The employee self-evaluation ensures that employees prepare thoughtfully for their performance development planning or appraisal meeting with their manager. 1  It provides a useful opportunity for the employees to seriously consider their level of performance and contribution.
Humours. In early accounts of human physiology, a person's physical and mental disposition was thought to be governed by a combination of fluids, or humours, within the body. Four humours were recognized: blood, phlegm, choler (also called yellow bile), and melancholy (also called black bile or black choler).
Because people believed that the quantity of humors in the body could not be replenished, there were folk-medical beliefs that the loss of fluids was a form of death. [citation needed] The humors can be found in Elizabethan works, such as in Taming of the Shrew, in which the character Petruchio pretends to be irritable and angry to show Katherina what it is like being around a disagreeable person.
