Abstract
What kind of a person are you? Does superior, adequate, or below average describe your work and productivity? Does your body measure up to societal expectations? Or do you shop for portly or extra large jeans? Do friends characterize you as an obnoxious gabber, a wallflower, or a true comrade? Assessment and evaluation describe a process that consumes much of our attention and effort. How we measure up affects longevity on the job, the approval of our peers, and our sense of self-worth.
