PURPOSES OF THIS EMPLOYEE EVALUATION:

To take a personal inventory, to pin-point weaknesses and strengths and to outline and agree upon a practical

improvement program. Periodically conducted, these Evaluations will provide a history of development and progress.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Listed below are a number of traits, abilities and characteristics that are important for success in business. Place an “X”

mark on each rating scale, over the descriptive phrase which most nearly describes the person being rated.

Carefully evaluate each of the qualities separately.

Two common mistakes in rating are: (1) A tendency to rate nearly everyone as ”average” on every trait instead of being

more critical in judgment. The rater should use the ends of the scale as well as the middle, and (2) The “Halo Effect,”

i.e., a tendency to rate the same individual “excellent” on every trait or “poor” on every trait based on the overall picture

one has of the person being rated. However, each person has strong points and weak points and these should be

indicated on the rating scale.
