Self Assessment Activity

Introduction

In social psychology, self-assessment is the process of looking at oneself in order to assess aspects that are important to one's identity. It is one of the motives that drive self-evaluation, along with self-verification and self-enhancement. The self-assessment motive will prompt people to seek information to confirm their uncertain self-concept rather than their certain self-concept and at the same time people use self-assessment to enhance their certainty of their own self-knowledge. However, the self-assessment motive could be seen as quite different to the other two self-evaluation motives. Unlike the other two motives through self-assessment people are interested in the accuracy of their current self view, rather than improving their self-view. This makes self-assessment the only self-evaluative motive that may cause a person's self-esteem to be damaged.

The Self Assessment is a very useful tool. Start your self-assessment by reflecting the feedback you received during the period, from your colleagues, your functional head, your employees, citizens or internal customers. There were conflicts or Complaints? Have you received e-mails of praise? All this information should enable you to an idea of your strengths and your weaknesses.
