Assessments are carried out every now and then in our daily
lives, range from academic to interpersonal. Certainly, it can be either formal
or informal, depending on our purpose in doing so. Very often, we check on the
amount of change after paying the bill, to see whether the waiter is being
honest instead of cheating our money. At times we allow the hairdresser to take
over in deciding our new hairstyle, hoping we will take on a whole new image
which would please us and the significant people around. Also, we take note of
the promises our lover or beloved friends have made from time to time, assessing
their trustworthiness for future reference. All and all, assessments come into
picture across different situations, among different circles, with us being the
examiner, determining our very own marking scheme. Though we may be assessing
others at this moment, we are in the same time being assessed by the people around,
looking from different perspectives based on the necessity and likability.
