I read once that performance reviews should contain information that is actionable, relevant, and measurable. The article below discusses gender disparity when discussing personalities in the context of performance reviews. Here are some of the percentage deltas between men and women when described as: - Collaborative (68% of women v. 31% of men) - Helpful (36% of women v. 21% of men) - Nice (26% of women v. 12% of men) - Opinionated (28% of women v. 4% of men) - Abrasive (22% of women v. 2% of men) - Confident (18% of women v. 54% of men) - Ambitious (17% of women v. 63% of men)

Reviews should be actionable and measurable, yet the words used to describe men and women reveal a stark divide.
