# Question about the overall performance assessment

The overall-performance question is one of the four [performance questions](/en/c/feedbacks/configure-performance-questions) in easyreview. It is shown in both the self-assessment and the external assessment. In the self-assessment, the feedback recipient rates their own performance; in the external assessment, the feedback giver (for example the supervisor) rates the employee's performance.

In the questionnaire, it is shown as a multiple-choice question with only one possible answer:
