if you are looking to criticize yourself...remember to take a perceived negative and spin it up. for example...

"Perfectionist on work which other less committed team members sometimes don't understand."

and

"Dedication and focus on tasks sometimes limits social opportunities with other team members."

you see what i mean? it looks like you are criticizing yourself...but its a back pat. what form of criticism are you likely to get..."spend more time socializing with team and less time being dedicated and focused"? not likely.

good luck and let us know how it goes!
One theory is that if you don't leave room for improvment there is no reason to give financial rewards when different goals are met...just saying be careful about calling yourself perfect.
I just left a company that was all about these self reviews. I'm not sure how much weight they carried but I made sure that I wasn't making them feel that what they were getting was the ceiling.
