Evaluation is the making of a judgment about the amount, quality, or value of something. It is an assessment that can be wholly subjective and qualitative or entirely objective and quantitative. Usually the results of an assessment fall somewhere in between. Rarely does the result represent a totally rational judgment. Before you can fix something, you need to know what is wrong with it.

Self-assessment or evaluation of oneself or one's skills and abilities, in particular, of one's performance at a job or task considered in relation to an objective standard. Self-evaluation is the ability to examine yourself to find out how much progress you have made. The purpose of a self-assessment is to help to you know the extent of your abilities and to improve upon them. It requires you to monitor your own abilities and evaluate strengths and weaknesses. It puts you in charge of your own improvement.

On the negative side, it can be challenging for individuals to accurately assess their own behaviors and attitudes. A big pitfall of a biased self-evaluation is that you end up overestimating your abilities. Constantly overlooking your shortcomings and focusing only on your strengths will likely give you a false sense of competence.
