Self-evaluation

Self-evaluation is a person appraising, for themselves, their own development, progress, and current state. It complements an external measurement tool, because a person's own experience and inner awareness carry a knowledge that no outside tool can fully capture. Self-evaluation also feeds the habit of reflecting on one's own process. Even so, it is not sufficient on its own; a person can see some of their blind spots only through feedback that comes from outside. The coach helps the client both look at themselves honestly and balance this look with outside observations.
