self-rating

Judging your own

Self-rating is the act of evaluating or scoring oneself, typically on a scale or against criteria: Participants completed a self-rating questionnaire about their anxiety levels.

The term appears frequently in psychology, education, and workplace contexts where people assess their own abilities, performance, or characteristics.

Self-ratings may differ from external assessments—people tend to rate themselves more favorably than others would.
