subjectiveness
Individual viewpoint quality
Subjectiveness is the quality of being based on personal feelings, opinions, or interpretations rather than external facts.
It describes how much something depends on individual perspective rather than objective measurement.
The term overlaps almost entirely with subjectivity, which is far more common; subjectiveness appears mainly in older texts or when writers want variation.
The subjectiveness of taste makes art criticism endlessly debatable.
