self-evaluate (v.)Author: sedgehead Time: 2010-1-30 10:00
While self-evaluate is probably a good definition, my computer software suggests: self esteem. I suspect that's a good definition. What's the difference? Self esteem is how you feel about yourself. You can have low self esteem and feel you are not important or good at anything. Or you can have high self esteem to the point of being egotistical. On the other hand self evaluation is a bit more formal in reviewing how you did at a specific task or skill. For example, you could have low self esteem (feeling poorly about your past efforts) and still do a self evaluation (deciding you want to improve because your skills do not meet the goals you have set for yourself).Author: Moyan Time: 2010-2-9 09:26

Meanwhile, for "self-esteem", quote from Cambridge Dictionary :respect for yourself; from Longman English Dictionary: the feeling of being satisfied with your own abilities, and that you deserve to be liked or respected.
