external assessment/evaluation


Explanation:
self-assessment/self-evaluation vs. external assessment/evaluation

See example:

http://www.thieme-connect.com/ejournals/toc/gebfra/1692;jses... -
"369 Panagl, Agnes; Kohlhauser, Christina; Fuiko, Renate; Pollak, A.:
Belastungen von Eltern auf neonatologischen Intensivstationen - Selbsteinschätzung versus Fremdeinschätzung
Stress on Parents in Neonatological Intensive Care Units - Self-Assessment versus External Evaluation"


http://www.qualityresearchinternational.com/glossary/ provides definitions for the field of quality management:

"Self-assessment

core definition
Self-assessment is the process of critically reviewing the quality of ones own performance and provision.

explanatory context
Self-assessment may be undertaken on an individual basis or, in the context of external quality review, on a collective basis.
Self-assessment is used interchangeably with self-evaluation and self-study in the context of higher education quality. They all involve a process of self-reflection by the institution or sub-institutional unit being reviewed and the preparation of a document reflecting that self-reflection.
Some commentators confusingly equate self-evaluation with internal evaluation."

and

"External evaluation: External evaluation is:
1. a generic term for most forms of quality review, enquiry or exploration.
2. a process that uses people external to the programme or institution to evaluate quality or standards.

External evaluation team: External evaluation team is the group of people, including persons external to the programme or institution being reviewed, who undertake the quality evaluation."


What is the exact context/field in your case (psychology, quality management, business administration ...)?

"third-party assessment" might also fit.

neutral  Kim Metzger: I'm worried about "external evaluation" because it usually refers to the evaluation of an institution by an outside body. I found lots of examples of "assessment by others". http://www.socioweb.de/lexikon/lex_soz/f_j/fremdein.htm

  -> True but we'd have to know the exact context first.
