Definition
The practice of critiquing or evaluating one's own work, behavior, or ideas honestly and constructively.
Etymology
From auto- (self) + criticism (from Greek 'kritikos,' able to judge). This word combines self-reference with the critical evaluation process, becoming especially important in scientific and artistic contexts where self-review is essential.
Kelly Says
Self-criticism is a key difference between people who improve and people who stagnate—yet research shows most people are terrible at it because our brains protect our ego; true autocriticism requires intellectual humility.
