I presume that you thinking about personal evaluation. There are many techniques for doing this: 360 degree feedback, psychological tests etc. Think about what you want to achieve. Presumably you want t help an individual get better at what they do. There are generally two aspects to this: attitude and skills. Helping people to improve their skills is relatively straightforward if you have objective benchmarks for what they are trying to achieve. If you want to get better at playing the guitar, you have music exams, for example, or you can aim to be the next Eric Clapton. Traditionally, attitude is more difficult and rooted in psychology. There are many different facets to this and you think of a few just looking around you in the classroom. The most important step is the first and that is to be honest about the current situation. Most people don't like to upset others or accept criticism. If both parties can agree on a common definition of the 'truth', you are halfway there. Next you have to decide what a good attitude looks like and finally, you have to agree specifics on how you get from where you are today to where you both want to be.

I like the GROW model: 1. what's the Goal? 2 what's Reality? 3. what are the Options? 4. Wrap up

I tend to ask the key questions: what (is the problem), why (is it happening), how (did it occur) and when (did it happen). This can provide an analytical framework for thinking about the question.
