To be honest, I've never really given it much thought.
I'm pretty headstrong sometimes, and although I offer praise often to others, I don't really take their praise to heart. I judge, based on my own standards, how I did - I give myself a pat on the back when I earned it, and constructively criticize when necessary.
Growing up, I didn't receive much praise, and so I used the only judgment that I knew - my own. I'm not trying to imply that I am unequivocally the master of critiquing myself, but I think I do a relatively fair job.
