Summary/Abstract: The study approaches the problem of the interference of subjective factors in school assessment and recommends a change of the classic attitude that qualifies the subjective intervention as a negative one, which leads to lack of objectivity and incorrectness and therefore should be eliminated. The study supports the assumption that a strictly objective, impersonal, indifferent and completely neutral assessment, that is an non subjective evaluation is not only impossible, but also hardly significant, less relevant and finally, less objective than an assessment that explicitly involves the subjectivity, the values, the attitudes including or especially the personal approach of the evaluator and of the evaluated person. Emerging this hypothesis the study operates with the distinction between two aspects of the subjective influences in the assessment act: a positive one which must be encouraged, called “subjectivity” and a negative one which should be limited called “subjectivism”.
