Check (for) yourself ...

Hi

Check (for) yourself how it works ...

--- Does "check yourself" and "check for yourself" mean exactly the same?

How about "find it out for yourself" or "learn it for yourself"?

Newguest Does "check yourself" and "check for yourself" mean exactly the same? It could, but omitting 'for' makes for ambiguity or at least temporary confusion. 'Check yourself' has me taking my own pulse.
