For yourself

What is the meaning of "for yourself" in "You should find out for yourself" ?

Does it mean that You should find out for your own benefit or does it mean that You should find out on your own ?

Great question! In this case, I believe " for yourself" really means " by yourself". The speaker is implying that he/she doesn't want to do the "finding out" and that the other person should investigate the matter alone.
