In some jurisdictions, you actually can't do an employee evaluation on a contractor, because that makes them an employee and eligible for employee benefits. But I doubt that's an issue here.
However, if you want to find out for yourself, I don't see any reason why you can't collect the information. If you want to keep it to behavioural stuff, I might suggest you do a start/stop/continue kind of exercise. This would best be done live (while you are not present), but could also conceivably be done by anonymous survey. This is where you ask what things people would like to see you stop doing, what things they'd like to see you start doing, and what things they like that should continue. This gets away from personality issues and more to addressable outcomes.
Done as a group exercise, people can write their STOP/START/CONTINUE items on a board, and others can vote 'agree' or 'disagree' with each item. Done privately, you just get a stack of papers and have to analyze the data for themes.
Because you are looking at your own performance, you might add something like "Brian could improve at..." and "Brian is great at..."
