Shouldn't Skills that are subject to interpretation (often) be DM check?
Skills like Deception, Intimidation, Insight, investigation, nature, Perception, and even Stealth for exemple, where the check may not be indicated to the player, but rather only the result of it, so that they don't know how successful they are?

Wow this is pretty much how everyone runs it.Often times the check is rolled by the dm and the normal information is given.I only run this on stealth,perception,investigation and insight (the others make no sense if you stop for a second).
The DMG and PHB both directly and clearly mention this approach.Also a nitpick but,you should use gender neutral pronouns when referring to someone of indeterminate gender.

Most game i played or seen in play the players are rolling their skills, not the DM so it' certainly is not everyone that runs it that way.
Sorry i am not english native and don't know what pronoun i should have used instead.
Yeah, I would not say this is the typical way to run it. Rather, I would say that I've seen DMs use it at their discretion. But honestly, most of the time it's not necessary. Instead, the DM simply doesn't reveal if you are successful. For example, when my players roll 15+ on an Insight check, I invariably say, "You think she's telling the truth." But I do not say, "She's telling the truth." I generally roll contested checks behind the screen for this kind of thing. So even if you roll a 24 Insight, you don't know how good the NPC's Deception modifier is or how well they rolled. You think she's telling the truth, but you can never be sure.
It makes some sense for the player to know how well they roll. Usually when making an Insight check, you have some feeling for whether you can read the other person, or they're just inscrutable. Or if you're trying to be Stealthy and step on a creaky board, you know it. But if you run Stealth as a contested check, then even if you're being vewy vewy quiet, an enemy with excellent perception might spot you.
