Handy Self-Esteem Test

This evening I tried a self-esteem test on this website. It involved answering 79 quick questions with rating scales from 1 to 5 (you select which applies best). The test took about four or five minutes to complete.

My sense of self-worth: 70 out of 100.

"Your results indicate that your sense of self-worth is fairly healthy. You rarely put yourself down or fall victim to self-depreciating statements. There are certain attitudes and beliefs that have been found to contribute to and "feed" a positive self-image, and you appear to have many of them. Examples would be believing that you deserve to be loved or respected, believing that you’re good enough for someone, and focusing on your good qualities rather than only your perceived faults. While you may not necessarily feel all of these things all of the time, your opinion of yourself is generally quite positive. This is a healthy attitude to have, as a poor sense of self-worth can hold you back from pursuing your goals, cause you unnecessary stress, and even become self-fulfilling prophecies."

Whilst going through some of the questions, I found myself thinking "two months ago, I would have given a much less positive response, but now I feel more positive". So, it felt good - I'm making progress. I am going to repeat this test in 6 months time and see what score I get then.

If you think you may suffer from low self-esteem, give the test a try.
