Self-Esteem: Do you have it or are you lacking? Take this test.

And then share the results...if you have enough self-esteem. I don't.

which is an admirable quality.

4. No, it means that I don't want to disagree with you, therefore causing possible confrontations
leading to uncontrollable weeping and eventual drinking into a stupor.

5. My results
Your results indicate that your sense of self-worth is very healthy. You rarely, if ever, 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 most 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 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.

6. I scored a 20
Not really surprised though. I've had low self-esteem my whole life and have struggled with depression off and on for most of it.

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.

Snapshot Report
Sense of Self-Worth
45

Your results indicate that your opinion of yourself is generally positive, but your sense of self-worth isn’t as strong as it could be. You sometimes put yourself down, falling victim to your own self-depreciating statements. An unstable sense of self-worth can result from a wide range of factors: perhaps you've recently gone through a particularly difficult period in your life, or you didn't get the support you needed from others when you were growing up. The important thing however, is not to figure out who/what is to blame; it is to recognize that it's now up to you to boost your self-image. There are certain attitudes and beliefs that have been found to contribute to and "feed" a negative self-image, and you appear to have some of them. Examples would be believing that you don’t deserve to be loved or respected, believing that you’re not good enough for someone, and focusing only on your perceived faults rather than good qualities. While you may not necessarily feel all of these things all of the time, there may be a few that are ingrained in your mindset to the point that they are surely affecting your life. You may not even realize it, but these beliefs can discourage you from pursuing your goals, cause you unnecessary stress, and even become self-fulfilling prophecies. A slight change in mindset could really make a difference in your life.

25. 25. Not surprised
Your results indicate that you seem to have a fairly low opinion of yourself. You often put yourself down a lot, falling victim to your own self-depreciating statements. Essentially, you are suffering from a lack of self-worth, an issue that many people encounter at some point in their lives. A weakened sense of self-worth can result from a wide range of factors: perhaps you've recently gone through a particularly difficult period in your life, or you didn't get the support you needed from others when you were growing up. The important thing however, is not to figure out who/what is to blame; it is to recognize that it's now up to you to boost your self-image. There are certain attitudes and beliefs that have been found to contribute to and "feed" a negative self-image and you appear to have quite a few of them. Examples would be believing that you don’t deserve to be loved or respected, believing that you’re not good enough for someone, and focusing only on your perceived faults rather than good qualities. While you may not necessarily feel all of these things all of the time, they are pretty ingrained in your mindset to the point that they are surely affecting your life. You may not even realize it, but these beliefs can discourage you from pursuing your goals, cause you unnecessary stress, and even become self-fulfilling prophecies. A change in mindset could make all the difference in the world.

I'm feeling rather low right now. But that's because I'm careful to separate my feelings about myself from my feelings about my situation, so I guess that helps. I'm not sucky; my situation is.

45. The same thing happened to me.
In 1996, my mother and grandmother died.

The same year, I was married and became a Dad.

And I moved out of the house I had been living in for most of my life.

Crazy year.

in that space of 18 months, I:


Experienced my dad's death

Broke up a 10 year marriage,

Left a stable but poorly paid job, moved to a different city

Cared for my mother and watched her die

Became a first time home owner and got a new job.

Six months later:

Participated in my niece's wedding the same weekend I filed for divorce.

Geez, it can only get better. P

Seems I'm not even enough of a worthwhile individual to deserve my own paragraph about how crappy my self-esteem is. It's enough to make me slit my wrists, if I thought I was worth the cost of the blades. Oh woe is me, oh woe oh woe.

76. Yeah, I scored a 57 and received the same response
I was kind of expecting to get something along those lines. My view of myself is fairly complicated, so I figured I'd end up somewhere in the middle. I'm often depressed and probably have undiagnosed social anxiety disorder, but also have a decent level of confidence in who I am as a person and am unlikely to change much about myself to try to appeal to others.

Not really a surprise. I pretty much loathe myself on a daily basis.

The only thing that keeps me from offing myself is the fact that I think other people around me are worse than I am. In the land of the blind, the one eyed are kings.

Your results indicate that your sense of self-worth is very healthy. You rarely, if ever, 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 most 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 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.

Five years ago, it would have been way lower than that. It took me a while to figure out what's really important, and whose opinion really counts. Therapy helps.

All the shite that happened to me in 2007 didn't help. :(

I knew I had low self-esteem before taking the test - now I'm even more depressed.

All your self esteem are belong to us.

Here's my report:

"You are like a god. Other people may have healthy self esteem, but in terms of pure awesomeness, you have them beat. When they see the light that is your soul, they shield their eyes from the brightness of your alphaness. TO ONE SIDE, BETAS! Your king has arrived. His self-esteem shows you for the pathetic, ugly and smelly person you are."

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.


Does anyone else find it interesting that the "results" page has an add for weight loss....?

88. I'm a bad person...
it wouldn't even let me take the test :( I was redirected to the index page. alas.

Seriously, though, I like this guy's take on it...

http://www.valt.helsinki.fi/blogs/jmikkone/post11.htm

Albert Ellis starts his introduction to the book by asking: “Is self-esteem a sickness?” Then, he states that self-esteem is probably the greatest emotional disturbance known to the human race, if we understand self-esteem in the way in which it is usually defined. Because of our conditional self-worth, Ellis is rumoured to have said a number of times that: "All humans are out of their fucking minds – every single one of them".

Here's to being out of my fucking mind :)

89. 94. I think I suffer from too much self esteem at times.
I'm often puzzled by how little others have for themselves. Sometimes people are so concerned about what others think of them they make themselves miserable. I cannot live that way.

Wonder what it would have been the weekend Mother called Friday morning to tell me Daddy's cancer had come back, Daddy called Sunday morning to tell me Mother had fallen and broken her hip, our daughter called two hours later to tell me she was getting a divorce.
