SELF-ESTEEM TEST SCORES

35 40: Your self-esteem is strong, you appear very confident and secure. Have you been
honest with yourself? If you have, take care that you dont come across to others as arrogant
and opinionated.
29 34: You have a healthy outlook and positive regard for yourself which communicates itself
to others. You work well and appear to be confident without being arrogant.
13 28: Your self-esteem is average. Things get you down sometimes but you bounce back.
You may tend to blame yourself too much, so talk to someone you trust and share
disappointments. You probably undervalue yourself.

self-esteem is low. Perhaps you expect too much from yourself? Talk to someone you respect
about this.

unhappy and are probably over-sensitive to criticism and a bit depressed. Talk things over with
someone you trust.
