What your scoring means
Many people think you are confident and in charge of your life. You're not so sure! It may be that you had a difficult upbringing with parents who were too demanding of you. Or perhaps you have always felt that you're not as bright as other people think you are. Or maybe you feel unlovable.
If you're in a relationship, it's possible that you often feel anxious about it. Sometimes you may worry that you'll 'muck things up'. You may also have serious concerns that your partner may one day decide you're not worth loving.
Have a look at the article called 'self-esteem', which is on this website in the Sex and relationships section. There are plenty of tips in there to help you. And if you do a bit of work on improving your self-esteem, you'll find that you have fewer worries and that your life will run more smoothly.
I find that the questions are incredibly vague, and therefore, half of them require guesswork in order to ascertain their original intent, and by extension, what related issues would be thought of as valid considerations to take into account in order to put down a precise answer.
For example, the question that invokes the idea of luck. I rarely attribute anything to luck, per se, but I may attribute, say, the chance emergence of a brilliant piece of written work to merely the coincidental happenings of several inspirations. It's not luck in that it can be relied on, and can be expected to happen periodically, though such a scenario may fit the intended parameters of the question because I associate that success with something other than my own "hard" work and practice, in spite of its origination, nonetheless, in my mind - fair and square.
So, therefore, I arbitrarily answered the questions in an accommodating, imprecise way, as opposed to adhering strictly to the literal meaning of each question. Because of this, my answer may be lower than it should be, so be aware.
... As if anyone actually cares, of course. Haha.
The lower answer appears to be an accurate representation of myself, however it seems to give me too much credit. Though, that may be because the sum of my problems is not simply an issue with self-esteem, but rather, it includes depression, dysphoria, and more, rather miscellaneous, trouble. Perhaps it is so that my self-esteem is actually one of my stronger qualities at this point in time, relative to my other virtues and vices.
