I scored 50 unfortunately, which is fairly low.
The nice thing about this though, is they send you to another page after you get your score,
which gives you a bunch of tips and what not, to help you increase your self esteem.
(If help is needed of course.)
Personally I thought it was neat.
I gave it go..
QuoteHow high is your self-esteem?
You have scored 69.
What your scoring means
You have excellent self-esteem. You may well have had problems with valuing yourself in the past, but you have become a confident person with a proper appreciation of yourself. You are almost certainly someone who other people like and admire, and your belief in yourself helps you to make good friendships and relationships. However, your inner confidence also enables you to feel happy and relaxed when you are alone.
Which I think sums me up quite well...
QuoteYou have scored 77.
What your scoring means
If you've answered entirely honestly then I'm afraid you are too smug for your own good! In fact, there's a danger that some people find you insufferable. It's great to value yourself highly, but you seem to think you're perfect. And no one is
My my; hasn't the writer of that test, got a problem with his self esteem. I'm no where near perfect and have NEVER thought that in any way, shape or form. Far from it. And didn't you like that enormous smack of negative about being smug. That poor boy missed the mark just so much, it's not funny. Fortunately, the negative was like water on a ducks back.
Sure; I may be insufferable in a work environment, to some. I'm paid to produce results. No results, no pay. Good work ethic. But outside of that I'm a pussycat.
Nice to know you're level headed Kelly. Hope it goes well for you tomorrow night.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv

Oh dear, I thought I'd score much better than this.
QuoteYou have scored 44.

The chances are that you really don't like yourself much at all. And yet nature has made you utterly unique. You have as much right to be on this planet, and to do as well, as anyone else. You have great personal qualities. But they do need bringing out
You have scored 56.
What your scoring means
You have quite good self-esteem on the whole. But you sometimes fail to believe in yourself enough. Remember you are a special and unique person. Many people with your score feel confident in what they do for a living and get a lot of affirmation from that. It's important however, to feel good about who you are, not just about what you do. Have a think about this.

OH!!!! Joey,
Do it again. ...... You can do better than that !!! You've got much more self esteem than THAT.
Just goes to prove how ineffective these internet tests are.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv

The results will only be accurate if you answer the questions HONESTLY.

Well, there we go.
BTW, that website is awfully slow at the time I did the test - very frustrating.
Enjoy,

No surprise there! I hate my body - I always felt ugly. I've never fit in with the guys but was considered male by the girls so not allowed close. I'm starting to feel much better about myself as a woman but there's a long way to go.

QuoteYou have scored 49.
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.

You have scored 29.
What your scoring means
The chances are that you find life very difficult indeed. You may well have a number of failed relationships behind you. Perhaps you've had problems with anger, or jealousy that have caused a split with a partner. You may also have found that your working life has been extremely disappointing.
But you can change things. Read the 'self-esteem' article and try the various strategies outlined there – especially the one about listing 50 things and writing these characteristics out on cards, and carrying them with you.
If you do this – and some of the other suggested exercises – you should begin to see yourself in a new light. It will also help you to read the books listed at the end of the article.
You might also want to consider counseling because you would almost certainly benefit from having it. There is a form of therapy called cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which is very helpful for people with low self-esteem. And the good news is that in many areas of the UK, there is good, free provision of CBT on the NHS.

59... probably largely to the fact that I do not tend to answer at the extremities...
53, mostly the body thing and not being able to be alone anymore.

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.
I dunno, this seems a little bit high, I had a lot of occasionally marked. I'm not shy, I don't really ever feel like I don't deserve to be happy but I can be really critical of myself at times. For example, I feel like this score is too high for me and I need to go back and retake it to see if I was honest and maybe I need to have a lower score:

I've not had a 'number of failed relationships' because I've only ever had one. And I'm still with my partner.
So, all those who think I am confident, just goes to show you I'm not. ^_^
Wow, this thread is so old xD
I didn't even remember making it.
I scored 61. The lost points are probably from the perfectionist thing. :laugh:
Wow, I always suck at tests. ;) <big grin>

Sounds about right.
49. Which was not as bad as I expected.The explanation was uncannily spot-on.
Scored 67. Same explanation as Brooke777

I agree with most of this. The relationship part isn't accurate, really, though.
Other than that, I think it's pretty fitting.
I like tests like these! Thanks for sharing.
