Self-Esteem Test: Check Your Confidence & Self-Worth Levels
Personality
This 24-question assessment helps you explore how you perceive your own worth, competence, and social standing. Designed for the general adult population, it provides a supportive snapshot of your current confidence levels and offers practical insights for building a healthier self-image.
Self-esteem is more than just "feeling good." It is the lens through which you view your abilities, your relationships, and your value as a human being. This test helps you pause and look at that lens objectively.
By taking this assessment, you can expect to:
We often think of confidence as a fixed trait—you either have it or you don't. In reality, self-esteem is a dynamic relationship you have with yourself. It influences how you handle mistakes, how you advocate for your needs, and how you connect with others.
This test addresses real-life questions such as:
In psychology, healthy self-esteem isn't about arrogance or thinking you are perfect. It is about "self-acceptance"—the ability to recognize your flaws while still holding a fundamental belief in your own worth. This test is designed to measure that balance.
This assessment draws on established psychological frameworks regarding self-concept and self-worth. It integrates concepts similar to those found in the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (global self-worth) and the Self-Liking and Self-Competence Scale (separating worth from ability).
Rather than giving you a single "high or low" number, we decompose self-esteem into three distinct areas. This approach helps reveal why you might feel capable in one area of life but insecure in another.
The test evaluates your patterns across three core dimensions:
The test consists of 24 questions. Most users complete it in about 5 to 10 minutes.
The test is free to take, and you do not need to create an account to view your initial results.
You will see a series of statements about your thoughts and feelings (e.g., "I feel that I have a number of good qualities"). For each statement, you will choose an option on a 7-point scale ranging from Strongly Disagree (1) to Strongly Agree (7).
There are no "right" or "wrong" answers. The most helpful results come from honesty. Try not to overthink or select the answer that sounds "healthiest." Just choose the one that feels most true to your typical daily experience.
Answer in a way that reflects your everyday patterns, not the "ideal version" of yourself.
The test uses a straightforward scoring logic. Your responses are aggregated to calculate a total score, which determines your overall self-esteem profile type. Simultaneously, we calculate separate scores for the three dimensions (Internal Self-Acceptance, Performance Competence, and Social Security) to give you a more detailed breakdown of your strengths and blind spots.
This test uses a single, complete block of questions. You will answer all 24 items in one session to generate your full report.
This test is especially helpful if you:
If any of the following applies, please consider seeking professional help instead of relying only on this test:
If you are in immediate danger or thinking about self-harm, please contact local emergency services or crisis hotlines instead of relying on online tests.
Your result page will not grade you as "good" or "bad." Instead, it will place you into one of three descriptive profiles that reflect your current relationship with yourself.
You will likely see a result such as:
In addition to your profile, the report includes tailored advice on your strengths, potential pitfalls (like perfectionism or people-pleasing), and concrete exercises you can try to build a stronger sense of self.
Please remember that a test score is just a snapshot of where you are right now. Self-esteem is neuroplastic—it can change. Learned patterns of negative self-talk can be unlearned.
Use your result as a starting point for curiosity and small experiments, not as a verdict about who you are allowed to be.
Based on your result, you might choose to:
Sharing your results can be vulnerable but rewarding. You might share this with a partner to explain why you react strongly to criticism, or with a therapist to identify focus areas for your sessions. You are always in control of your data and who sees it.
