Discover Your Self-Esteem Profile
Your relationship with yourself shapes how you think, feel, and show up in the world. This self-esteem test is designed to help you understand the different layers that influence your confidence, your sense of worth, and the way you relate to others. Instead of giving you a single number, it breaks self-esteem down into four meaningful components that together create your unique personal profile.
Think of this assessment as a moment of clarity — a chance to notice what already works well for you and where you might be harder on yourself than necessary. There are no right or wrong answers, just insights that can help you grow.
What this test measures
Self-worth / Self-liking
How kindly you relate to yourself, how much you value who you are, and the degree to which you treat yourself with appreciation rather than criticism.
Social self-esteem
How comfortable and accepted you feel in your relationships, and how confident you are in expressing your needs or boundaries with others.
Self-confidence
Your sense of inner security when you speak, act, make decisions, or step into situations where others might be watching.
Self-competence
How capable and effective you see yourself when facing tasks, challenges, responsibilities, or new opportunities.
Why take this test?
- To understand how different parts of your self-esteem work together
- To spot strengths you can rely on
- To identify patterns that might hold you back
- To receive personalised feedback based on your answers
This test doesn’t diagnose anything — it simply offers a clear, structured picture of how you relate to yourself, and how those patterns may influence your everyday life.
Frequently Asked Questions about this Self-Esteem Test
Is this self-esteem test a diagnosis?
No. This test is an informative self-assessment tool, not a clinical diagnosis. It can help you reflect on how you see yourself and which areas of your self-esteem feel stronger or more fragile. If you are struggling or feel distressed, it may be helpful to speak with a qualified mental health professional.
How long does the test take?
Most people complete the test in a few minutes. There are 20 short statements and you simply choose how much each one matches your experience. Try to respond honestly based on how you usually feel, rather than how you think you “should” feel.
What do the four self-esteem dimensions mean?
The test provides a profile across four areas: self-worth / self-liking, social self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-competence. Together, they show how kindly you relate to yourself, how accepted you feel by others, how secure you feel in visible situations, and how capable you see yourself when facing tasks and challenges.
Can I improve my self-esteem if my scores are low?
Yes. Self-esteem is not fixed. Low scores do not mean you are “broken”, but they can highlight patterns of self-criticism, doubt or insecurity that you might want to work on. Small, consistent changes in how you talk to yourself, set boundaries, and face challenges can gradually strengthen your self-esteem over time.
Should I retake the test?
You can retake the test if you want to track changes over time, for example after a period of personal work or therapy. However, avoid repeating it too often: use it as a snapshot, not as something to monitor obsessively from day to day.
