Self-esteem reflects how positively you evaluate yourself overall. Psychologist Morris Rosenberg developed a concise ten-statement questionnaire that reliably captures this global sense of self-worth in adults and adolescents. Your responses to each statement reveal where you sit on a continuum from low to high self-regard. Understanding this baseline helps track personal growth and informs supportive conversations.

The scale assigns four-point Likert values to each statement, reverses negatively worded items, and sums the ten scores for a total between zero and thirty. An interactive gauge chart visualises the result in low, typical, or high bands, offering quick insight while keeping all computations inside your browser for instant feedback.

Complete the questionnaire before a coaching session to obtain a measurable baseline, repeat after a month of targeted practice, and discuss the trend with your mentor or therapist; it also fits neatly into periodic team well-being check-ins across projects; treat results as guidance, not proof, and avoid over-interpreting small fluctuations caused by daily mood or temporary stressors.

This assessment offers information only and does not constitute a clinical diagnosis.

Technical Details:

Each answered statement receives a numeric value from zero (strongly disagree) to three (strongly agree).

Five negatively phrased items are reverse-scored, then all ten adjusted values are added to produce a global self-esteem score displayed by the charting layer.

Reverse scoring ensures that agreement with a negative statement lowers the total, maintaining conceptual alignment across all items and allowing a straightforward sum to reflect overall positivity.

  • Ten fixed statements; no item weighting.
  • Four options per item; no neutral choice.
  • Client-side encoding of answers in query string.
  • Gauge updates responsively on window resize.

Calculations & Scoring:

This section walks through the numeric steps applied to your answers.

Total score equals the sum of adjusted item values.

v= 3,2,1,3,1,2,2,1,0,0
v= 3,2,1,3,1,2,2,1,0,0 The raw Likert scores represent your direct responses.

v3,5,8,9,10= 1,1,1,0,0
r3,5,8,9,10= 2,2,2,3,3 Subtract each flagged value from 3 to align directions.

FAQ:

Common questions about scoring, privacy, and best practices.

Is my data stored?

No. Every calculation runs locally in your browser, and the encoded answer string never leaves your device.

Can I skip an item?

The tool requires all ten items for a valid score; unanswered items will prompt you to complete them.

How often should I retake it?

Wait at least two weeks between sessions to allow meaningful change, unless instructed otherwise by a professional.

What if my score feels inaccurate?

View the result as a snapshot. Discuss discrepancies with a mentor or counsellor rather than relying on the number alone.

May adolescents use this tool?

Yes, the scale was validated with adolescents; however, younger users may need adult support to interpret outcomes responsibly.

Troubleshooting:

Resolve common issues quickly with these tips.

  • Nothing happens after clicking Start Assessment – ensure JavaScript is enabled.
  • The gauge chart looks stretched – resize your browser or rotate your device.
  • Radio buttons appear disabled – refresh the page to reset any cached inputs.
  • Progress bar stalls at 90 % – scroll down and answer any skipped item highlighted in the list.
  • Printed answers table is truncated – choose landscape orientation in the print dialog.

Advanced Tips:

Make the most of the assessment with these expert suggestions.

  • Use identical timing and setting for repeat sessions to improve comparability.
  • Record reflections alongside scores to contextualise numeric changes.
  • Combine results with goal-setting exercises to turn insight into action.
  • Translate statements into your first language for clearer self-reflection.
  • Export the query-string code to bookmark personalised results for later review.
