Self-Esteem Assessment Tool

Self esteem is the opinion you have of yourself. It is based on your attitude about you as a person, the job that you do, your achievements, how you think other see you, your purpose in life, your potential successes, your strengths and weaknesses, your independence and your ability to stand on your own tow feet.

Low self esteem results from you having a poor self image caused by your attitude to one or more of the above. Example: you do not value the job you do highly or you feel you have no purpose in your life.

High self esteem is the opposite! It is a very important aspect of your life. If you have a high level you will be confident, happy and sure of yourself. You would be highly motivated and have the right attitude to succeed.

Self esteem is therefore crucial to you and is a cornerstone of a positive attitude towards living.

Determine if your self-esteem is at a healthy level by completing this questionnaire: If you circled F for three or more of the preceding questions, you probably need to work at increasing you self-esteem.
