About this test
This test uses IPIP’s ten-question Self-Esteem scale, which measures the same broad idea as Rosenberg’s scale. Five statements describe ease with yourself and five describe self-doubt; the result shows where your answers fall on this test’s range.

What this test adds
The ten published public-domain questions produce one score on this test’s range, and all ten appear in the answer review.
A small next step
Take the statement you hesitated over longest and catch it three times this week, in the moment. Each time write two lines: what had just happened, and the exact words that went through your head. Reading those lines back on Sunday shows whether the feeling follows the day's events or runs regardless of them, which one sitting can never show you.
Questions people ask
What does a self-esteem test measure?
This one shows where your answers sat between being at ease with yourself and doubting yourself, on ten published statements. It describes the answers you gave, not your value, and there is no ranking or cut-off behind it.
Can self-esteem change?
Public health services describe self-esteem as the opinion you have of yourself and as something that can be worked on with attention and daily practice, which is why this page prints a score for today rather than a level you are stuck at.
Is low self-esteem a mental health condition?
Low self-esteem is not a diagnosis, though it can accompany low mood. If it is affecting daily life, a doctor can help.
Are my answers saved anywhere?
No. The questions are free to take, and you do not need an account. Your answers and your result stay in this browser tab and are gone when you close or reset it.
