Rosenberg's self-esteem scale

Post Reply New Topic

gotta 30, but it's only 10 questions


Strengths
You believe in your ability to handle challenges and accomplish things

Potential Strengths
Your overall self-esteem is satisfactory
You are relatively capable of dealing with rejection from others (ha! me too!)
You feel somewhat loved and accepted by others

Limitations
You tend to take criticism personally

----------
Well I imagine that their interpretation are accurate enough for NTs but for those who over-think/analyze everything and think "creatively" this thing is probably a big fat mess.

Got a 5, retried without using the strongly agree/disagree at all and got an 11


other test:

Strengths

· No strengths were detected

Potential Strengths

· You are relatively capable of dealing with rejection from others

Limitations

· You have low self-esteem overall
· You do not believe in your ability to handle everyday challenges
· You tend to take criticism personally
· You don't feel very loved and accepted by others

I know I'm better at dealing with criticism than I used to be and I think the last limitation listed is wrong, unless that only applies to strangers and not family and stuff.

6. In a different test it'll probably be 1. This quiz is too short and probably misses a lot of ideas.

Yes, I think that is a potential problem. However, objective reality would be very difficult to determine here - if there even is such a thing! What does it mean for someone to really be useless? It's a matter of opinion, not fact. I think the test relies on the fact that most people's opinions of themselves have little correlation with available evidence - eg. someone might honestly think they're ugly when others honestly think they're good-looking or vice-versa. In that sense the test mainly "works" for determining self-esteem, but it may not work quite as well on truth-seeking aspies as on NTs.

I think a bigger problem is in the interpretation of results: high self-esteem = good, low self-esteem = bad. I don't agree with that. It's far too simplistic. If a person feels they have much to be proud of and they shouldn't, is that a good thing? Not in my book. Perhaps if they didn't mistakenly feel that way they would do more to actually have something to be proud of.

8/30.

I feel the exact same way. Marshall, it is because the world is f****d up. IMHO, it is because we live in a world in which everything is treated as a commodity. Nothing is considered having any intrinsic worth or having beauty for its own sake. We live in a world not of substance but of surface appearances and shadows. Our whole society we live in Marshall is fake and plastic. There is no more imagination or wonder. Our world is cold, machine-like, commidified, and uniform. There is no more color.
