You have scored 55.
What your scoring means
You have quite good self-esteem on the whole. But you sometimes fail to believe in yourself enough. Remember you are a special and unique person. Many people with your score feel confident in what they do for a living and get a lot of affirmation from that. It's important however, to feel good about who you are, not just about what you do. Have a think about this. -
You have scored 30.
What your scoring means
The chances are that you find life very difficult indeed. You may well have a number of failed relationships behind you. Perhaps you've had problems with anger, or jealousy that have caused a split with a partner. You may also have found that your working life has been extremely disappointing.
But you can change things. Read the 'self-esteem' article and try the various strategies outlined there especially the one about listing 50 things and writing these characteristics out on cards, and carrying them with you.
If you do this and some of the other suggested exercises you should begin to see yourself in a new light. It will also help you to read the books listed at the end of the article.
You might also want to consider counseling because you would almost certainly benefit from having it. There is a form of therapy calledcognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which is very helpful for people with low self-esteem. And the good news is that in many areas of the UK, there is good, free provision of CBT on the NHS.
So ask your GP if he or she can refer you for some professional help.
Finally, many people with this kind of score are actually seriously depressed. Do you think this could apply to you? If you think it might, please discuss this with your doctor because treatments and help are available. -
I retook it and I got this..
How high is your self-esteem?
You have scored 72.
What your scoring means
You have excellent self-esteem. You may well have had problems with valuing yourself in the past, but you have become a confident person with a proper appreciation of yourself. You are almost certainly someone who other people like and admire, and your belief in yourself helps you to make good friendships and relationships. However, your inner confidence also enables you to feel happy and relaxed when you are alone. -

You have scored 43.
What your scoring means
The chances are that you really don't like yourself much at all. And yet nature has made you utterly unique. You have as much right to be on this planet, and to do as well, as anyone else. You have great personal qualities. But they do need bringing out.
Have a look at the 'self-esteem' article. It contains lots of advice that you may find helpful to adopt. Also have a look at the recommended books, which could change your whole life.
You might also want to consider having some therapy. The treatment of choice for poor self-esteem is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
There is much more provision for CBT treatment on the NHS these days. But it could be that your doctor might not consider your problem severe enough to warrant free treatment.
If by any chance this is true of you, and you still want to have CBT you might want to consider paying to have it privately. You can find out more by going to the website of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. -

How high is your self-esteem?
You have scored 49.
What your scoring means
Many people think you are confident and in charge of your life. You're not so sure! It may be that you had a difficult upbringing with parents who were too demanding of you. Or perhaps you have always felt that you're not as bright as other people think you are. Or maybe you feel unlovable.
If you're in a relationship, it's possible that you often feel anxious about it. Sometimes you may worry that you'll 'muck things up'. You may also have serious concerns that your partner may one day decide you're not worth loving. -
^ That was scary accurate. What it says has happened, and that's how I would feel if I were in a relationship.
