ANALYSIS

Self-esteem is a trait of emotional stability, of being comfortable with oneself. Lack of self esteem, or inferiority complex, is a trait of emotional instability or neuroticism. Self-esteem is acquired through a history of successfully completed actions that demonstrate competence: the ability to produce a desired effect.

Those with high self-esteem scores have plenty of confidence in themselves and their abilities and believe that they are well-liked by other people.

Those with low scores have a low opinion of themselves and tend to project that opinion into other peoples' minds so they then assume that others consider them unattractive or incapable. This makes them self-conscious and inhibited. Such "mind-reading" needs to be disputed and self-esteem recovered by the acknowledgement of achievements.

How do you compare?

The norm on this trait is between 18-19 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:

Self-esteem 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 || 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Inferiority
