Check Your Self-Esteem - Barksdale Self-Esteem Evaluation No. 69
(This is an EVALUATION, not a test)
This Self-Esteem Evaluation measures your current level of self- esteem, your Self-Esteem Index (SEI), and serves as a gauge of your progress in achieving sound self-esteem. It is important to clearly understand all statements and be completely honest in your scoring if you are to obtain a valid SEI. It is essential that you answer these statements according to how you actually feel or behave, instead of how you think you "should" feel or behave.
Score as follows (each score shows how true or the amount of time you believe that statement is true for you):
0 = not at all true for me
1 = somewhat true or true only part of the time
2 = fairly true or true about half the time
3 = mainly true or true most of the time
4 = true all the time
The possible range of your Self-Esteem Index is from 0 to 100. Sound self-esteem is indicated by an SEI of 95 or more. Good self- esteem is indicated by a score of 90 to 94. Experience shows that any score under 90 is a disadvantage, a score of 75 or less is a serious handicap, and an SEI of 50 or less indicates a really crippling lack of self-esteem. You can raise your self-esteem by working the Barksdale Self-Esteem Program.
