Take the Self-Esteem Test

I often consider myself to be a bit of a failure.

It’s important to me that people like me.

I tend to focus more on my failures than on my successes in the things I do.

On the whole, I prefer to stick to doing things I already know I’m good at rather than attempt new things.

It’s rare for me to praise myself when I achieve things.

When making a decision I like to check what others think about it before proceeding.

I feel uncomfortable when people pay me compliments.

How I feel about myself is more important than what others think of me.

When people challenge my views, I will often agree with them to avoid having an argument.

I’m generally happy about the way I look.

I believe its better to keep your emotions and feelings undercover.

If I don't think I can succeed at something, I’d rather not do it at all.

I feel really uncomfortable when people criticise me.

I will often compare myself to others in order to gauge how well I’m doing.

I rely on the opinion of my work colleagues in order to gauge if I’m doing a good job.

I wish I could change parts of my body.

If I can avoid confrontations, then I will always try to do so.

Overall, I think people would regard me as rather boring.

If I had the chance to live somebody else’s life, I probably would.

Overall, I fall short of my own expectations.
