What is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is the way you evaluate your own worth. It can shape how you interpret feedback, handle setbacks, and show up in relationships—especially under stress.
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is a well-known questionnaire created in 1965 and used in research for decades. This test adapts that scale into a simple, quick online format.
Your score is best read as a snapshot, not a label. Use it to notice patterns, track change over time, and choose one small next step that supports you.
