About the self-esteem test

The most studied measure of self-esteem, used by researchers and clinicians since 1965.

What the test shows

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is ten statements about how a person relates to themselves. Sociologist Morris Rosenberg put it together in 1965, and since then it has been tested more than any other measure in the field: translated into dozens of languages and used in hundreds of studies. Half the statements are about accepting yourself, half about self-criticism; together they show how you see yourself overall.

It’s not a diagnosis, but a guide: the test shows what your attitude toward yourself rests on and whether it’s worth working on.

What the test measures

  • Side 1

    Self-acceptance

    A sense of your own worth: you see good qualities in yourself, recognize what you’re capable of, and are broadly content with who you are.

  • Side 2

    Self-criticism

    The other side: feeling useless, feeling there’s nothing to be proud of, and wishing you respected yourself more than you do.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from other self-esteem tests online?

It’s built on the Rosenberg scale: written in 1965, translated into dozens of languages, and tested in hundreds of studies. Our translation is checked against the 1965 original and against the validated Russian version.

Can this result be used as a diagnosis?

No. Self-esteem isn’t an illness or a diagnosis — it’s how you relate to yourself. The test shows where you are right now and helps you decide whether it’s worth working on. If the result upset you, start with a free session with an AI therapist or see a psychotherapist.

How long does the test take, and do I need to sign up?

Ten statements, about two minutes. No registration, email, or payment required — the test is free and anonymous, and you see your result right after finishing.

Can self-esteem be improved?

Yes. Self-esteem isn’t handed to you once and for all — it’s a skill you can build. It’s usually less about convincing yourself you’re exceptional and more about working out where that harsh inner critic came from and learning to treat yourself better. That’s exactly what therapy is for.
