What Do You Do When Your Self-Esteem Shakes?

WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES

WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES

When a small event stays with you, disappointment about an action can blend into a judgment about yourself. Look at the language of self-treatment in everyday answers and distinguish the event from the evaluation attached to it. This does not measure self-esteem or require positive thinking. The focus is on acknowledging something that went poorly without making one scene define the whole person.

• An event is not the whole person
• Words used in self-evaluation
• Describing experience without forced positivity

What this test looks at

The two ends of each dimension are different directions your choices may take in this test—not right and wrong, or better and worse.

• Energy

  Reflects how much physical and mental energy feels available in daily life; it is not a score of your ability.

  Choice range: Low energy ↔ High energy

• Stress Load

  Reflects your recent mental and emotional load; it is not a score of your ability or resilience.

  Choice range: Low load ↔ High load

• Recovery Capacity

  Shows how readily rest and daily rhythms help you regain stability and energy after strain.

  Choice range: Low recovery ↔ Strong recovery

• Support Need

  Shows how helpful outside support may be right now; needing support is not a sign of weakness.

  Choice range: Self-managed ↔ Support needed
