About This Assessment
Academic Interest and Self-Esteem Test

Learning Interest and Academic Self-Esteem Test - Symptoms and Signs

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen students’ learning-related interest and perceived academic competence across common school subjects. Learning Interest and Academic Self-Esteem can be administered in group or individual settings and is typically appropriate for use in educational or school-based psychological contexts (Morris Rosenberg).

The instrument includes 24 items and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture the student’s interest in learning and confidence in academic performance, supporting identification of areas where motivation or self-evaluation may be comparatively low.

Results from Learning Interest and Academic Self-Esteem may be used to inform educational planning, guide targeted supports, and monitor change over time (e.g., following instructional interventions), alongside other clinical, educational, and contextual information.
