Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) Test - Symptoms and Signs
Self-evaluation reflects multiple personal standards and life domains that can influence perceived self-worth. The Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) is a self-report measure intended to assess broad, trait-like self-evaluative beliefs.
It consists of 35 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Responses provide a concise profile of the respondent’s overall self-appraisal that may help inform case formulation and guide discussion of self-perception in clinical or counseling contexts.
The Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) is generally used as an adjunct to clinical interview and other assessment data rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument, and results should be interpreted in light of the individual’s presenting concerns and cultural context.
