WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Personality Self-Esteem Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

harmony

self-esteem

This self-report measure is designed to assess perceived self-esteem and related self-evaluative attitudes. The Personality Self-Esteem Scale provides a brief snapshot of how individuals view their personal strengths and limitations in everyday functioning.

The instrument includes 24 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Item content is intended to sample both global self-regard and more specific self-appraisals that may inform clinical formulation, treatment planning, or outcome monitoring. The Personality Self-Esteem Scale is commonly referenced in relation to foundational work by M. Rosenberg.
