About this test
This test uses the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), first published in 1965 and the most widely-cited measure of global self-esteem in psychology. Ten statements, a 4-point scale, and one of four reflective archetypes. Self-esteem shifts over time — this is a snapshot, not a label.
Methodology
Items are the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), a 10-item self-report measure introduced by Rosenberg (1965). Responses use a 4-point Likert scale; items 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 are reverse-scored; total range is 10–40. Four bands (<15, 15–25, 26–32, 33–40) map to four archetypes. Reference: Rosenberg, M. (1965). Society and the adolescent self-image. Princeton University Press. The scale is public domain.
Possible archetypes
- Rebuilding · Soft launch era
- You're in a soft-launch era with yourself. Be patient — the rebuild is the move.
- Steadying · Work-in-progress
- Some days you're that girl, some days you're hiding under the duvet. Normal.
- Grounded · Unbothered, lotioned
- You like yourself without needing to post about it. Quietly that girl.
- Radiant · Healthy main-char
- You like yourself and somehow nobody is mad about it. Rare. Beautiful.

FAQ + disclaimer
Is this the real Rosenberg Scale?
Yes — the 10 items are the original Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES, 1965), which is in the public domain and the most widely-cited measure of global self-esteem.
How long does it take?
About three minutes. Ten 4-point Likert statements.
Is low self-esteem the same as depression?
No. They can overlap, but they are different. Persistent low mood, hopelessness, or thoughts of harming yourself are reasons to speak to a qualified mental-health professional.
