Processing test results

Count how many you have found real qualities (R).

Count the quantity ideal qualities, written out by you ( AND; qualities written out in the first stage), and then calculate their percentage:

C = (R / I) * 100%.

Levels of self-esteem
Inadequately low	Short	Below average	Average	Above average	High	Inadequately high
Men
0-10	11–34	35-45	46-54	55-63	64-66	67
Women
0-15	16-37	38-46	47-56	57-65	66-68	69

In the column " ideal“Under number (rank) 1, write down the quality from the above that you value most in people, under number 2 - the quality that you value a little less, etc., in descending order of importance. Under number 13, indicate the quality - shortcoming - from the above, which you could most easily forgive people (after all, as you know, there are no ideal people, everyone has shortcomings, but some you can forgive, and some you cannot ), at number 14 is the flaw that is more difficult to forgive, etc., at number 20 is the most disgusting, from your point of view, quality of people.

In the column " I"Under (rank) 1, write down the quality from the above that is most developed for you personally (regardless of whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage), at number 2 - the quality that is slightly less developed for you, etc. in descending order in order, under the last numbers are those qualities that are least developed or absent in you.

Sample form for the test

Processing test results

In column No. 3, the respondent must calculate the difference in rank numbers for each written quality. For example: such a property as “neatness” in the first column (Ideal) is ranked 1st, and in the second (I) – at 7th; d will be equal to 1-7=-6; such a quality as “principledness” ranks 3rd in both the first and second columns. In this case d will be equal to 3-3=0; such a quality as “indifference” is ranked 20th in the first column, and rank 2 in the second. In this case d will be equal to 20-2=18, etc.

Column No. 5 calculates the amount d 2, that is:

Σd 2 = d 1 2 + d 2 2 + d 3 2 + … + d 20 2;

R = 1 – 6Σd 2 /(n 3 – n), Where

n– number of pairs being compared

In the case of n=20, the formula takes the following form:

R = 1 – 0.00075Σd 2

Values R will be within [-1; +1].

Levels of self-esteem
Inadequately low	Short	Below average	Average	Above average	High	Inadequately high
[-1; 0]	(0; 0,2]					(0,8; 1]

Interpretation of test results

Self-esteem can be optimal And suboptimal. With optimal, adequate self-esteem, the subject correctly correlates his capabilities and abilities, is quite critical of himself, strives to realistically look at his failures and successes, tries to set achievable goals that can be achieved in practice. He approaches the assessment of what has been achieved not only with his own standards, but also tries to anticipate how other people will react to it: workmates and loved ones. In other words, adequate self-esteem is the result of a constant search for a real measure, i.e. without too much overestimation, but also without being overly critical of your communication, behavior, activities, experiences. This self-assessment is best for specific conditions and situations.

The optimal level includes self-esteem " high level " And " above average"(a person deservedly values, respects himself, is satisfied with himself), as well as " intermediate level "(a person respects himself, but knows his weaknesses and strives for self-improvement, self-development).

Self-esteem may be suboptimal - too high or too low.

Based on inappropriately high self-esteem a person develops a misconception about himself, an idealized image of his personality and capabilities, his value to others, to the common cause. In such cases man walking to ignore failures in order to maintain the usual high assessment of oneself, one’s actions and deeds. There is an acute emotional “repulsion” of everything that violates the self-image. The perception of reality is distorted, the attitude towards it becomes inadequate - purely emotional. The rational grain of the assessment falls out completely. Therefore, a fair remark begins to be perceived as nit-picking, and an objective assessment of work results as unfairly underestimated. Failure appears as a consequence of someone’s machinations or unfavorable circumstances, which in no way depend on the actions of the individual himself.

Man with inflated inadequate self-esteem does not want to admit that all this is a consequence of one’s own mistakes, laziness, lack of knowledge, abilities or incorrect behavior. A severe emotional state arises – the affect of inadequacy, the main reason for which is the persistence of the existing stereotype of overestimating one’s personality. If high self-esteem is plastic, changes in accordance with the real state of affairs - increases with success and decreases with failure, then this can contribute to the development of the individual, since she has to make every effort to achieve her goals, develop her abilities and will.

Self-esteem may be low, i.e. below the real capabilities of the individual. This usually leads to self-doubt, timidity and lack of daring, and the inability to realize one’s abilities. Such people do not set themselves difficult to achieve goals, limit themselves to solving ordinary problems, and are too critical of themselves.

Too high or too low self-esteem disrupts the process of self-government and distorts self-control. This is especially noticeable in communication, where people with high and low self-esteem cause conflicts. At inflated self-esteem conflicts arise due to disdainful attitude towards other people and disrespectful treatment of them, too harsh and unfounded statements addressed to them, intolerance to other people's opinions, manifestation of arrogance and conceit. Low self-criticism prevents them from even noticing how they insult others with arrogance and indisputable judgment.

At low self-esteem conflicts may arise due to the excessive criticality of these people. They are very demanding of themselves and even more demanding of others, do not forgive a single mistake or mistake, and tend to constantly emphasize the shortcomings of others. And although this is done with the best intentions, it still becomes a cause of conflict due to the fact that few can tolerate systematic “sawing.” When they see only the bad in you and constantly point it out, then hostility arises towards the source of such assessments, thoughts and actions.

Affect of inadequacy arises as an attempt by people with high self-esteem to protect themselves from real circumstances and maintain their usual self-esteem. This leads to disruption of relationships with other people. Experiencing resentment and injustice allows you to feel good, remain at the proper level in your own eyes, and consider yourself injured or offended. This elevates a person in his own eyes and eliminates dissatisfaction with himself. The need for inflated self-esteem is satisfied and there is no need to change it, that is, to come to grips with management itself. Conflicts inevitably arise with people who have different ideas about a given individual, his abilities, capabilities and value to society. The affect of inadequacy is psychological protection , it is a temporary measure because it does not solve the main problem, namely, a fundamental change in suboptimal self-esteem, which is the cause of unfavorable interpersonal relationships.

These techniques allow us to solve several more research and practical problems. Here are some of them:

I. There are several forms of human activity: communication, behavior, activity, experiences. A person can also be considered as a subject of self-government. Since the simultaneous implementation of all these forms of activity is difficult, the individual shows interest in one or two areas of his life. Indeed, everyone has observed people who live “in the world of people,” “in a closed world,” “in the world of affairs,” and “in the world of feelings.” It would be natural to assume that when performing the technique, people choose more qualities in the area that interests them more. This allows find out what area their interests and preferences lie in. For this purpose, you need to calculate how many “ideal” qualities were written down for each of the four blocks and compare the resulting numbers with each other. The leading level will be the level of human activity where the most “ideal” and “real” qualities are collected, as well as their percentage.

II. Can be obtained an idea of the value orientations of a group different from others in age, gender, profession; To do this, you need to calculate how many people chose this or that quality and with what rank of significance. If this number is converted into a percentage, then an interesting opportunity opens up to compare groups with each other in terms of preference for personality traits and the degree of importance of individual properties for it. Ranking these properties according to the number of people who chose this property shows what place it belongs in the holistic system of ideas about personality.

III. Can be obtained an idea of how each specific person differs from other people in terms of their value guidelines. To do this, you need to create an average “portrait” of the value orientations of the group to which you belong. Then we need a qualitative analysis of the qualities he has chosen and those personality traits that are most often found in the group as a whole. Thus, against the background of group preferences, it is possible to identify individual characteristics.

Results

From 0 to 50 points:
You clearly have inflated self-esteem. It is very difficult for people to communicate with you - you are fenced off from the rest of the world by a wall of impenetrable complacency. Your credo is “I’m always right.” Once you have made your point, any disagreement is considered a declaration of war. The word “self-criticism” doesn’t tell you anything. You have already achieved most of the goals you set and are not going to go further. In addition, over your life you have learned to masterfully manipulate people. Of course, the test result will cause you complete disagreement and you will long bother your friends with lectures about the complete failure of popular psychology. Well, we don’t dare to argue with you, you, as always, know better. Life is about development and moving forward, but you prefer to stand still.

From 60 to 150 points:
In principle, you have high self-esteem, and in many ways it has very real grounds. However, you overestimate some things about yourself, and, on the contrary, you unfairly underestimate others. For some reason you failed to realize your abilities, reveal your creativity. Hence the constant state of dissatisfaction with the world around you and people’s attitude towards you. Your disappointment in life can be explained quite simply - you place much higher demands on others than on yourself, and in general, you take more than you give. Try to stop asking people to constantly admire your uniqueness and show interest in them so that your life becomes more enjoyable.

From 160 to 250 points:
You are quite objective in assessing your abilities and capabilities and at the same time love yourself. Such self-esteem is the best option. You live in complete harmony with yourself and do not suffer from self-doubt. Probably, this is, first of all, the secret of your ability to find a way out of the most dead-end situations, no matter what they are connected with - from relationships with other people to personal problems. Since you do not go to extremes and are not prone to narcissism and complacency, people communicate with you with pleasure, rejoicing in meeting you.

From 260 to 350 points:
The results indicate low self-esteem. You are clearly being unfair to yourself. Who told you that you are worthless? Why believe so blindly in anyone? Yes, you are not the best strong personality in this world, but who told you that the only important things in people are an iron grip and the ability to insist on one’s own at any cost? There are also kindness and mercy. Your modesty is a virtue, not a flaw. But still, try to get rid of most of it, don’t let people unworthy of you sit on your neck and ride. Don't be shy about expressing your disagreement and don't be unnecessarily afraid.

Over 360 points:
This is already a clinical case and cannot be done without the help of a specialist. Such worthless and no one the right people the way you imagine yourself simply does not exist in the world. Until you learn to love and appreciate yourself, life will be very difficult for you. Those around you treat you exactly the same as you do, and it is very difficult to blame them for anything. Indeed, who else but you can be the best specialist in your own soul. And since you are so disgusted with yourself, the attitude of others towards you is quite understandable.

What kind of self-esteem do you have: low, adequate or high? To find out for sure, it’s enough to answer a few questions on an online test and determine your true attitude towards yourself.

What role does self-esteem play in your life?

Self-esteem is how highly a person evaluates his qualities and abilities

Its interesting feature is that people around them subconsciously feel the level of conceit of another person and treat him the same way, which is how he perceives himself.

This concept has another interesting definition:

Self-esteem is something you settle for.

That is, if you dream of a salary of ten thousand dollars, this is just a fantasy. But the cost of your work at the moment, which your employer or clients pay you, is your real opinion of yourself.

It depends on:

How confident are you in achieving your goal?
how people around you treat you;
how much you get paid at work, and a lot of other aspects.

Sometimes a person himself does not suspect how low his assessment of himself is until he begins to analyze it. The easiest way to do this is to take an online psychological test and get an outside opinion.

How to take a self-esteem test

To complete the task:

Spend 5 – 10 minutes of time.
Answer questions as honestly as possible, without trying to sound better than you really are. The only person you can deceive in this situation is yourself.
Don't think too long, trust your first opinion. More often than not, this is the correct one.

Start taking an online psychological test right now and make sure you have a correct idea of your self-esteem.

Processing the results : The number of agreements (“yes”) under odd numbers is counted, then the number of agreements with provisions under even numbers. The second result is subtracted from the first result. The final result can be in the range from -10 to +10.

A score from -10 to -4 indicates low self-esteem.

A result from -3 to +3 indicates average self-esteem.

A result from +4 to +10 indicates high self-esteem.

Self-esteem test (Modification by L.P. Ponomarenko)

Instructions to subjects . It is known that personal qualities, inherent in humans, are located on a continuum consisting of polar characteristics. The form (Fig. 25) presents 15 character traits that have two polar poles. Sequentially, for each pair, determine how this property manifests itself in you. In the middle of the form there are columns numbered from 1 to 7. (If there are no forms, you can work on pieces of paper, having previously drawn them like the plate presented below.)

Using the first pair as an example, we will analyze how to work with the technique. If you select column number 1, it means you are 100% kind person(you don’t have even 1% of anger). If you consider yourself 100% an evil person, then you must select column No. 7. Column No. 4 means the middle position (i.e., you have 50% “kindness” and 50% “anger”). Column #3 - You are more of a kind person than an evil person (about 65% kindness and 35% anger). Column No. 2 - approximately 80% of you have the characteristic indicated on the right, and 20% - the one on the left. Selecting Column 5 accordingly means that you have a little more of the quality represented on the left (in this case, about 65% “anger” and 35% “kindness”). Column No. 6 - approximately 80% of you have the characteristic indicated on the left, and 20% - the one on the right. So, you guessed it, the closer the column is to the right or left side property pairs, the more pronounced this pole is and, accordingly, the less pronounced the second one.



	Communicative								Closed
	Confident								Unsure of himself
	Irritable								Calm
	Unfrank								Frank
	Indecisive								Decisive
	Understanding others								Not understanding others

	Cute								Unsympathetic
	Needing support from others								Self-sufficient
	Impulsive								Balanced
	Submissive								Dominant

	Active								Passive
	Purposeful								Messy

Ha I stage work for each pair, you choose a column number corresponding to how each of the properties manifests itself in you at the present period of your life (“Real Self”). Mark your choice with a cross (“x”) in the appropriate box.

After all participants have completed this task, you can begin II stage work. Now you need to return again to the first pair of polar characteristics and evaluate how you would like this property to be developed in you, i.e. what you would like to be. For example, you rated yourself as a 100% kind person (a cross under column No. 1), but in life this often gets in the way and you would like “anger” and “kindness” to be equally represented in you. In this case, at stage II, you select the position of column No. 4 and indicate your choice with a circle. It may happen that you are satisfied with the situation as it is - in this case, simply circle the cross placed at stage I. After you have looked through all 15 pairs again and for each of them you have marked with a circle the position that corresponds to your “ideal self,” we proceed to stage III of work.

Processing results. For each pair of polar properties, calculate the difference in the positions of the “real self” and the “ideal self.” To do this, calculate the absolute difference (without taking into account the sign) between the number of the column where the cross is and the number where you put the circle. For example, according to the first pair, you rated yourself as a person who is 80% kind (a cross in column No. 2), but would like the “kindness” and “anger” to be 50x50 (circle in column No. 4). In this case, the difference will be 4-2 = 2. Write this number next to the first pair. If the cross is in the column with No. 7, and the circle is under No. 6, the difference is 7-6 = 1. If the position of the cross and the circle is the same, the difference will be 0. This figure should also be written down next to the corresponding pair.

The final stage of the work consists of summing up all 15 numbers, representing the difference between the positions of the “real self” and the “ideal self.” The resulting amount is compared with the key.

Interpretation

A figure greater than 25 indicates low self-esteem its owner. Low self-esteem is characteristic of people who tend to doubt themselves, take comments and dissatisfaction of other people personally, worry and worry about insignificant reasons, and the experiences can be deep and long-lasting. Such people are often unsure of themselves, they find it difficult to make decisions, and the need to insist on their own. Comparing themselves with others, they come to disappointing conclusions, do not like to accept compliments, and see more shortcomings in themselves than advantages.

Typically, such people subtly feel the experiences of others, are vulnerable, impressionable, “thin-skinned.” Often (if low self-esteem is not associated with a hypercompensatory desire to demonstrate their own importance to everyone), they care more about the convenience of others than about their own benefit, and can sacrifice their interests for the sake of another person. It happens that others take advantage of this. It must be said that others feel good with such people, but they themselves often suffer.

In some cases, low self-esteem leads to a desire to assert oneself at the expense of others, a painful tendency to see the desire to hurt or offend behind the actions of other people. Sometimes unmotivated aggressiveness and outbursts of anger may appear.

Most likely, the origins of low self-esteem should be sought in the style of upbringing in the family. Perhaps your parents (or one of them) were too strict or critical, or often compared you to others, or had high expectations for your achievements. This cannot be changed, and the path to maturity lies through awareness and elaboration of one’s childhood “complexes.”

If you score above 25, you should reconsider how you feel about yourself. “Love yourself!” - this is the main task for you. Get rid of negative thoughts, praise yourself more often, benefit even from failures!

A number from 10 to 25 indicates adequate self-esteem. Such people soberly evaluate themselves, see both advantages and disadvantages in themselves, and are able to react to circumstances. By taking into account signals from the outside, they can change and improve themselves. They perceive both failures and victories adequately, draw conclusions, learn from mistakes and are ready to accept new things.

A score of less than 10 points can be interpreted in different ways. Sometimes this indicates a hidden reluctance to participate in testing or formal completion of the task. A low score may indicate a defensive reaction, as well as a demonstrated high self-esteem (“I’m fine, leave me alone”) or indicate a negative attitude towards testing and a reluctance to be frank. This score is also scored by people who are not prone to introspection and reflection, who do not like to look inside themselves.

If a person answered sincerely and really believes that his “real self” is almost no different from the “ideal self,” we can talk about inflated self-esteem, i.e. Such people are confident in their own infallibility, and then it is quite difficult to interact with them, since they are not ready to “hear” others, to perceive signals from the outside that require some changes in their behavior.

Checking self-esteem in schoolchildren. Tests

Afanasyeva Rimma Akhatovna, social studies teacher MCOU "Unyugan Secondary School No. 1", Unyugan village, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra
Description: I bring to your attention four tests to determine the level of self-esteem of students with keys for processing. The teacher gives the processing key to the students after they mark the answers to the questions in the test and calculate the number of points. Processing of test results can be written on the board or on a presentation slide, if it is provided for the lesson.
Purpose: The tests are intended primarily for social studies teachers, and will also be of interest class teachers, psychologists, sociologists, parents and children.
Relevance: The relevance of these tests is due to the fact that most teachers and parents do not pay due attention to certain aspects and characteristics of personality. One of these factors is self-esteem. The dynamics of self-esteem will help not only improve your results in the learning process, but also strengthen your position in society. Social factors such as relationships with others, criticality, self-demandingness, and attitude to successes and failures depend on self-esteem. Self-esteem influences the further development of personality and the effective functioning of a person. Incorrect self-evaluation occurs due to discrepancies in a person’s capabilities. Often this is the main reason for inappropriate behavior (emotional breakdowns, increased anxiety, etc.). The objective expression of self-esteem is manifested in how a person evaluates the skills and achievements of others (having inflated self-esteem, a person begins to underestimate the results of others). In our time, improving the quality of learning and knowledge acquisition continues to remain relevant. In order to identify the reasons for student failure, it is necessary to take into account personal characteristics student. Undoubtedly, self-esteem has the greatest influence on the success of learning at any school age.
Target: identify the dynamics of self-esteem in the process of learning and the formation of a teenager’s personality.
Tasks: select methods for studying schoolchildren’s self-esteem; interpret the data obtained, conduct an analysis; formulate conclusions based on the test results obtained.
Preparation and material: The teacher prepares a test to check the self-esteem of schoolchildren, thinks through the processing of the results and how he will provide the children with a key for the test result.
