FO103: Dialogue: Self-Image

FO103: Dialogue: Self-Image

Since I'm about to head to bed, I'm just going to include the results of a few online self-esteem test. I'm doing my best to not taint them to the results I want them to have, but it's tough. Anway, here's my results.

Self Esteem Test
Self-esteem is essential to our ability to function in a healthy way. Without the foundation of a solid sense of self-worth, we are unable to take the risks and make the decisions necessary to lead a fulfilling, productive life. A low self-esteem corrodes our love lives, careers, family bonds, and, most importantly, our internal sense of well-being. A high self-esteem, on the other hand, brings the high level of confidence, problem-solving abilities, and assertiveness needed to achieve what Maslow called "self-actualization"- a continuous desire to fulfill potentials, to be all that you can be. People who have positive self-esteem have healthier, stronger relationships with others. Positive self-esteem is not to be confused with self-centeredness or acting superior, which are actually attempts to hide negative feelings of self. A strong sense of self-worth actually creates a type of self-fulfilling prophecy: the more you like yourself, the more you begin to act in likable ways; the more you believe you are able to achieve something, the more likely it is that you will.

Your score = 73

What does your score mean?

According to this test, you have a reasonably high level of self-esteem. There is, however, still some room for improvement.

Are You Self-Confident?

In our daily lives, it becomes increasingly difficult to decipher our positive attributes, and even more difficult to pinpoint the areas which need attention. This test is designed to help you focus on problem areas in order to correct your self-image and express your true inner self.

Your Self-Esteem Weakness is what restricts your overall self-image and causes self-doubt. Knowing your greatest weakness allows you to notice and actively improve your perspective in that area - therefore increasing your overall self-esteem.

Your Self-Esteem Weakness is:
Rigidity

Utilizing your Self-Esteem Strength allows you to best achieve your goals and live free of self-doubt. Emphasizing your strength can help brighten your mood and may even improve your health.

Your Self-Esteem Strength is:
Shyness

What are the 8 Self-Esteem categories?
1. Procrastination - Is low self-esteem causing you to put off doing things that are most important to you?
2. "Shoulds" - Do you need a relentless moral list to dictate your every move?
3. Rigidity - Do you live in a rut because you are too afraid of failing?
4. Overgeneralization, Global Labels & Polarized Thinking - Does low self-esteem cause you to catastrophize and use the worst labels you can think of?
5. Self-blame and Personalization - Is everything your fault and everyone out to get you?
6. Shyness - Is your fear of being judged by others keeping you from making new friends?
7. Relationships - Is low self-esteem keeping you from having meaningful relationships?
8. Self-acceptance - Does rejection of who you are have you in an adversarial relationship with yourself?

I'm not sure how shyness is a self-esteem strength...maybe someone else can enlighten me on that one! But rigidity makes complete sense and it is something I've been working on for a while now.
