Self-Esteem Assessment
A detailed private Backing U self-assessment designed to help you reflect on self-worth, self-respect, confidence and the ability to hold a balanced view of personal strengths and limitations. It looks across a basic sense of personal worth, ability to recognise strengths without dismissing them, self-respect after mistakes or criticism, confidence expressing needs and opinions and ability to separate performance from overall worth. The assessment contains 20 questions and is intended to give you a structured wellbeing snapshot, highlight the areas having the greatest effect, and provide practical recommendations for what to do next. It is not designed to diagnose a condition or replace an individual professional assessment.
The Self-Esteem Assessment is a Backing U educational wellbeing and self-reflection tool. It is not a validated diagnostic instrument, does not provide a clinical diagnosis and does not replace individual assessment or advice from a qualified professional. Scores are influenced by how questions are understood and by the timeframe selected. If several items are marked N/A, the total may be lower and should be interpreted cautiously; individual responses may be more informative than the total score. If difficulties are severe, rapidly worsening, affecting basic functioning or creating safety concerns, seek appropriate professional or urgent support. External resources are provided for further reading and support only. They are operated by independent Australian or UK organisations and their inclusion does not imply endorsement of this Backing U tool.
