Confidence / Self-Esteem Test description

Self esteem describes a person’s overall sense of personal worth. Self esteem tends to increase throughout one’s life, reaching a low point during adolescence.

High self esteem can lead to better health and behavior, but having too much self esteem can lead to narcissism.

Low self esteem is associated with a broad range of problems such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
