Questions to include on your Self-esteem assessment form

1. Personal Information

This section helps in gathering the basic information about the individual taking the assessment.

  • What is your name?
  • What is your age?
  • What is your gender? (Male, Female, Non-binary, Prefer not to say)

These questions are designed to get a general understanding of the individual's self-esteem.

  • How often do you feel confident in your abilities? (Always, Most of the time, Sometimes, Rarely, Never)
  • Do you feel valued and appreciated? (Always, Most of the time, Sometimes, Rarely, Never)
  • How often do you compare yourself with others? (Always, Most of the time, Sometimes, Rarely, Never)

Understanding the frequency of self-comparison is crucial as it can often contribute to low self-esteem if it becomes a regular habit.

3. Experience in Social Settings

These questions aim to understand the individual's self-esteem in social contexts, which is often where self-esteem issues can manifest most prominently.

  • How comfortable do you feel in social situations? (Very comfortable, Comfortable, Neutral, Uncomfortable, Very uncomfortable)
  • How easy do you find it to express your opinions when you disagree with others? (Very easy, Easy, Neither easy nor difficult, Difficult, Very difficult)

Understanding the comfort level in social situations can help in identifying social anxiety issues, which are often linked with low self-esteem.

4. Personal Achievement and Failure

These questions help to understand how the individual perceives their achievements and failures, which can significantly impact self-esteem.

  • How do you usually react when you experience a failure?
  • When you achieve something, do you feel proud of yourself? (Always, Most of the time, Sometimes, Rarely, Never)

The perception of failure and the ability to take pride in achievements are key determinants of self-esteem. Thus, these questions are vital in assessing the individual's self-esteem.

5. Body Image

Body image can have a significant impact on self-esteem, thus these questions aim to understand the individual's perception of their physical self.

  • Are you satisfied with your physical appearance? (Yes, No)
  • If no, what aspects of your physical appearance are you unhappy with?

The body image questions are important as dissatisfaction with physical appearance can significantly lower self-esteem.

Things to consider

  1. Privacy and Confidentiality - This form involves sharing personal information and feelings, which some people might be uncomfortable with. Make sure to inform users upfront about how their information will be used and stored, and ensure that your form complies with all relevant privacy laws and regulations.
  2. User-friendliness - To make the form easy to fill out, keep the instructions clear and concise, use simple language, and ensure that the form is visually appealing. You should also consider making the form responsive, so it's easy to fill out on any device.
  3. Validation and Error Messages - Use HTML5 form validation to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly. If a user makes a mistake or misses a field, provide clear, helpful error messages to guide them to correct the error.
  4. Scoring System - Given that this is an assessment form, consider implementing a scoring system. This will help quantify the responses and make it easier to understand the level of self-esteem of the person.
  5. Optional Comment Sections - Since some questions might require more detail, consider adding optional comment sections to allow users to elaborate on their answers.
  6. Providing Support - If a user's responses indicate low self-esteem, it's important to provide resources for professional help or support. This might include links to mental health services or a message advising the user to seek professional help.
  7. Proper Flow and Grouping - Questions should be logically grouped and follow a coherent flow. This will help users respond more accurately and make the form more efficient to complete.
