Our self-esteem test is built on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale—one of the most trusted tools in psychology. Developed by sociologist Morris Rosenberg in the 1960s, the scale includes just 10 simple questions that offer a quick but powerful look at how people see themselves. It's been reviewed by psychology and statistics experts from institutions like Seoul National University and the University of Illinois to ensure it’s both reliable and valid.
The Rosenberg Scale is widely used in therapy, counseling, and academic research around the world.
Why does self-esteem matter? Because low self-esteem is often tied to things like anxiety, depression, and trouble in relationships. For young people, it can also affect emotional health, school performance, and how they fit in socially.
Catching signs of low self-esteem early can make a real difference. That’s why tools like the Rosenberg Scale remain essential in both mental health care and education.

The Beauty We Chase
Ever looked in the mirror and wished you looked just a little better? You're definitely not alone. The desire to feel attractive is something almost all of us share—and today, people of every age and gender spend a lot of time trying to tweak or improve their appearance.
In psychology, self-esteem is all about how much we value and accept ourselves. But ironically, that sense of self is often closely tied to how we think we look. When we’re not happy with our appearance, it can chip away at our confidence and self-worth.
Cosmetic procedures? No longer a rare thing—they’ve gone mainstream. Not long ago, reality shows were giving away free plastic surgery like prizes. For many people, beauty isn’t just a dream—it’s a goal.
But here’s the question: If we change how we look, does it actually make us happier? Can appearance alone unlock a better life?
That’s something worth thinking about.
