Complete the Self Value Test
Rate each statement from 1 to 5. Higher adjusted scores indicate stronger self-value. Some statements are reverse scored to reduce response bias.
Example Data Table
| Question Group | Sample Raw Average | Reverse Scored Items | Adjusted Average | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self-Talk | 3.0 | 1 | 3.5 | Mixed internal dialogue |
| Boundaries | 2.5 | 1 | 3.0 | Boundary practice needed |
| Resilience | 4.0 | 1 | 4.0 | Good recovery pattern |
| Overall Test | 3.25 | 6 | 3.67 | Healthy but uneven |
Formula Used
This calculator uses a Likert scoring model with reverse coding for negatively framed statements. Direct items keep the selected value. Reverse items are converted using:
Adjusted Score = 6 − Raw Score
The total adjusted score is the sum of all adjusted item scores. The percentage score uses:
Self Value % = (Total Adjusted Score ÷ Maximum Possible Score) × 100
Domain percentages use the domain average divided by 5, then multiplied by 100. Classification bands are:
- 80% to 100%: Strong self value
- 60% to 79.99%: Healthy but uneven
- 40% to 59.99%: Needs attention
- Below 40%: Low self value pattern
How to Use This Calculator
- Read each statement honestly and choose one rating from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
- Complete every item so the tool can score all domains correctly.
- Submit the form to display your result above the questionnaire.
- Review the total score, domain breakdown, growth area, and scored response table.
- Download the result as CSV for records or PDF for sharing with a coach, counselor, or journal.
- Repeat the test later to compare patterns after habit, therapy, or boundary changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does this self value test measure?
It estimates patterns related to self-worth, self-talk, boundaries, approval dependence, resilience, and value-driven decision-making. It is best used for reflection rather than diagnosis.
2. Is this a clinical mental health diagnosis?
No. It is a structured self-reflection calculator, not a licensed assessment. If symptoms are severe or persistent, consult a qualified mental health professional.
3. Why are some questions reverse scored?
Reverse scoring corrects negatively worded items so all adjusted scores point in the same direction. That makes the final percentage easier to compare and interpret.
4. How often should I retake the test?
You can retake it monthly, after therapy milestones, or after specific habit changes. Repeated results are more useful when the same conditions are used each time.
5. What score is considered healthy?
Scores above 60% suggest a healthier base, though patterns may still vary by domain. Scores above 80% usually show stronger consistency across self-value areas.
6. Can I use this for coaching or journaling?
Yes. The domain breakdown and scored response table can support journaling, coaching discussions, habit tracking, or personal development reviews over time.
7. Why might my score change quickly?
Self-value can shift with stress, conflict, burnout, support, therapy progress, or recent success and failure. Context matters when comparing repeated test results.
8. What should I do if my score is low?
Start with supportive self-talk, small boundary practice, realistic goal tracking, and trusted social support. Seek professional care if distress feels intense or unsafe.
