Formula used
Use this for direct-scored statements.
Use this for reverse-scored statements.
The calculator uses ten statements scored from 1 to 4. Higher adjusted totals suggest stronger self-worth patterns. Because several items reflect self-criticism, they are reverse scored before the total is created.

Frequently asked questions
1) What does this calculator measure?
It summarizes how your answers reflect self-respect, self-acceptance, and resilience against harsh self-criticism. It supports reflection, not diagnosis.
2) Is a higher score always better?
Usually, yes. Higher scores suggest steadier self-worth. Still, context matters because stress, grief, burnout, or conflict can temporarily lower how people respond.
3) Why are some statements reverse scored?
Reverse scoring prevents self-critical items from inflating the total in the wrong direction. It keeps all adjusted scores aligned so higher totals consistently mean healthier self-worth patterns.
4) Can I use this tool every week?
Yes. Weekly or biweekly tracking can reveal whether confidence improves, stays steady, or drops during demanding periods. Repeated use works best when you compare scores honestly over time.
5) What target score should I enter?
Choose a realistic target such as two to four points above your previous score. Smaller improvements are easier to sustain and often reflect meaningful progress.
6) Can this replace therapy or counseling?
No. It is a reflection and tracking tool. A qualified professional is better suited for diagnosis, treatment planning, and support around persistent emotional distress.
7) Why should I export my results?
Exports make it easier to review patterns later, share progress with a coach or therapist, or keep private records for wellness journaling and goal tracking.
8) What should I do if my score is very low?
Treat the result as a signal to seek support, reduce harsh self-talk, and review stressors. If you feel unsafe or fear self-harm, contact emergency or crisis support right away.
