Rosenberg Self-Esteem Assessment

How do you feel about yourself? The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is a 10-item measure of global self-worth. Not how you feel about specific talents or achievements — just whether, overall, you feel you're good enough. About 3 minutes. Morris Rosenberg created it in 1965. It's stuck around because it works — no scoring gimmicks, no subscales, just a straightforward self-report that asks whether you feel good enough.
