Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES)

What is the RSES?
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is a simple, 10-question tool designed to measure your overall sense of self-worth and self-esteem.

It explores how positively or negatively you view yourself, which can be an important part of understanding your emotional wellbeing.

🧠 What does it measure?
The RSES focuses on:

How you feel about yourself as a person

Whether you believe you’re a person of value

How much self-respect and self-confidence you have

The balance between self-acceptance and self-criticism

It’s used widely in therapy, research, and personal development to explore how someone views themselves on a general level.
