Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale?
A. It is a 10-item questionnaire created by sociologist Morris Rosenberg in 1965 and still one of the most widely used measures of global self-esteem. Five statements are worded positively and five negatively.
Q. How is the score calculated?
A. Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points. The five negatively worded statements (items 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9) are reverse-scored, so the total ranges from 0 to 30 and a higher score means higher self-esteem.
Q. What counts as low or high self-esteem on this test?
A. This page uses commonly cited reference ranges: 0–14 lower, 15–25 middle, 26–30 higher. The Rosenberg scale has no official cut-off, so treat the range as a rough guide rather than a label.
Q. Is this a psychological diagnosis?
A. No. It is a self-reflection tool for reference, and self-esteem shifts with mood and circumstances. If low self-worth troubles you often, talking with a counselor or therapist can help.
