Three times a week I go to the gym, and the other days I stay at home or I go out with my friends.
I can use the computer, I can do house works.. but I can’t cook…
I haven’t got an Italian hero as a model of behaviour nor I have got hero for his beauty (as some football players, some actors or some singers).
..So I don’t have any heroes…

You’re satisfied of the life you’re living and the choices you have done. You have got a very good “image of yourself”; you express to other people your “uniqueness”, accepting the risk to look different. Your job/studies gratify you and this allows you to invest creatively your energies to achieve new goals.
If your score is between 71 and 110, you’ve got an average self-esteem level
You have got a good self-esteem level, even though the new situation make you feel ill at ease. You are aware of your strong points and positive features, but you find it difficult to accept your weaknesses. At school/work you are very appreciated for your capacities but you don’t accept with pleasure other people’s advice and proposals.

New situations get you frightened, you start thinking that you won’t be able to cope with them and this fills you with concern. When studying/working you often lack power of concentration and this prevents you to come to the end of an activity. The relationship with your teachers/head clerks is often marked by defiance and rebellion.

SELF-ESTEEM QUESTIONNAIRE: Some REALLY interesting comments

From Giovanna's students.

by IRENE (class 2m)

My score is 46. I don’t recognize me so much with this score, because I don’t have a high self-esteem level; on the contrary I am not usually confident of my choices or my thoughts. I think I am an important person only for my close friends even if I feel well with other people. Finally at school isn’t all so perfect; this is because sometimes I leave myself go because I don’t take all my responsibilities. I agree only to the fact that I don’t care of having a different look from the other people in come rain or shine.

ERICA 2M
The result of the questionnaire reflects a little as I am, because I am satisfied with my life and the choices I make “ but not always”. I regret of some choices I made. I believe to be “unique” that I have a personality and different ways of doing compared to other people. Regarding the study it goes so so , but anyway I am successful in new goals.

Giorgia 2°A
Comments on Self-Esteem questionnaire.

In the questionnaire some expression emphasise characteristic of my personality. In fact many times I don’t feel to be accept and appreciated, I often feel to be a too shy guy even if I don’t look like that to other people’s eyes. I put my school engagements for others things more funny. In front of some situations I’m blocke and I don’t face them.
When other people are kind with me I become suspicious and I don’t understand what teachers expect from me. When I look at myself in the mirror, I don’t like me, in fact I’d change my look if I could. I often haven’t got very trust in me, and I’ve sometimes suffered because of unexpected frustration.
In my opinion the Self-Esteem is a opinion that people have got of themselves. Many times people think of what the others like and so they change to be accepted.
40 is my result that in my opinion it reflects my personality.
