Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE)

A 10-item global self-esteem questionnaire. Survey Doctor uses a common 1-to-4 Likert adaptation with totals from 10 to 40, not Rosenberg's original Guttman scoring method. Read more.

Please record the appropriate answer for each item, depending on whether you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with it.

Free, no account needed. Your score appears when you finish.
