Self-esteem test for teenagers

The views and thinking of young men and women in adolescence undergo serious changes. This concerns various aspects - now young people pay increased attention to their appearance, seek to expand and change their social circle, begin to follow fashion trends and listen to the opinion of those whom they consider to be their idols.

In particular, high school students begin to take a critical attitude towards their personality. They note everything, even the most insignificant shortcomings, and highlight the advantages and advantages that seem important and valuable to them. Due to age characteristics, adolescents can not always adequately assess their personality and draw the right conclusions.

If a child begins to overestimate himself, this very often leads to rude and unceremonious behavior, which often causes conflicts with others. A teenager with low self-esteem, on the contrary, in most cases closes in himself, becomes uncertain and uninformative, which negatively affects the level of his development.

That is why it is important for parents and educators to control the self-esteem of young men and women who are in transition, and, if necessary, take psychological measures. Often, the level of self-esteem of a teenager's personality is determined using the test of RV. Ovcharova, which you will learn about in our article.

The latter should be chosen only in extreme cases. For each positive answer the subject is awarded 2 points, and for the answer "it is difficult to say" - 1 point. In the event of the denial of any of the statements, the child does not receive a single point for it.
