During this quiz you will be asked to respond to various questions and it is crucial you are honest with yourself and not answer them how you feel you ‘should’.  It is simple to take, and to answer all 50 questions will only use up 5-10 minutes of your time.

Although we are in the 21st century and much has been written about boundaries, co–dependency, so few people actually value themselves and stand up for themselves and/ or ask for what they want professionally or personally due to lack of self –confidence, low self–esteem and lack of self-assurance. This quiz will help you gain clarity around your confidence and esteem levels. I have developed it from  existing psychological surveys and critical questions many clients have asked me over the years.

Please get real here. It is not about you feeling shame; it is about discovering a heightened self -awareness to empower yourself.

Please select the statements that apply to you, regardless of the frequency (sometimes or often).
