Personal Development Test: self-esteem, self-confidence and emotions

This interactive test covers self-esteem, confidence, autonomy, mood, anger, rumination, perseverance, failure, rest, time, guilt, screens, listening, connections, boundaries, speaking up, the future, projects and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Self-esteem If, when a dish goes wrong, you call yourself names out loud in the kitchen. If, at the end of the week, looking back on the past few days, you feel roughly where you should be. Confidence If, faced with a new task, your first thought is that you are not up to it. If you send in your application, for an apartment, a course or a job, even without checking every box. Autonomy If, before sending a simple letter, you have the people around you check it. If you sign a lease or a contract relying on your own reading of the documents. Mood If, depending on your mood in the morning, your whole day feels decided in advance. If bad news shakes you and you carry on with your day, without it sweeping you away. Anger If, in the heat of anger, you send a message in the evening that you regret when you wake up. If, when anger rises, you go out for a walk for a while and calm down. Rumination If a remark you received a long time ago still comes back to you at night in bed. If, in the middle of an argument, you ask yourself what you will think of it with hindsight. Perseverance If, as soon as a task gets difficult, you drop it without persisting for long. If, after repeated failures at the same task, you get back to it once more. Failure If a failed dish confirms to you that cooking is not for you. If, after a mistake, you write down what you learned and keep it for next time. Rest If, on your days off, you go back to work things “just to check.” If you finish your day's obligations with time left over to cook and see people. Time If the time slot you had reserved for yourself ends up being used for something else. If you set aside an evening for what you enjoy, and stick to it. Guilt If time spent reading in your armchair leaves you feeling like you cheated. If you say no to a request without feeling guilty about it afterward. Screens If, at the end of the week, you fall asleep in front of the TV before the movie ends. If, on your days off, you leave your phone in a drawer for a good part of the day. Listening If you start your sentence before the other person has finished theirs. If, when someone close to you tells you about their day, you put your phone face down and let them finish. Connections If you have been passing the same neighbors for a long time and do not know their first names. If, after a first meeting you enjoyed, you make sure you get back in touch soon. Boundaries If you say yes to a request when what you actually think is no. If you let it be known that some moments of your week are yours, and you keep them. Speaking up If you keep your complaint to yourself rather than risk a tense conversation. If, when the whole table agrees and you think the opposite, you say so before the meal ends. The future If thinking about next year knots your stomach more than it excites you. If, when you think about the year ahead, you look forward to it. Projects If the project you have had in mind for a long time is still waiting for its first step. If an idea running through your head quickly gets a date and a first step. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your daily life. If you want to change the way you function day to day.
