You have scored 71.

What your scoring means

You have excellent self-esteem. You may well have had problems with valuing yourself in the past, but you have become a confident person with a proper appreciation of yourself. You are almost certainly someone who other people like and admire, and your belief in yourself helps you to make good friendships and relationships. However, your inner confidence also enables you to feel happy and relaxed when you are alone.

You have scored 56.

What your scoring means
You have quite good self-esteem on the whole. But you sometimes fail to believe in yourself enough. Remember you are a special and unique person. Many people with your score feel confident in what they do for a living and get a lot of affirmation from that. It's important however, to feel good about who you are, not just about what you do. Have a think about this.

Wow, that's more than I thought I would be. :)

"You have scored 51.

What your scoring means
Many people think you are confident and in charge of your life. You're not so sure! It may be that you had a difficult upbringing with parents who were too demanding of you. Or perhaps you have always felt that you're not as bright as other people think you are. Or maybe you feel unlovable."

Hmm sounds about right I think.

The chances are that you find life very difficult indeed. You may well have a number of failed relationships behind you. Perhaps you've had problems with anger, or jealousy that have caused a split with a partner. You may also have found that your working life has been extremely disappointing.

If you're in a relationship, it's possible that you often feel anxious about it. Sometimes you may worry that you'll 'muck things up'. You may also have serious concerns that your partner may one day decide you're not worth loving.

The chances are that you really don't like yourself much at all. And yet nature has made you utterly unique. You have as much right to be on this planet, and to do as well, as anyone else. You have great personal qualities. But they do need bringing out.

Have a look at the article called 'self-esteem', which is on this website in the Sex and relationships section. There are plenty of tips in there to help you. And if you do a bit of work on improving your self-esteem, you'll find that you have fewer worries and that your life will run more smoothly.

What? Only 13? I was never confident anyway. I like staying quiet all the time, rather never seek attention. But I'm seen as soft, innocent, and gentle. People can read me so easily since I always hide in my turtle shell. In fact, I heard that INFPs are the type most likely to have low self esteem while EXTJs are the least. It's pretty true because it's hardest for INFPs to come out of their shell than any other type. We're just naturally quiet and passive. INFPs don't like to open up and when they do, they look so soft and vulnerable. But INFPs always hide everything and from everything, and we're still seen as vulnerable. Gee, I wish people would appreciate INFPs more. All types are equal and INFPs are the ones who forgive so we just want peace and no violence.

Does this mean you want to change that number? It's fine to be soft and passive and vulnerable at times but why do you only highlight these traits? Your post does, your signature does too. Is that all you want people to know about you? I doubt it. Maybe you should try to develop some strengths. But you have to open your mouth and stand up for yourself.

Agreed. 13 is unhealthy. If it's a mental condition, [MENTION=24978]INFPtheQuietOne[/MENTION] needs to get medication for it. I struggle with depression, so I understand how it and other similar diseases affect people. It's not fun and not healthy.

But still, I tried to deliberately get it out of curiosity, and you have to check every Always box in order to even get close. Here's the description:

You have scored 20.

What your scoring means
The chances are that you find life very difficult indeed. You may well have a number of failed relationships behind you. Perhaps you've had problems with anger, or jealousy that have caused a split with a partner. You may also have found that your working life has been extremely disappointing.
But you can change things. Read the 'self-esteem' article and try the various strategies outlined there – especially the one about listing 50 things and writing these characteristics out on cards, and carrying them with you.
If you do this – and some of the other suggested exercises – you should begin to see yourself in a new light. It will also help you to read the books listed at the end of the article.
You might also want to consider counseling because you would almost certainly benefit from having it. There is a form of therapy called cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which is very helpful for people with low self-esteem. And the good news is that in many areas of the UK, there is good, free provision of CBT on the NHS.
So ask your GP if he or she can refer you for some professional help.
Finally, many people with this kind of score are actually seriously depressed. Do you think this could apply to you? If you think it might, please discuss this with your doctor because treatments and help are available.
