INTERPRETATION OF THE SELF-TEST

On each column add the checkmarks and multiply by the number above that column.  For example, you multiply ten checkmarks on the first column by 4 and that equals 40.  Write down that amount on the space provided at the bottom of the column.  Then add up the amounts of the four columns and write down that total.  Examine, then, the interpretation of the results according to the following scale:
 

160-104	High self-esteem (negative)
103-84	High self-esteem (positive)
83-74	Low self-esteem (positive)
73-40	Low self-esteem (negative)

Taken from the book on values and self-help Nuevos Surcos (1994), written by the author of this test.  This test was published in the Internet on July 1997 in its original version in Spanish.  Revised on September 2003.  Version for the Internet revised on March 2004.
