Self-Confidence Test: measure your confidence across life contexts

This interactive test covers confidence, speaking up, speech, failure, rumination, how others look at you, autonomy, boldness, curiosity, self-esteem, decisions, change and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Confidence If, when you speak in front of a full room, your hands stay calm and move freely. If, when you speak up in front of a group, you keep your shoulders open and your voice steady to the end. Speaking up If, when someone cuts you off in a discussion, you pick up where you left off. If, when the whole table agrees and you think the opposite, you say so out loud. Speech If, when you sense that what you're about to say will cause an awkward silence, you still say it all the way through, tactfully. If, in a group conversation, you ask for someone to explain a word that everyone is using. Failure If you try your luck at what appeals to you, even when you can picture being turned down. If, after a string of rejections, you try your luck again without letting your momentum drop. Rumination If, after a rejection, you fall asleep at night without replaying the scene in your head. If, after making a big decision, your mind quickly moves on, without replaying the scene. How others look at you If, when you fail a first attempt in front of other people, you keep your attention on the task rather than on who is watching. If, when you are congratulated on something you did, you say thank you without adding that it was easy. Autonomy If, before accepting an offer, you rely on your own judgment, without polling everyone around you. If you sign a lease or a contract relying on your own reading of the documents. Boldness If you go to a talk, a workshop or a party, even with no one to come along with you. If, at a party where you don't know anyone, you walk in and go up to people. Curiosity If you try a different restaurant, route or activity for the pleasure of discovering something new. If, for your vacation, you choose a destination you know nothing about. Self-esteem If a failed project in one area leaves your confidence in the other areas of your life intact. If, the day after a failure, you hold the same opinion of yourself as the day before. Decisions If, when a quote or a reply is waiting for you, you make up your mind within the next few days. If, with only half the quotes in, you pick the contractor and go ahead with the job. Change If a big change announced in your daily life sparks your curiosity more than it keeps you awake. If, faced with a difficulty that has you stuck, you ask for help quickly, without seeing it as an admission of weakness. 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.
