If your score is between 30 and 70, you’ve got a high self-esteem level.
You’re satisfied of the life you’re living and the choices you have done. You have got a very good “image of yourself”; you express to other people your “uniqueness”, accepting the risk to look different.

If your score is between 71 and 110, you’ve got an average self-esteem level.
You have got a good self-esteem level, even though the new situations make you fell ill at ease. You are aware of your strong points and positive features, but you find it difficult to accept your weaknesses. At school/work you are very appreciated for your capacities but you don’t accept with pleasure other people’s advices and proposals.

If your score is between 111 and 160, you’ve got a low self-esteem level.
You often feel to be of no worth, you’re critical with yourself, and often use negative statements to describe yourself. New situations get you frightened, you start thinking that you won’t be able to cope with them and this fills you with concern.

The relationship with your teachers/head clerks is often marked by defiance and rebellion.
