1strongly disagree, 5strongly agree I feel that
I am a person of worth, at least on an equal
basis with others.   I feel that I have a number
of good qualities.   All in all, I am inclined to
feel that I am a failure.   I am able to do
things as well as most other people.   I feel
that I do not have much to be proud of.   I take
a positive attitude toward myself.   On the
whole, I am satisfied with myself.   I wish I
could have more respect for myself.   I certainly
feel useless at times.   At times I think that I
am no good at all.
