Self-evaluation of personality in psychology
In psychology, the self-esteem of each individual includes the ability to more or less objectively assess the own capabilities and forces, to be critical of oneself.
Personal self-esteem can be either adequate or inadequate. All this depends on the nature of the person, which, in turn, affects the formation of certain qualities.
Studying self-esteem of the person has shown, that the correct self-estimation basically is inherent in adult people. Ability to flexibly assess their abilities, adjust, if necessary, the style of behavior under the influence of experience, is a necessary quality, helping in the rapid adaptation to living conditions.
Evaluation and self-evaluation of the person depends also on the approval, respectful attitude of the people surrounding people. On this basis, respect for oneself arises, which is one of the most important personal needs.
Self-esteem and self-awareness
In human mental activity, self-consciousness is nothing more than a complex process of knowing oneself. As a result of active interaction with the outside world, everyone knows himself. This process never ends. Self-knowledge develops in parallel with the development of self-esteem.
Through the knowledge of his own "I", the individual is able to maintain the consistency of personal behavior, while being responsible for the preservation of social values that they have learned. Self-esteem is the mainstay of self-knowledge at all stages of its existence.
To determine the level of self-esteem of an individual, there is a specially developed one, the diagnosis of a self-assessment of a person carried out with the help of test tasks placed in various psychological reference books.
The method of self-evaluation of personality Budassi
The method of self-evaluation of personality Budassi is one of the most common methods by which one can conduct a quantitative study of personal self-esteem, that is, measure it.
This technique is based, primarily on the ranking method. You will be offered a list consisting of 48 words, which indicate personal properties. You need to choose only twenty such qualities, which most characterize your idea of an ideal personality ("reference personality"). In the list there will be both positive and negative qualities.
Further, the self-evaluation method of personality offers you a "Study protocol" in the first column, which in the first positions must have the most important properties for you, and in the latter, therefore, negative, less desirable. From the selected qualities, construct the series d1. In the first positions, place the most important, in your opinion, positive personality traits. And negative - in the end. Of these qualities, construct a series of d2, in which to place the qualities as their expression decreases.
The main purpose of the processing of results is to determine the connection between the rank estimates of personal properties that are included in the representations "I'm real" and "I'm perfect."
- By comparing yourself with other people.
- Or by comparing the degree of their claims with the more objective indicators of personal activity.
Using a special table, a person can interpret his own results. And finally I would like to add that it is always worth remembering that you must constantly work hard on yourself and your self-esteem.
