Having low esteem is something most of us would have been faced with at some point or another. This event does one thing, it puts us in a strange frame of mind; one that doesn't allow us to be professional minded and makes us wary of going in for a self-esteem test.

Thankfully, with the advent of internet, we can learn about self esteem from the comforts of our home and also evaluate it on our own. The free self esteem test below will guide you.

The classic indicator of things starting to go wrong is when we start having negative thoughts about ourselves. This leads us to avoid doing certain things, which we would have done otherwise. It is at this point that the feeling of not being wanted and not being loved hits us. And it is, indeed, the best time for us to go in for an assessment of our self esteem.

The World Wide Web has tests for children, adults, and women. In addition to these tests, a host of other general self esteem tests are also available. Some of these tests are free of charge and some need to be paid for. Overall, the free tests would give you an esteem score and also a brief report on how you are doing with your esteem score.

Well, if you want a detailed report, then it would be advisable to opt for paid tests. You will also receive suggestions on positive affirmations, positive thinking and positive attitudes that will provide a boost to your self esteem, enhance your self confidence and prepare you for accepting new challenges with open arms.

In certain cases, it would be advisable to consult a professional, instead of going for online tests. If someone close to you has low self esteem and it is acting as a serious impediment for them, then it is advisable to take help of a professional or speak to a mentor, whom you can confide to.

Otherwise also, there are scores of tests available on the Internet that would help you get assistance with self-esteem tests. Simple questions, like the ones mentioned below in this free self esteem test, should be asked:

*    Do you shirk away taking up challenges?
*    Do you believe that you are liked by all?
*    Do you think that your colleagues have high regard for you?
*    Do you rarely find yourself in high-spirits?
*    Are you satisfied with your life or do you look for new things in life?
*    Do you rate your personal opinion highly?

If you have responded in the negative to most of these questions then you probably do not suffer from low self-esteem.

Reading about self esteem and pondering over what we have read also helps in boosting our self esteem. We may feel that although we may not feel on top of the world, we still have sound confidence and simply need to manage a few of our emotions and attitudes.

You could also make an effort to know how your self esteem is structured and how it develops. This would help you in understanding how your experiences were with your family. Understanding the self esteem aspect is really important as it helps you tackle the issue on hand, admirably.

Our self-esteem could be at an all time low, if we get treated badly. On the other hand, positive vibes from your family will always make you feel good, resulting in you having high self-esteem.

You've tried hypnotherapy and all sorts of counseling and subliminal audios, but nothing works to help boost your flagging self-esteem! I am a former clinical hypnotherapist and stress counselor, my name is Stephen Richards and I am proud to say that I am one of the foremost mind power experts in the world. So when I tell you that hypnosis audios and subliminal messaging are not the answer for curing low self-esteem then it might make you stop and think!

When someone has low self esteem they are unwilling to place themselves in situations that are unfamiliar to them. Thus, they are unlikely to go to a professional and ask for a self-esteem assessment. I even have an on the house test below, a fast way to check your self esteem levels.

In general, we have to put an eye on our thoughts and behavior but there are some symptoms that ring the bell and tell us that we should think about assessing our self-esteem. Amongst some of these assessments are when we feel unwilling to do or carry out some important thing, when we do not find or see a reason for others around us to love us, when we think that our value compared to others is less. If we felt some, or at least one, of these symptoms, we must stop and think about measuring our self-esteem.

There; on the World Wide Web, are numerous types of tests available for anyone to take, but below is a fast and free test. We can find self-esteem tests for children test, women and generally everyone. The free ones give us a score and a brief idea about what we need to boost within ourselves. But this sort of self administered therapy is not the best way to fix self-esteem issues!

Other than those free ones, there are tests on the internet that we need to pay and sign up to take them. Usually they do not only give us a detailed assessment of our self-esteem but they also tell us how to be positive thinkers; they show us how to make a daily affirmation and good kinds of attitudes; they teach us how to develop and improve our self confidence and how to not lose our smile while experiencing new challenges.

Having said this, we can't overlook the importance of seeking professional help or meeting with such a professional on a one on one basis, especially as it applies to some more serious cases. You should seek such help when you believe that a loved one might be having such issues so much so that it has begun to affect him or her adversely.

Here is a completely free 6 question test, just answer 'yes' or 'no', simple as that:

*    Are you relaxed when it comes to you doing new things or meeting with people you   

      haven't met before?
*    Do you feel that you are liked by most people?
*    Do you think you have the respect of your work colleagues?
*    Do you feel cheerful the majority of the time?
*    Do new challenges make you feel excited?
*    Do you value your own belief?

How many times did you answer "Yes"? How many times did you answer "NO"? If you did not score a straight 6 for the "YES" then you have some self-esteem issues! The more you answer "NO" the more issues you have! Sometimes, even if you have answered "YES" to all questions, we need to find out more about self-esteem. However, if your answer to one or more of these questions is a "NO" then sometimes, reading about self esteem and thinking about what we have read can be of help.

What if you answered "NO" to one or more of the questions in the test? Would you like a fast fix for the matter at hand? Surely the answer has to be a resounding "YES"? There is a method that does away with conventional methods and expensive visits to your therapist, a way which counteracts this low self-esteem right from inside of you, and without hypnosis!

I have created many self-help audios and one of the things that struck me was how the sound through headphones was perceived by those with a dominant left-hearing ear. Curative audios sometimes have more of an impact when certain pitches are used to carry the message to the user through earphones. I was pleased that a psychology don did some in-depth research into this, and the findings proved what I have been claiming for some time was true ... that people with a dominant left hand are likely to have a dominant left ear!

The 'Journal of Experimental Psychology' carried findings which revealed how left-handed people deliberate over things quite differently than was first thought. Even down to how a left-handed person makes a choice is all, apparently, because of the use of a particular hand as the dominant one. To date, all of my recent self-help audios carry instructions for left-handers to reverse their stereo headsets.

A comprehensive analysis of right-handed people demonstrated how they possess better hearing when listening through their right ear. In the 1991 'Previc hypothesis' Eighty one right-handed and forty five left-handed undergraduates were used in the tests, which were over a prolonged period of listening. The results confirmed that the dominant hand dictated the dominant listening side - neither left nor right-handed listeners having any better hearing, just a more dominant ear. For that reason it is well advised to ensure that when listening to certain therapy based audios that the earphones are used appropriately.

It was found that there was a definite affirmative association when tests were scored for left and right-handed people for the lengths of listening time for left and right ears of both left and right-handed listeners. Basically the results meant there was a link between dominant hand choice and unevenness of hearing.

Just because you are right-handed does not mean you are dominant in right-sidedness! As much as you have a primary hand, you also have a primary eye, leg and foot, etc! Not all of these are interrelated to the same side of your body. You may use a tennis racket with your right hand but use your left boot as the primary kicker when playing soccer. Studies of undergraduates found that they associate upbeat thoughts with their primary side and downbeat thoughts with their secondary side.

The male of the human species is more prone to having dominant use of their left hand than the lady of the species. Just because a child's mother and father are both left-handed does not mean they will be, as there is only a 1 in 4 chance of this being the case. Apparently in the last 80 years there have been 7 left-handed US presidents, Barack Obama being one of them!

It can be quite annoying for left-handers to have to keep switching their headphones around, but this can be overcome if you are using a headset with multiple cables going to your PC, just change the cables around. You can also swap right to left by going into your PC's soundcard, if it has this set-up installed.

Try switching your headset when listening to different audios, whatever feels good for you is fine. There are, at times, no hard and fast rules. There is no real left/right brain way to determine what is right for you. Something worth noting though is, you may not have this 'switched' brain activity just because you are a left-hander.

Left-handed utensils and tools have come on a long way since everything was 'right-handed'. Now you can even get a left-handed pen, tape-measures, corkscrews, scissors and much more. What is interesting is that you can get a boomerang for left-handers, but left-handed headsets are more difficult to come by! Roughly 10 percent of the world's population are left-handed. That's an awful lot of left-handed people from the 7 billion world population! Maybe the electronics industry will take note.

If you suffer from social anxiety disorder (panic attacks) then no doubt you have searched high and low for a fix. Yes, you've read the Internet sales pitches of the many so-called fast-fix remedies available ... all pitched at you in a slick manner, all meant to get you to buy their product. What do they offer? Well there are many downloads if you have a few days to sit by your computer spending your time and money on useless file after file of unnecessary clutter.

They start off by luring you in with some kitschy sales talk, laying it on thick, then after the premise of a cure they move on to the price. Starting at an overstated price, and then slowly coming down in price, even offering you useless add-ons for free, which you will never ever use! Well, I suppose they have to make you feel comfortable and get those endorphins zapping about inside of your head. That is when you are hooked on what is a supposed cure for panic attacks and they have your money for something that is completely ineffective.

Examined in the cold light of day these downloads, MP3s or instructions are not worth the media they came in or on. Oh yes, they also tempt you to subscribe to other useless so-called special 'one off' offers that will expire within 24-hours or so if you don't act fast. The industry supplying these overly priced fixes really go to town in throwing the hard sell at you, and many buyers fall hook, line and sinker for the ploys used. So do be careful what you buy when it comes to fixing your social anxiety disorder or you may well succumb to another social anxiety attack.

How on earth can you get through all those CDs supplied for one treatment, then there are what seems like reams of paperwork accompanying it, well that is if you decide to print it all out from your download. Oh, and they throw in more than the value of the product you have just bought as a sweetener! Then you have some testimonies from so-called past anxiety sufferers. You are supposed to get through all of this paraphernalia you are now in possession of on your own, and then go out and put it into action. The lists of cures these products are supposed to clear (all tied in with panic attacks) are: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Agoraphobia, Self Harming, etc, etc!

You see the smiling faces of past anxiety sufferers, saying they did everything and anything before trying the product on offer and voila! It worked, amazingly! No doubt these people are all good honest folk, and all the testimonies are no doubt all real, too. It all lends itself to the support of the product and for garnering your belief that it works. Of course, it all leads to the bottom of the web page, building up to the big sell. So it is simple to be trapped in the belief that what is on offer is the real deal.

What if there was something that actually worked better than subliminal messaging? What if it were self-hypnosis? Well that may work to bolster up your confidence levels when you are alone, but just try that in a social anxiety setting! See what happens, or rather what does not happen.

The real groundbreaking technology that has made a breakthrough in the cure of social anxiety disorder is very, very simple! In the most advanced cure for social anxiety phobia, International Best-selling Self-help Author Stephen Richards has done away with the need for self-hypnosis or the use of subliminal messaging.

During therapy sessions with private clients Stephen Richards has had massive breakthroughs when it comes to helping others overcome panic attacks. He developed a system that would do away with expensive and wasteful downloads. Downloads that were and are very costly. He has done away with any form of hypnosis whatsoever.
