Analysis

The Self-Concept Questionnaire is used to evaluate and understand an individual’s self-perception. It includes questions and statements that examine how people perceive themselves in various areas of life, such as personality, abilities, relationships, and values. This tool helps in exploring self-perception, self-esteem, and individuals’ expectations.

Purpose

The main purpose of the questionnaire is to measure how a person perceives themselves in different domains and to understand its influence on their behavior and psychology.

Calibration

The questionnaire includes questions or statements that participants rate on a Likert scale (from 1 – “Strongly disagree” to 5 or 7 – “Strongly agree”). The total score is calculated by summing or averaging the scores for the individual statements. Higher or lower scores indicate the stronger or weaker perception of the individual about themselves.
