HOW THIS TEST WORKS
How How Self-Aware Am I? works
How version core-v1 is scored, and what it can and cannot tell you.
How it is scored
Self-awareness means knowing yourself: your feelings, patterns, strengths, limits, and values. Researchers describe two parts. Inner awareness is how clearly you see yourself. Outer awareness is how well you know how other people see you. They are not the same, and people can be strong in one and weak in the other (Eurich, 2018). Research also shows that asking "what" questions about yourself works better than "why" questions, and that going over worries again and again can backfire (Trapnell and Campbell, 1999).
This test looks at five areas: noticing your feelings, knowing your patterns, knowing your strengths and limits, seeing how others see you, and knowing what matters to you. Each area has eight sentences. Half describe the skill and half describe the opposite, so you cannot get a high score just by agreeing with everything. Each answer gives 0 to 4 points.
Each area score runs from 0 to 100, and a higher score means a stronger skill. Your overall score is the average of the five. Scores are read as Low (0 to 33), Medium (34 to 66), or High (67 to 100). These levels show how you answered. They do not compare you with other people.

What it cannot tell you
This test is for learning about yourself. It is not a diagnosis. It cannot tell you if you have any mental health condition. Do not use it to hire, judge, or rank people.
It is also based on how you see yourself, and no one sees themselves perfectly. That is the point of the test. The best way to check a result is to talk it over with someone who knows you well.
This version has not yet been tested with a large group of people, so we do not yet know how accurate it is.
