One of the most common ways to diagnose whether a child has a low or high self-steem is by administering the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. This is a psychometric test that measures the self-esteem of children.

In this test, children are asked to agree or disagree with a series of questions, such as:

I feel that I am a person of worth, at least on an equal plane with others.

I feel that I have a number of good qualities.

I take a positive attitude toward myself.

On the whole, I am satisfied with myself.

At times I think I am no good at all.

The results of this test show whether children have a positive attitude towards themselves and towards others, which would suggest whether they have a high or a low self-esteem.
