How do you perceive yourself?
Look at the results of your self-concept inventory and answer the following questions (you can use the
back of this paper).
1. In what areas do you consider yourself strong (with score 14-16) somewhat weak (score of
10-13) and very weak (below 10).
- I consider myself somewhat weak in communications and human relations. I consider myself
very weak in physical appeal, intelligence, character, and maturity.
2. Are there qualities you consider as your weakness, but other people consider as your
strength? What are these? Check with a partner.
- My weakness is facing in front of many but my friends says that I look confident facing in front
of everybody.
Example: A lady can say “I`m ugly” yet other consider her very charming. Or conversely, one can have
the illusion of saying “I am very intelligent or competent” when most of his ideas sound unreasonable or
illogical to most of the people. There is indeed a big difference between what you see in yourself (real
self-image) and what is projected in the eyes of the others (your social image).
