The degree to which one's self-concept is perceived as positive is called:

• A. Self-Concept
• B. Self-Esteem
• C. Rorschach Inkblot Test
• D. Sublimation

Answer: (B)

This question targets the evaluative judgment you have about yourself. The degree to which you view yourself in a positive light is called self-esteem. It’s about how much you like, value, and feel worthy of yourself.

Self-concept, by contrast, is the broader picture of who you think you are—the collection of beliefs about your traits, abilities, and roles. Those beliefs can be accurate or not and aren’t necessarily framed in terms of how you feel about yourself.

The Rorschach Inkblot Test is a projective assessment used to explore personality through ambiguous stimuli, not specifically about how positively you view yourself. Sublimation is a defense mechanism where unacceptable impulses are redirected into acceptable activities, which is also unrelated to the evaluative aspect of self-view.

So, the best answer is the one that directly captures the positive or negative evaluation of the self: self-esteem.
