Introduction:
You are participating in a self-assessment study exploring worth, esteem, and significance in personal and relational contexts. Your participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without penalty. Please review the following information carefully before proceeding.
NOTE: The WES Assessment is an exploratory framework intended to support personal insight and relational understanding. It is not a diagnostic tool, nor is it currently validated through clinical research. This instrument is part of an evolving body of work that may change as future research, theory development, and practitioner feedback emerge. Users are encouraged to engage with the material using their own sound judgment, critical thinking, and in consultation with a qualified professional when appropriate. Interpretations and suggestions provided within this report should be considered informational and reflective; not definitive or prescriptive. Use of this tool is voluntary and undertaken at your own discretion and risk.
1. Purpose of the Assessment
The WES Assessment helps individuals reflect on how they perceive self-worth, esteem, significance, and relational experiences. This tool is for self-reflection and insight and is not a diagnostic instrument. This report generated by your responses is intended for self-reflection and personal growth, should not be used as, or considered to be, a diagnostic tool, and should be used in conjunction with therapy, mentoring, or coaching.
2. What to Expect
You will complete a 48-question survey measuring different aspects of self-worth and relationships.
Responses will be rated on a 5-point scale (Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree).
The assessment will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
Upon completion, you may receive a summary of your results for self-reflection.

Your responses will be kept confidential and stored securely.
No personally identifying information is required unless you choose to share it.
Data may be used for research or educational purposes, but only in aggregated and anonymized form.
