Self-Evaluation Standards

Minimal Self-Evaluation Standards

Expressions activating this band show little coherent self-appraisal and are often dominated by unrelated actions, symptoms, or events rather than organized judgment of the self. When self-reference appears, it is fragmentary, indirect, or incidental rather than centered on standards or comparison.

Low Self-Evaluation Standards

Expressions activating this band show emerging personal appraisal tied to dissatisfaction, unfairness, limits, or difficulty recognizing one's own state. Self-judgment is present but loosely formed and embedded in concrete complaints or life problems.

Moderate Self-Evaluation Standards

Expressions activating this band describe active self-assessment around performance, adequacy, progress, and life attainment. The expression often centers on feeling behind others, failing to meet important aims, or monitoring efforts to improve.

High Self-Evaluation Standards

Expressions activating this band show sustained reflection on what matters personally and on how one's present self aligns with valued ideals, past functioning, or perceived happiness of others. Self-appraisal is organized around identity, values, and meaning rather than isolated outcomes.

Rigid Self-Evaluation Standards

Expressions activating this band explicitly invoke standards, comparison, judging, and rating oneself or others against defined criteria. The expression presents self-worth or adequacy as something measured against personal benchmarks, average standing, or high expectations.
