Self Confidence Inventory

Problem: To evaluate the level of self confidence in the subject

INTRODUCTION

The SCI has been designed in Hindi to assess the level of Self-Confidence among adolescents
and adults. The abbreviated name has been used so that the respondent may not decipher
the real purpose of the test and take good.

The personality pattern is a unified multidimensional structure in which the concept of self is
the core or centre of gravity (Breckenridge and Vincent, 1965). Into this structure are
integrated many patterns of response tendencies, known as 'traits' which are closely related
to and influenced by the concept of self. Self-confidence is one such personality trait. The self
is a composite of a person's thoughts and feelings, strivings and hopes, fears and fantasies,
his view of what he is, what he has been, what he might become, and his attitude pertaining
of his worth. Self-Confidence is a positive attitude of oneself towards one's self-concept. It is
an attribute of perceived self. Self-Confidence refers to a person's perceived ability to tackle
situations successfully without leaning on others and to have a positive self-evaluation. In the
words of Basavanna (1975). "In general terms, self-confidence refers to an individual's
perceived ability to act effectively in a situation to overcome obstacles and to get thing go all
right". A self-confident person perceives himself to be socially competent, ermotionally mature,
intellectually adequate, successful, satisfied, decisive, optimistic, independent, self-assured,
forward-moving, fairly assertive and having leadership qualities.
