General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)
How strongly you believe you can handle hard situations.
Sobre este test
The General Self-Efficacy Scale measures your general belief that you can deal with hard or new situations through your own effort. It is not about a single skill — it is about your overall confidence that you can find a way to cope. Higher scores go together with more optimism, persistence and life satisfaction.
