Explanation
Less than 36 = Low self-confidence
You think twice before you do anything. You are never sure about yourself and care so much about what others think about you or your work. You don't express yourself freely because you worry too much about the reactions or opinions of others. You are probably more successful and accomplished than you think you are.
Between 36 and 48 = Average
This is the average, and healthy I may say, range for most people as both very high and very low confidence rates have their disadvantages.
Higher than 48 = High self-confidence
You feel good about yourself. You are not much concerned with other people's opinions about you. You are generally satisfied with how your life is going. You know where to draw a line between your personal and professional obligations. You don't hide your feelings and you're usually very expressive of what you think. You have a long-term goal and do things without hesitation. You believe that your fate is within your control. Your view of how successful you are could be a bit inflated but that doesn't matter anyway.
