Activity: SELF-CONCEPT INVENTORY
 How do you perceive yourself?
Look at the results of your self-concept inventory and answer the
following questions.
1. In what areas do you consider yourself strong (with score 14-16 or
somewhat weak (score of 10-13) and very weak (below 10).
2. Are there qualities you consider as your weakness but other people
consider as your strength? What are these? Check with a partner.
Example: A lady can say “I`m ugly” yet other consider her very
charming. Or conversely, one can have the illusion of saying “I am
very intelligent or competent” when most of his ideas sound
unreasonable or illogical to most of the people. There is indeed a big
difference between what you see in yourself (real self-image) and
what is projected in the eyes of the others (your social image).
 How do you perceive yourself?

3. How realistic is your self- image?

4. To what extent does it reflect
your real self?
 SHARING
Share your unique
characteristics, habits, and
experiences
 SELF-CONCEPT
Imagine yourself looking into a mirror. What do you
see? Do you see your ideal self or your actual self?
Your ideal self is the self that you aspire to be. It is
the one that you hope will possess characteristics
similar to that of a mentor or some other worldly
figure. Your actual self, however, is the one that you
actually see. It is the self that has characteristics that
you were nurtured or, in some cases, born to have.
 SELF-CONCEPT
The actual self and the ideal self are two broad
categories of self-concept. Self-concept refers to
your awareness of yourself. It is the construct that
negotiates these two selves. In other words, it
connotes first the identification of the ideal self as
separate from others, and second, it encompasses
all the behaviors evaluated in the actual self that you
engage in to reach the ideal self.
 SELF-CONCEPT
The actual self is built on self-knowledge. Self-
knowledge is derived from social interactions that
provide insight into how others react to you. The
actual self is who we actually are. It is how we think,
how we feel, look, and act. The actual self can be
seen by others, but because we have no way of truly
knowing how others view us, the actual self is our
self-image.
 SELF-CONCEPT
The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we want to
be. It is an idealized image that we have developed
over time, based on what we have learned and
experienced. The ideal self could include
components of what our parents have taught us,
what we admire in others, what our society
promotes, and what we think is in our best interest.
