Interpretation of Score.
If your score is ...
| 57-70. |
God has apparently given you a very strong appreciation for His love and unconditional acceptance. You seem to be freed from the shame that plagues most people. (Some people who score this high are either greatly deceived, or have become callous to their emotions as a way to suppress pain.)
|
| 47-56. |
Shame controls your responses rarely or only in certain situations. Again, the exceptions are those who are not honest with themselves.
|
| 37-46. |
When you experience emotional problems, they may relate to a sense of shame. Upon reflection, you will probably relate many of your previous decision to feelings of worthlessness. Many of your future decisions will also be affected by low self-esteem unless you take direct action to overcome it.
|
| 27-36. |
Shame forms a generally negative backdrop to your life. There are probably few days that you are not affected in some way by shame. Unfortunately, this robs you of the joy and peace your salvation was meant to bring.
|
| 0-26. |
Experiences of shame dominate your memory, and have probably resulted in a great deal of depression. These problems will remain until some definitive action is taken. In other words, this condition will not simply disappear one day; time alone cannot heal your pain. You need to experience deep healing in your self-concept, in your relationship with God, and in your relationship with others. Christian counseling will help you to achieve this experience.
