Self worth is measured by the contributions you make to your life, for example, your accomplishments and skills. Self worth can also be measured by the influence you have on other people. You can have a good sense of your self worth when you reflect on your day and weigh what you are proud of and what you regret. It is difficult to measure, understanding self-worth is an intuitive process.

I measure my self worth by how much I seem to be a positive influence on others, how much I am able to be of to help others.
Even little ways and little things can matter, and like the "Pay it Forward" theory, it can ripple out and effect many lives.
This means, of course, that any act of generousity or compassion on my part is hardly altruistic, though, as I do it for my own sense of gratification in it - therefore I have learned to ask myself some serious questions before acting. The main question is whether I expect anything back for myself in a given circumstance - if I find myself acting with "strings attatched" I won't go through with whatever I had planned, unless I can detatch myself from that expectation.

You take Honesty, multiply it by integrity, add the Goals you made, subtract the Goals you didn't make, divide that by Success, add Happiness, Love and spiritual equality by the power of 12 equals Self-worth. The true measurement is no more tha a foot or arms length. The mirror lies!

Our own evaluation would not do. Other people too will have their bias and prejudices in measuring it and more so in giving true feedback.
I then come to the conclusion that it is not possible to objectively measure self worth
and
further to the conclusion that your question which looked innocuous at first sight is really quite an involved question!!

The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.

If you measure it yourself, you use a ruler. If another measures it, they may use a yardstick, so opinions vary. I would think if you feel accomplished then you meet your own standards. The mind varies as do goals of people, it's all a matter of personal perception.

Once you realize we're all worthless, there's nothing left to measure.

the measure varies from person to person
its basically about how much you respect yourself ?
it hasnot units to be calculated in but surely you can feel the intensity throgh various circumstances in ach you findurself loving yourself.....................for instance many ppl do feel proud of themselves wen they do gud to others n sum feel proud to win a game.....so each of us have our own way to do it n surely its great to love n respect ouselves its like being grateful to god

By my actions and reactions I have or have had. I look at how I act towards everyday life.
