Self-Efficacy

Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997)¹Bandura, Albert, and Richard E. Watts. “Self-efficacy in changing societies.” (1996): 313-315.. Self-efficacy reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one’s own motivation, behavior, and social environment.

Self-efficacy is, therefore, a sub-function of our subconscious mind. This is a belief system that drives the way we are tuned to solve a problem.

Self-efficacy is a measure of your ability+willpower to solve a problem that would take a long time, where you may face severe competition, where chances of failure are high, and where you may not get anyone to support you.

Problem Solving Mechanism

1. Our subconscious mind trains the muscles(for example hand’s limbic muscles for shoelace tying)
2. Neurons trigger different patterns(not yet fully understood) to associate distant information(for example, our brain can generate cues from a music show about how to write certain codes).
3. The conscious mind executes the plans using skills, knowledge, resources, experience, etc.
4. Brain use focus to execute a work.
5. Ego-function protects the belief that new work can be done and the problem can be solved.
6. You add new learnings and skills as you solve the problem and face new challenges.
7. Social skills(neo-cortex and pre-frontal-cortex part of the brain) help us collaborate and coordinate with others to carry out the work.
8. Practice gives us confidence.
9. Past success gives us competence.

Therefore self-efficacy is the combination of your knowledge, skill, confidence, competence, people’s skill, self-belief, and not how many problems you have solved or what kind of difficult problems you may solve.

How to Interpret this Test

Self-efficacy is your internal belief system. It is one of the major pillars of self-esteem and self-love. If you think you have what it takes to become successful, you take up bigger challenges. You are under less stress. Your fear of failure is low. This is a self-assessment test and doesn’t have any clinical relevance. That is because if this is used to evaluate others, most may lie about the answers.

If you have low self-efficacy, you may have several issues with self-esteem, the feeling that “I am not good enough.” This may make you more anxious and feel more helpless in a situation. Your attraction to narcissists and individuals with dark triads will be higher. You may suffer greatly in the workplace because people may use you easily. Low self-efficacy will also hold you back from achieving whatever you want to achieve in life. Low self-efficacy will make you complain more about yourself, eventually resulting in several other psychopathological problems.

One of the most important problems you may face with low self-efficacy is “worry.” Worry has been long proven to be directly correlated with altering your metabolism to contribute towards the non-alcoholic fatty liver. Low self-efficacy may cause sub-clinical progressive depression in you.

Therefore, you must take this test honestly to know your core belief about your ability to solve life’s problems. This predictive test may point out future depression and other similar mental illnesses. Though this test will not have clinical relevance, you should do this before taking up any major projects to ensure success.
