Self-esteem
On the card, Self-esteem means “to feel good about myself”. On Even Over’s map of values, it is in the area called Achievement: succeeding by the standards other people recognise. That area is on the self-enhancement side of the map.
How it was placed
The map has no close match for this word, so it sits with a near one. Feeling good about yourself is placed with confirming your own capabilities; the circle has no value for self-regard. The placement is our own and provisional.
