Score interpretations:
Average overall self-compassion scores tend to be around 3.0 on the 1-5 scale, so you can interpret your overall score accordingly. As a rough guide, a score of 1-2.5 for your overall self-compassion score indicates you are low in self-compassion, 2.5-3.5 indicates you are moderate, and 3.5-5.0 means you are high. Remember that higher scores for the Self-Judgment, Isolation, and Over-Identification subscales indicate less self-compassion, while lower scores on these dimensions are indicative of more self-compassion (these subscales are automatically reverse-coded when your overall self-compassion score is calculated.)
Self-Kindness: 4.20
Self-Judgment: 3.00
Common Humanity: 5.00
Isolation: 1.50
Mindfulness: 4.25
Over-Identification: 3.75
Overall score: 3.87
Thoughts about this:
Buddhism really helps with this stuff. I don't actually think of Buddhism as a religion. I think of it as a structured practice for observing, then consciously shaping, the human mind.
Buddhists like Pema Chodron focus on helping others develop self-compassion, and since I read her work so much, it rubs off on me.

I'm pretty happy with that score, actually. I haven't always been so compassionate with myself... it's definitely a process.
Couple of theme songs that help... "Be Good to Yourself" by Journey and "Sending out a Message" by Melissa Etheridge. :-)
