S ummary . Samples of children (N = 1,267) attending primary schools in an Australian rural setting completed the Where Are You Game for the assessment of self‐regard, in order to investigate the test's psychometric properties and the correlates of test scores. Results showed the test to yield meaningful scores over the full age‐range of primary school, and to have acceptable estimated reliability. Factor analysis indicated the test to be uni‐factorial in structure. Correlations with observer ratings of pupil characteristics showed considerable convergent validity. Analysis of variance indicated that younger children had more favourable self‐regard than older children, those with good school achievement saw themselves more favourably than low achievers, the boys more favourably than girls. It is concluded that the test shows promise as a research instrument
