In Jain dharma, only a Tattva‑jña Ācārya (or Kevalī) can truly and certainly say whether a particular jīva is Samyag‑dṛṣṭi and which exact type of Samyaktva it has. Still, scriptures give clear signs by which you can honestly examine yourself.

I’ll keep it practical and scriptural.

1. What is Samyag‑dṛṣṭi / Samyaktva?

Samyaktva means that your dr̥ṣṭi (view), jñān (understanding) and bhāva (inner attitude) have become in tune with reality as taught by the Jinas – especially:

• Acceptance of the 7/9 tattvas (jīva, ajīva, āsrava, bandha, saṃvara, nirjarā, mokṣa, etc.)
• Firm faith that:

- Tīrthaṅkar Bhagwān is perfectly omniscient and vitarāga - Jain dharma is the true path to mokṣa - Śrutatattva (true Jain scriptures) are authentic guidance

Samyaktva begins from 4th guṇasthān (Avirati‑samyag‑dṛṣṭi) and is fully secure only from there upward. ( jainknowledge.com)

2. Basic “self‑check”: signs you may have Samyak‑darśan

Classically, eight aṅgas (limbs) of Samyak‑dṛṣṭi are described (common to both Śvetāmbara and Digambara, only spellings differ). ( jainknowledge.com)

Ask yourself honestly:

1. Niśaṅkitā – Absence of doubt

- Do I really have no doubt that Jain tattvas and the Jain path are true?

1. Nikāṅkṣitā – No worldly expectation from dharma

- Do I follow dharma mainly for mokṣa, not for money, respect, health, or miracles?

1. Nirvicikitsā – No disgust for true dharma & sādhus

- Do I feel natural respect (not dislike/aversion) towards vitarāga images, śrāvak‑rules, sādhus/sādhvīs, pratikraman, etc.?

1. Amūḍha‑dṛṣṭi – Not confused by wrong teachings

- Do I remain steady even if others criticize Jain dharma or show “miracles” of other paths?

1. Upagūhana – Protecting dharma‑followers lovingly

- Do I avoid exposing and spreading others’ small faults, and instead try to protect their honor?

1. Sthitikaraṇa – Helping others stay in right faith

- Do I encourage family/friends toward real dharma (not just outer show)?

1. Vātsalya – Affection for dharma‑bhāvi people

- Do I feel special inner love for those who walk towards mokṣa?

1. Prabhāvanā – Promoting Jain dharma

- Do I like to support pravachan, pāṭhśālā, granth, temple activities sincerely (not only as fashion)?

The more deeply and steadily these 8 are present, the closer you are to Samyak‑darśan. If they are weak, mixed, or only occasional, you may still be in mithyātva or miśra‑dṛṣṭi guṇasthān.

3. Types of Samyaktva (in brief, from guṇasthān viewpoint)

From the angle of spiritual stages:

1. Sāsvādana‑samyaktva – momentary taste of right faith (2nd guṇasthān)

- Very short; like a flash of correct vision that soon falls back to mithyātva. Not stable.

1. Miśra‑dṛṣṭi / Samyak‑mithyā‑dṛṣṭi (3rd guṇasthān)

- Mixed faith: sometimes strong in Jain view, sometimes pulled by wrong views.

1. Avirati‑samyag‑dṛṣṭi – right faith without vows (4th)

- Clear acceptance of Jain tattva, but still no real external renunciation.

1. Deśa‑virata (śrāvaka‑dharma) – partial renunciation (5th)

- Taking āṇuvratas etc. with true Samyak‑darśan.

1. Pramatt‑virata, Apramatt‑virata, etc. (higher stages)

- For sādhus with full renunciation, leading finally to keval‑jñān and mokṣa.

Both traditions (Śvetāmbara & Digambara) accept these 14 guṇasthāns and place Samyaktva from 4th onwards, though some technical details vary. ( jainknowledge.com)

4. How you can roughly sense which Samyaktva level is closer

This is only for honest self‑reflection, not a certificate:

• If you still like to mix paths, think “all religions are equally true,” or frequently doubt Jain tattva → more like 3rd guṇasthān (miśra‑dṛṣṭi) or even 1st (mithyā‑dṛṣṭi).
• If your inner conviction is firm that:

- Tīrthaṅkar is the only completely omniscient guide, - Jain tattvas are surely true, - Non‑Jain gods/gurus may be respected but are not mokṣa‑datā for you, and the 8 aṅgas appear strongly in you → you may be near 4th guṇasthān Samyaktva.

• If plus this, you seriously keep śrāvaka vratas with care (ahimsā, satya, brahmacharya limits, aparigraha, regular pratikraman, etc.) → you may be near 5th guṇasthān (Deśa‑virata).

But remember: Only the karmic state of your soul (Darśan‑mohanīya karma) truly decides, which only a Kevalī or Tattva‑jña can know exactly. ( jainknowledge.com)

5. What you should actually do now

Instead of worrying “Am I Samyag‑dṛṣṭi or not?”, Jain dharma guides you to:

1. Strengthen faith in tattvas daily

- Listen to authentic Jain pravachan. - Read standard texts (e.g. Tattvārtha‑sūtra, Uttarādhyayana‑sūtra adhyayan 3 on Samyaktva). ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Avoid causes of mithyātva

- Mocking or doubting Jina, guru, śāstra. - Running after miracles, superstitions, or “easy” shortcuts to mokṣa outside the vitarāga path.

1. Practice small but steady vratas

- Daily sāmāyik, pratikramaṇ as you can. - Reduce himsā, krodh, mān, māyā, lobh.

1. Regular self‑introspection (bhāva‑anuprekṣā)

- “Is my use of Jain name, dress, temple, etc. only social – or truly for soul’s liberation?” - Correct yourself gently where you see mithyā‑bhāva.

As Samyaktva strengthens, its signs become more and more natural, not forced.

In summary: You can approximate your state by comparing your inner faith and conduct with the 8 aṅgas of Samyak‑dṛṣṭi and the 14 guṇasthāns; but exact determination of “I am Samyag‑dṛṣṭi of such‑and‑such type” is only certain from the viewpoint of omniscient knowledge. Your safest path is to live as if you are not yet Samyag‑dṛṣṭi and are striving for it today – this humility itself is a strong support for true Samyaktva.
