Online Stress Test
With permission from the Canadian Institute of Stress

Your test will give you practical, personalized answers to …

  • What’s my overall stress score?  How does that compare to other people?
  • What’s my StressType?  Am I a Worry Wart…a Speed Freak…a Drifter … a Loner … or a Basket Case?
  • How can I improve my stress level?  What two steps will get the best results for my StressType?

Why we know the Peronalized Stress Test profile will help you  --  Beginning 22 years ago, Drs. Hans Selye and Richard Earle focused on-going research at the Canadian Institute of Stress on two key questions …

  • Which stress management techniques actually work?
  • Since people are different, do different people need different techniques to get lasting results?

Their research results, published in the best-selling books Your Vitality Quotient and Reduce Your Body Age, are yours to use here by taking the Personalized Stress Profile test.

Take the test.  Focus in on your results. And, then, follow the two Action Recommendations the Institute knows will work best for your top-scoring StressType. You will see results you want … less stress and more vitality … daily.

Now … let’s take the test.   Answer all the questions as honestly as you can, giving the answer that best describes you.  Your answers are Confidential.  The more honest you are, the more accurate your results will be.

Instructions:  Select a number at the left of each statement below, based on the frequency scale provided.

How frequently has each of the following statements been true about you during the past year?  (Use all the numbers.  For example, use 1 to express "almost never" and 7 to express a frequency between "occasionally" and "frequently.")

                  0  = never
                  1
                  2  = rarely
                  3
                  4  = infrequently
                  5
                  6  = occasionally
                  7
                  8  = frequently
                  9
                  10  = very frequently

Be honest with yourself.  As you go through the statements, try to avoid looking like Superman or Superwoman or like a total wreck unless your situation truly warrants it.  Use your best judgement.  Your honest first thought is usually the most accurate.

Enter one number in the blank to the left of each statement.

I wish I could be as happy as other people seem to be.

I try to do two or three things at once, rather than taking one thing at a time.

I don't feel really close to or accepted by the people around me, both family and friends.

I tire quickly.

I feel that my leisure time and recreational life don't express the really creative side of me.

Whenever I try to put a worrisome thought out of my mind, it comes right back.

I don't handle conflicts or disagreements with people as well as I'd like to.

I get the flu or a cold.

The ways I organize and use my time aren't a very accurate reflection of my interests.
