Quiz On Stress
(Author Unknown)
How Stressed Am I?
Indicate whether the statements below are
appropriate to you.
If more than three apply to you, you need to look at the stresses in
your life and how you are dealing with them.
If you say "don't know" to more than six, you are probably not aware
enough of yourself or your stress levels.
If you say "no" to nearly al the statements, be grateful! Life's
stresses aren't getting to you yet. Try to build on the positive things
you already do.
Remember: This quiz is just a guide, and is in no way a scientific or
foolproof method of diagnosing stress - it is no more than an indicator
of what could be happening.
