Check your Stress
The Stress Questionnaire measures the degree to which you have two types of stress. Stress as load and Stress as worry. Stress as load is about the number of things you have to get done at any given time. The more you have to do, the greater your load. Stress as worry is about what you think about what you have to do. If you worry about getting it done, or worry that no one will like it, or that you are going to fail – then you have a lot of stress as worry. Take this quiz once a month to track how your worry is changing. The Stress Quiz can be launched from the Stress Quiz icon at the bottom of every page.
To get started just click on the picture. If you complete the Stress Quiz more than once, we will plot your scores, so you can keep track of how your stress -- as load and worry -- changing over time.
