Score yourself and what it means to you.

SCORING:

To total your score, add up all your numbers to the 20 questions, then subtract 20 from that. Any number over 30 indicates a risk of stress. You are seriously at risk of stress if your score is between 50 and 75, and at extreme risk if it is over 75. Undertake some stress reducing activities, talk to a friend, tell your doctor, chiropractor and/or mental health professional and ask for ways to help reduce your stress.

Remember, stress isn't always emotional, sometimes it is our body's way of telling us something is wrong. Telling a medical professional may be a great start in minimizing your stress and helping maintain your personal health in every way.
