Stress Test



Here you will find the best online stress test. Frankly, I think it should be THE online test.

The "Test Your Stress In 8 Second " that you see blinking everywhere on the web just doesn't work - and you can't play an online stress relief game and rely on your "best score" as you stress level.

One test, however, come close to some form of universal usability. The Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale that you can find below.

I say "come close to", because no stress test can measure your stress very accurately. Your stress is yours, and your stressors (the things that give you stress) may well be very different from others'.

With that said, let's get to it.

Teens Look Here!

Important: If you are a teenager or you are trying this test with a child, go here for the teens test. The general stressors changes through our lives, and most importantly the stress factor changes a lot!

The teen stress test is also a good place to start if you have a teenager or child that you think may suffer from stress.

You don't have to do the test, but if you are a parent - look through the list of stressors, it may give you an idea about "what is going on" inside a teenager or child.

And as always, remember that tests and charts can never paint the whole picture.

Stress Test

The test below is also known as the annual stress scale. The point is, that you think about the past year (exactly one year back from today) and you tick the "Yes" at every event that you have experienced during that period.

Please do not obsess over the result - the test is meant as a help and guide. If you want to know more about the causes of stress look here.

You can multiply the factor if an event has happened to you several times and you want to be thorough.
