Thank you for taking the test. You have a score of 845.

Get a check up. You're living with a lot of stress. And chances are it's already affecting you, with problems like loss of sleep and high blood pressure. You also run a higher risk of getting hurt from an accident or a fall. Experts say elevated stress levels can distract us and make us more careless.


Hmmmm......

Oh wow! Mine was 575, the median range. Time for a check up, Karuuna! (or would having to run to yet another appointment be too stressful? )

OH, I wasn't TOO stressed while that show was on.. other than having a plumber around ALL DAY, having to fork out $1600 for various items (including a new water heater) and lots of labor.

At least the guy was very pleasant, and good at his job. He's returning tomorrow to finish up work on the toilet and the gas line to the dryer.

So from the leak from the water heater I had most of my towels soaking wet.. I threw a bunch of them into the washer. Can't dry until the gas line is replaced.. So.. I spazzed out and that show about stress ran. I didn't take the test.

Suddenly I realized that the cat was still shut away in my bedroom (with food, water and catbox), so I headed for the front of the house , which turned out to be UNDER water... entry, kitchen, bathroom and laundryroom not to mention some carpet. Arrrgh..

Turns out that the hose that drains the washer either wasn't put back or flipped out, so the entire wash and rinse cycle worth of a large load was all over.

And of course most of my towels were still wet..

Now ALL towels and all throw rugs are wet, I'm totally frazzled.

Two floor fans and a ceiling fan are running, doors are open. My back hurts.

I'm afraid to take the test.

And the cat is STILL in the

Who are they kidding? They just don't ask the right questions. I'll take this test again in about a month or so.

Thank you for taking the test. You have a score of 430.
You run a medium risk of stress-related illness. You're a bit more stressed-out. And since stress can lower immunity, you're at a greater risk for getting sick

I agree with Gail. They don't word the questions very well and some of the questions were redundant.

The test is very much geared for those working outside the home. But, I do believe I lead a fairly low stress life, even with the kids

When I took it the first time I came out with 115, but they didn't have my exact stress generators listed, so I took it again using the closest thing, it came out 285. But some of MINE were not even remotly listed, so.......

I agree with Gail also. Either I am overreacting to my situations (not) or they left out questions that should have been there.

Not that I WANT to be stressed out mind you!

Oh well... I know I have high blood pressure, am on meds for that... I am definately accident prone..

My stress score was 380. Medium risk.

Hmmm, and that was with me answering no on all the work related issues, cause I've been out of a job for so long.

If I had time for a check-up, I wouldn't need one!

950!!
I really hope that's not out of 1000

And I got 150 but I think that the questions weren't "with" me and that I was *alot* more stressed during the school year.

Yow, mine was 1050. Single mom, money issues, recent new job with MAJOR stresses, death of a parent, never enough time.

Maybe I need to visit the gripe thread more, lol.

I also have other stresses not mentioned. I have frequently waited in lines, but that isn't a problem for me 99% of the time.

I've never been less stressed in my life. I have the world on a string and I'm sitting on a rainbow. Hmmmmmmm, sounds like a song.

I see the doctor every 3 months and I'm almost never sick, unless you consider stress related chronic conditions as sick.
