STRESS IMPACT TEST

 

The following questionnaire is for personal information only and is not meant to be a professional evaluation. As with many research questionnaires, this questionnaire may not be normed for online participants. Please take this into account when you receive the results.

The Stress Impact Test examines three factors of stress: the amount of stress you are experiencing (STRESSORS), how much you use health coping practices (COPING), and to what degree you are impacted by the stress (REACTION).

The results address how these three factors interact together and provides suggestions as to what you need to consider to manage your stress. The most important aspect of the test is taking it over time and observing the changes that occur in your REACTION score based upon improving your COPING score by using the strategies suggested.

You may take this test as frequently as you desire, but it is asking you to evaluate your symptoms for the last two weeks, and therefore, is more accurate on a less frequent basis. If you take this test in the Stress Test and CBT Self-Help app, you can save your test results and view a graph of your results over time for a visual record of your symptoms and progress.
