Quiz score
If you have more than 45 then your stress level is high. You may be a workaholic and you may be suffering from physical effects of stress. You definitely need to follow some course of stress management.
If you have between 35 and 44 then your stress level is still too high. There are some areas in your life you need to work on in order to enjoy life and be less stressed.
If you are in either of these first two categories you may feel too stressed to recognise what is happening or to take action.
If you have between 25 and 34 then your stress level is moderate but you could well do with a little more relaxation at times.
A score of below 25 indicates that you have got the balance about right. You show few signs of stress but it is worth learning how to relax so that you build your energy reserves for when you need them.
