Stress Index

I took the stress index survey and got a score of 4. I feel as if this score was pretty accurate because most of the time I am very low stress. It really takes a lot to get me worked up and worried about things. However, I realized that the times that I stress the most is whenever I procrastinate and do not start working on a paper or project until the last minute. I know that if I become a little bit more organized and spread my work out over the course of several days that my stress level would probably decrease tremendously. In times like these, where I have 3 papers due in 2 days, my stress level is pretty high. I shouldn't have procrastinated and hopefully next time I can learn from my mistakes.

My Stress Analysis

When I did my stress index, I knew that in my life I have some days that are very stressful and others that aren't. I try to plan most things out but I know sometimes it is good to take things as they come at me. But the stress index concluded that I was a stage 8. It said, "You've got your life in fairly good control. Work on choices and habits that could still be causing you some unnecessary stress in your life." So it basically told me what I already new about myself.

My stress Index

After taking the stress test I was not surprised that my stress index was high. This semester has been extremely stressful. I am working 38 hours a week and I go to school 18 hours. Between balancing out school and work and trying to manage time for my family and friends i feel like i could have a break down at any moment. I am burned out, but I realize the importance of continuing so as the stress test stated I will make every attempt think carefully about choices I've made and take relaxation breaks every day.

Stress Analysis

On the Virginia Community Association Network stress assessment my score was 305. I was not surprised by the high number this year has been full of extremely stressful situations for me. On the Canadian Mental Health Association assessment my score was 15. It was a little disturbing when the score popped up and it said Danger Zone. It was like it was saying my head was going to explode or something. I know I have a large amount of stress right now and I deal with it one thing at a time and try not to let everything drag me down. I think the worse thing about stress is dwelling on everything. The VCAN site had some good recommendations like daydreaming to relieve your stress levels. I find that I like to read to get my mind off of the everyday stress.

My Thought on Stress Tests............

After taking the Canadian Mental Health Association's Stress Index test I have learned that I have very few hassles in my life and should try not to shy away from challenges. Half way through the questionnaire I was thinking that a few of the questions seemed a little out of the blue. For example, the ones pertaining to exercise and diet at first I thought that these would make a difference in your stress area, but then again I guess that those components would play a factor in how you handle your stress. I think that stress index is somewhat true because at this moment I feel hassle-free of all the normal stresses that occur in person's life. But on other hand, that's why some stress tests I think wouldn't be an accurate measurement because it depends on how that person is feeling at that moment. Overall, I think that stress is perfect "as of right now" your stress level, not an "all the time" measurement.

Stress Scoring!

When I began this stress test, I felt rather confident that it would find me to be a rather relaxed and in control person. As I was taking the test it began to really make me think about the questions that it was asking, and I can make man contrasts to other people's lives. While I have been able to repel stress and stay in control, I often see people who would have answered yes to the questions. I actually scored a 8! It said tha I was mainly in control of my life, but to work on the few small things that will cause unneccesary extra stress. These results were actually what I expected so I guess its a pretty acurate test! My name is Jonah Miller and this is my results for a very popular stress test! That is found at Canadian Mental Health Association's website here.

Stress Tests

I took the Virginia Community Association Network stress test. On the VCAN test, I made a 194. I don't guess I am too stressed. I have some stress in my life for sure, but what fun is life without some stress in it? I hope that the stress will pay off in the long run. I never thought some of the things that they suggested cause stress would actually be a stressor, but once I thought about it, many of my recreational activites do stress me more than class itself.

The Second test I took was the Canadian Mental Health Association stress test. On this test I scored an 8. This is pretty low I suppose. It says that my life is fairly in good control. It also says I should cut down on the unneccessary stress in my life. I can agree with this statement. I do have useless stress in my life, but once again, its all good and fun and I hope that it pays off in the end.
