THE NATIONAL STRESS TEST

Brought to you by BellGlobemedia and the Canadian Institute of Stress

Your on-line feedback from taking our four-minute stress test will give you practical, personalized answers to:

1. What's my overall stress score? How does that compare to other people?

2. What's my StressType ? Am I a Worry Wart … a Speed Freak … a Drifter … a Loner … or a Basket Case?

3. How can I improve my stress level? What two steps will get the best results for my StressType?

About the test: Beginning 22 years ago, Drs. Hans Selye and Richard Earle focused on-going research at the Canadian Institute of Stress on two key questions:

1. Which stress management techniques actually work ?

2. Since people are different, do different people need different techniques to get lasting results ? Their research results, published in the best-selling books Your Vitality Quotient and Reduce Your Body Age, are yours to use here by taking the test.

Take the test. Focus in on your results. And, then, follow the two Action Recommendations the Institute knows will work best for your top-scoring StressType. You will see results you want … less stress and more vitality … daily.

Now … take the test. Answer all the questions as honestly as you can, giving the answer that best describes you. Your answers are Confidential. The more honest you are, the more accurate your results will be.
