You scored 1 out of 23

If you scored 5 or less: you may have low stress levels. Keep doing what you're doing! However, it's worth noting that even one symptom like 'working yourself to exhaustion' could be a sign of stress. If you do feel at risk of stress and want to know how to keep your levels down, have a look at some our related links on the right hand side of this page.

the only one i am is "lack of interest in personal appearance"

So how did you do?
You scored 1 out of 23

I demand a recount Mind you I'm not at work at the mo so I suppose it should be low LOL

I scored 7, but the test is flawed (aren't they all?!) by automatically associating symptoms with what they're trying to test without considering that there may be other causes.

For example all of "Feeling sweaty or shivery", "Pounding heart or palpitations", "Needing to go to the toilet a lot more than normal" and "Feeling sick in the stomach ('having butterflies')" could all be the result of medical conditions that have nothing to with stress and many of the other questions could be likewise.

Personally I wouldn't get stressed about it!
