REACTION UNDER STRESS TEST

Updated Personalization Added

The following questions explore how you typically React
when you’re in the middle of a stressful situation.

Pick a specific relationship at work or at home. Then answer the items while thinking about how you typically approach risky conversations in that relationship



Answer each question with a “True” or “False” response.



1. At times I avoid situations that might bring me into contact with
people I’m having problems with.

2. I have put off returning phone calls or e-mails because I simply
didn’t want to deal with the person who sent them.

3. Sometimes when people bring up a touchy or awkward issue I try
to change the subject.

4. When it comes to dealing with awkward or stressful subjects,
sometimes I hold back rather than give my full and candid
opinion.

5. Rather than tell people exactly what I think, sometimes I rely on
jokes, sarcasm, or snide remarks to let them know I’m
frustrated.

6. When I’ve got something tough to bring up, sometimes I offer
weak or insincere compliments to soften the blow.

7. In order to get my point across, I sometimes exaggerate my side
of the argument.

8. If I seem to be losing control of a conversation, I might cut people
off or change the subject in order to bring it back to where I think
it should be.

9. When others make points that seem stupid to me, I sometimes let
them know it without holding back at all.

10. When I’m stunned by a comment, sometimes I say things that
others might take as forceful or attacking—terms such as “Give
me a break!” or “That’s ridiculous!”

11. Sometimes when things get a bit heated I move from arguing
against others’ points to saying things that might hurt them
personally.

12. If I really get into a heated discussion, I’ve been known to be
tough on the other person. In fact, they might even feel a bit
insulted or hurt.


SCORING
If you answered “True” to questions 1-6, then you lean
toward clamming up or silence when involved in a stress filled situation.


If you answered “True” to questions 7-12, then you lean toward
aggressiveness in stress filled situations.


What ever section has the most “True” answers is the
reactionary tendency you lean toward during stress.


Did you discover anything new about yourself? Did you
Confirm what you already knew?


The importance of this test is for self awareness, which
is the beginning of any change process.
