Questions:
Interpreting your score
Score 0-150
If you scored in this range you are likely to be suffering very little stress. Your chance of suffering stress-related illness or crisis is small.
Score 150-199
If you scored in this range, it is an indication that you are experiencing MILD stress with possibility of crisis or illness being fairly low…about 33%.
Score 200-299
Scores in this range indicate a MODERATE stress situation. This could result in a greater possibility of accident, illness, or some other crisis…about 50%.
Score 300 or more
Those scoring in this range are experiencing high levels of stress and therefore run a much higher risk of crisis or illness. This is considered a major risk area, about 80% chance of experiencing some problems.
This scale is not a foolproof way to rate stress, in that people differ greatly in the manner in which they react to stressful events. At best, this is a rough index of stress, and does not take into account how one copes with stress. If you have a score above 300, an adjustment in your lifestyle may be needed. Always consult with your Doctor if you have any health concerns.
