(the above is a general test for stress. The following results are based on general population. If you feel that your result isn't in tandem with the stress levels you experience, contact your nearest mental health medical expert immediately)

Give yourself 1 mark for every yes. 
If you score-
Less than 10
- your stress is within normal levels.
Between 10-15 - you need to incorporate stress battling mechanisms within your daily life. 
Above 15- you are at danger! 
Consult a mental health medical expert in your area immediately. Stress can cause a complete fracture of the brain mechanisms.
