NSAD STRESS QUESTIONNAIRE
Because everyone reacts to stress in his or her own way, no one stress test can give you a complete diagnosis of your stress levels. This stress test is intended to give you an overview only. Please see a Stress Management Consultant for a more in depth analysis.
Answer all the questions but just tick one box that applies to you, either yes or no. Answer yes, even if only part of a question applies to you. Take your time, but please be completely honest with your answers:
| Yes | No |
| 1 | I frequently bring work home at night |
| 2 | Not enough hours in the day to do all the things that I must do |
| 3 | I deny or ignore problems in the hope that they will go away |
