Life Stress Test

Many experiences in life are stressful, some more than others. The following quiz, based on the Life Stress Inventory, also known as the Holmes and Rahe test, rates the stressful experiences you've had over the past year, and calculates your risk of developing a stress-related illness. This comprehensive quiz may take up to five minutes to complete. Answer each question honestly, based on what is currently happening in your life, or what happened over the past year.
