About the Stress Response Test
A stress response test reveals the automatic pattern you fall into when pressure hits. The four common trauma and stress responses are fight (push back), flight (escape or keep busy), freeze (shut down) and fawn (appease and people-please).
How it works
The 35 questions describe stressful moments, such as conflict, criticism, deadlines and bad news, and ask how you typically react, both in your mind and in your body. When you finish, you get a written report explaining your result, the strengths often paired with it and practical next steps.
This quiz is for self-reflection and information only. It is not a medical or psychological diagnosis. If you are worried about your mental health, please speak to a doctor or qualified professional. In an emergency, contact your local emergency number.
