Hah, I’m 11%. I have a bunch of personal things that don’t pertain to any of their questions. But according to them, all I have to do is get rid of my consciousness, then I’ll be really stress free. 😃 ---

19% stress. No kids, no repossession, nothing near me on fire. Now, if it had been a test for irritability and mild annoyance, I’d have got up there in the 70%s. ---

Hmm 14% Get a job. But I already have a job. Hmmm Granted it’s a stress free and easy 40 hr paycheck. All I do is sit here surf the internet and occassionaly help somone in the computer lab. God I love my job. ---

10% here, no way I’m that calm. The questions doesn’t cover everything. ---

They sure don’t, **Anniz**. I’m more stressed out now than I have been in years. I’m pretty much at the end of my rope, and it gave me “only” a 17% score! What’s up with that… ---

According to the test I hae a stress level of 29%…obviously that is a lie, I am undergoing more stress right now then I have in years…it feels like about 75%…sigh…there are advantages to being a hermit… Keith ---

I found it ironic for me that these two questions came up together: Are you in a long-distance relationship? Are you directly responsible for the well-being of an invalid, senile, or otherwise Canadian person? \ My score was 10% - but they needed to ask if my company had announced layoffs a month ago. ---

22% I also should eliminate my youngest child and consciousness. Hmm, if 22% makes the hair fall out of my head like it has in the last month then I really hate to see what people with 50% look like. ---

19%. That’s a relief; I thought for sure I was more stressed than that. ---

13%, but I think that is a bit high. I assume that having divorced parents was worth a point or two, but I honestly don’t see why that would cause me stress. I’m a very unstressed person. I have plenty of pressures in my life but not stress. I learned a long time ago that stress is all in your head. ---

Currently I’m at this level of testing… You exhibit a stress percentage of 18% Four months ago here’s how things went… It’s just as we suspected. You exhibit a stress percentage of 39% which is about what you deserve. This is only an average score for someone of your age and sex. Riiiiiiight. I nearly went crazy back then. ---

18% Bogus. I’m living away from home. My _actual_ home. Where all my stuff is. I’m not in a relationship because of this factor. I don’t know when I’ll be able to get back. ---

You have it easy. You exhibit a stress percentage of 21% which is well below average. Quite likely, you are lazy and retarded. I have to eliminate consciousness. This is weird. I just did a major move and job change, and I have no stress? They didn’t ask me if I’m a single parent raising a boy with ADHD in an unfamiliar place. Buggers. ---
