23%

which is well below average. Quite likely, you are lazy and retarded  
I am too stressed, they just didn’t ask the right questions!  
Although they were dead on with the “lazy” part.

You exhibit a stress percentage of  
16%  
which barely registers. Get a job.

Which is eerily apt, inasmuch as I’m currently job-hunting, but not quite so heavily yet (I’ve been enjoying having all of last week off to just laze around. Mmmm, lazing.)

It also suggested that to reduce it further I should eliminate either or both of:

- my significant other (not gonna happen.)
- consciousness (I’ve often thought life would be even easier as a philosophical zombie. I’ll work on it.)

Also, I note that 9% of the people who took the test were orgasm-free in the last week. That saddens me.

10%.

The remark about “otherwise Canadian person” in one question must’ve raised the stress level.
