Anger Management Test

To manage your time wisely, we suggest you go directly to "CONTROL YOUR ANGER!!" page.

Anger is a natural emotion which is experienced by every individual. Expressing anger shouldn't cause trouble to others. If you find it difficult to control your temper then you should learn to manage your outbursts. If your anger is not controlled, it can lead to serious problems in your relationships and career. A physical altercation, without prior expression of anger, by at least one of the participants, is very rare. Because we have language, humans usually have written threats and verbal insults. Hence we may not perceive an immediate physical threat, but can feel pain psychologically. Anger can arise without a direct physical threat and without an actual other person being present. Our imagination about future events can cause us fear and anxiety. Therefore anger does not necessary come from something occuring in the present. Humans have some behavioral norms related to social survival. If anybody does not follow these norms, anger arises. For example, the lack of respect. This may break social or interpersonal safety rules. After encountering incidents of others being treated with prejudice, people get nervous and angry, though they are not personally involved. All this to say that humans experience anger empathetically.

Everybody has the ability to learn this skill. The anger management test is designed to evaluate the manner in which you approach and handle anger inducing situations. There are questions describing situations that may not be relevant to you. You have to select the answer you would most likely choose if you ever found yourself in that type of situation. You have to examine the statements and choose the answer option that best applies to you. In order to receive the most accurate results, you must answer as truthfully as possible. Your answers will be interpreted and you will receive a brief personalized interpretation of your score that includes a graph and information on the test topic.
