Imagine that you have an important exam or presentation ahead of you. What would you likely think first?

Select an answer:

This is a challenge that I will prepare for as best as I can. If it goes wrong, nothing terrible will happen, there is always another way. I feel the pressure, but I know I can handle it in my own way. I am afraid I won't be good enough, but I will try to ignore it. I prefer not to think about it right now, I will deal with it later.

When you feel stressed, what activity helps you cope the best?

Select an answer:

Sport or physical activity to relieve tension. A conversation with someone who understands me. Music, drawing, or another creative activity that calms me down. Planning steps on what I can do to improve the situation. Postponing a stressful situation until I am ready for it.

How do you react when someone around you is experiencing stress?

Select an answer:

I am trying to help him and offer solutions. I will encourage him to find a way to cope with it. I want to cheer him up or distract his attention. My own stress worsens if someone else feels bad. I do not interfere, everyone has to manage on their own.

What is your relationship with rest and relaxation?

Select an answer:

Relaxation activities are as important to me as my responsibilities. I relax when the situation allows it, but I often feel guilty. I rarely realize that I need a break until I am exhausted. I plan my rest in advance to have a sense of control. I prefer to take a break spontaneously when I feel like it.

If you had to represent your stress as an object or situation, what would it be?

Select an answer:

A storm that comes quickly but eventually passes. A heavy backpack that I carry on my shoulders. A maze in which I must find the right way out. A race in which I must maintain the pace. A frozen lake where I am afraid the ice might break.

How do you feel when you're under pressure and don't have enough time to prepare?

Select an answer:

I know that I need to act quickly and efficiently. I will try to do my best within the possibilities. I feel very uncomfortable, but I can handle it. I often think about whether it could have been done differently, even after it's over. I would prefer to completely avoid that situation.

How does your stress manifest on a physical level?

Select an answer:

Tension in the muscles or headache. Increased heart rate and a feeling of nervousness. I need to eat more or sleep less. My concentration is decreasing, and I am making more mistakes. I feel nothing physically, but internally I know that I am under stress.

When you are under pressure, how does your decision-making process change?

Select an answer:

I act quickly and intuitively, I don't have time to hesitate. I try to be rational, but sometimes stress affects me. I am checking several options to be sure. I take longer to decide because I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake. I tend to procrastinate making decisions if possible.

What do you think about the statement: "Stress is useful because it motivates us"?

Select an answer:

I agree, but only if it is to a reasonable extent. For me, stress is more of a burden than a motivation. In some situations it helps me, in others it paralyzes me. It depends on whether I know how to handle it. I do not agree, stress only drains my energy.

How would you like to better manage stress?

Select an answer:

Learn to better plan and prevent stress. Having more techniques for instant tension release. Improve your ability to not be influenced by stress. To be better at recognizing when I need a break. To focus less on what I can't control.
