Your Score

YOUR SCORE:

{model.items_06}

Your clinical anger score is {model.items_06}. Scores of 13 or less indicate minimal clinical anger; scores between 14 and 19 indicate mild clinical anger; scores between 20 and 28 indicate moderate clinical anger; and scores of 29 or above indicate severe clinical anger.

IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

If you scored over 19, you might consider talking to a counselor who can work with you in developing a skillset to help you better manage your anger.

No matter what you scored, here are some tips from the American Psychological Association to keep anger at bay:

  • Use relaxation techniques like deep breathing and visual imagery.
  • Restructure your thoughts of anger and hostility to more rational ones. Try to remind yourself that anger does not solve problems.
  • Improve your communication by listening carefully, remaining calm and taking your time before answering.
  • Use humor to reduce tension and face problems constructively. Humor can help you not take yourself so seriously.
  • Change your environment and take a break from immediate surroundings that may be causing you irritation.
