knowledge workers audited their stress triggers with this tool
16 high-impact questions across cognitive, physical, and workload stress

Receive warning signs plus a recovery checklist
Mental Load
Racing thoughts, replaying conversations, and difficulty switching off.
Body Feedback
Fatigue, gut changes, headaches, and tension that won't release.
Workload Pressures
Task overflow, constant context switching, and blurred work-life boundaries.
Recovery Gaps
Minimal rest, skipped hobbies, and little emotional bandwidth for relationships.
The stress level test combines occupational health research, mental health surveys, and burnout models. It highlights your biggest leverage points so recovery becomes intentional, not accidental.
- Replace adrenaline loops with calm starts—hydration, sunlight, and movement in the first hour.
- Protect deep sleep by setting tech curfews and recovery rituals each night.
- Introduce breathing or grounding exercises before high-stakes conversations.

Is this stress test medical advice?
No. This stress assessment highlights burnout risk factors using evidence-based workplace wellbeing research. If symptoms persist, seek advice from licensed healthcare providers.
How can I use the results with my team?
Review the heat map together. Adjust meeting load, clarify priorities, and set shared focus blocks. The report gives language to request support or rebalance workloads.
What if my score shows high stress?
Schedule rest immediately, inform someone you trust, and contact a therapist or doctor. Use the recommendations as a stabilizing checklist, not long-term treatment.
How often should I retake the stress quiz?
Retake monthly or during intense seasons (launches, exams, caregiving). Tracking trends prevents burnout from sneaking up on you.
