    Low Anxiety

    Low anxiety illustration You adapt well to modern life and even make the most of it. Ulcers, difficult digestion, and insomnia are not part of your routine. You likely found a pressure valve—sport, creative hobbies, or relaxation techniques—that keeps you balanced.

  • You scored points

    Normal Anxiety

    Moderate anxiety illustration Your calm isn’t unshakeable, but you generally handle stress and outside stimuli well. Before a tough challenge or exam, you may feel slightly more nervous—yet it passes. Talking to someone, taking a walk, or brief routines help you regulate. You’re not anxious by nature.

  • You scored points

    High Anxiety

    High anxiety illustration You tend toward significant anxiety—especially if your score nears 40. It can make everyday pleasures harder to enjoy and tilt your attention toward negatives. It’s easy to blame work or family, but often anxiety comes first and colors your mood. Talk to someone you trust and try a different perspective; changing how you face problems can sometimes help solve them.
