The Anger Test: How to Tell if You Have an Issue with Anger
Do you lose your temper quickly?
Do you find yourself yelling or screaming at people, even when it's not necessary?
Is anger impacting your relationship with your partner or children?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you probably have an issue with anger.
In this blog post, I will share a simple test that will help you determine whether you need to seek professional help for anger management.
What is Anger?
Anger is a natural emotion that we all experience from time to time.
It's a physical and emotional response to a perceived threat.
When we feel anger, our bodies prepare us to fight or take flight by releasing adrenaline.
Our heart rate increases, our breathing quickens, and our muscles tense up.
These physical changes give us the energy and strength we need to protect ourselves.
Anger is a natural emotion that we all experience from time to time.
However, while anger can be a positive force, it often leads to negative consequences.
This is especially true when anger is expressed in abusive or violent ways, such as swearing at other people, throwing things, or becoming physically aggressive.
When anger is expressed in these ways, it causes physical and emotional harm to both the angry person and the people around them.

Scoring the Anger Test
To score the anger test, add up your total score for all questions.
The scoring is as follows:
- If you score between 0-22, your anger levels are low. This means that while anger may not be a big problem in your life right now, anger may still be causing you some issues in your life.
- If you score between 23-38, your anger levels are moderate. This means that your anger is likely to be impacting the people you love the most-your partner, your children, your co-workers or your friends. it would be a good idea to seek professional help to deal with your anger.
- If you score 38 or above, your anger levels are high. This means that anger is a big problem in your life and is likely causing a lot of harm to the people you love. You must seek professional help to deal with anger before it causes even more damage.
