Brief Stress Tolerance Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to screen perceived stress tolerance and common stress-related vulnerabilities. The Brief Stress Tolerance Scale provides a rapid snapshot of how an individual appraises and manages demands that may be experienced as stressful.
The instrument includes 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture general resilience under pressure and perceived sensitivity to stressors, supporting clinically informed discussion of coping patterns and areas that may benefit from additional support. The Brief Stress Tolerance Scale is attributed to Richard S. Lazarus and Susan Folkman.
