WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Stress Susceptibility Questionnaire Test

stress resistance

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for perceived vulnerability to everyday stressors. The Stress Susceptibility Questionnaire asks respondents to rate typical reactions and coping tendencies in common situations.

It contains 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Scores are intended to provide a general indication of stress susceptibility and may help identify areas where stress responses are more likely to interfere with functioning.

The Stress Susceptibility Questionnaire is sometimes attributed to Richard S. Lazarus and Susan Folkman; however, attribution may vary across sources. Results should be interpreted cautiously and used as a preliminary indicator rather than a standalone diagnostic assessment.
