Stress Resilience Type (SRT)
Measures the extent to which a person shows stress-resilient (Type B) versus stress-vulnerable, time-urgent (Type A) behavior tendencies under pressure.
Stress-resilient (Type B)
Moderate / mixed traits
Type A-leaning (stress-vulnerable)
0 – 10: Stress-resilient (Type B) | 11 – 20: Moderate / mixed traits | 21 – 40: Type A-leaning (stress-vulnerable)
A score of 21 falls in the Type A-leaning range, suggesting a higher likelihood of competitiveness, tension, and impatience in stressful situations compared with more stress-resilient patterns.

Developed by Suzanne C. Kobasa and Salvatore R. Maddi, it consists of 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete.
