Stress Tolerance Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to provide a brief self-report estimate of an individual’s perceived capacity to manage pressure and unexpected demands. The Stress Tolerance Scale can be used as an initial screening tool to support clinical interviewing, coaching, or workplace consultation.
It consists of 38 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items assess common cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to stressors and can help identify areas of relative resilience as well as potential vulnerability. Results should be interpreted in context of the referral question, current stress load, and other assessment data rather than used as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
The Stress Tolerance Scale is attributed here to Richard S. Lazarus and Susan Folkman. It may be administered to adults and can inform discussion of coping patterns and targeted stress-management strategies when clinically indicated.
