62, makes no sense I'm really stressed about school
The test doesn't work too well for younger people. It seems more relevant to the 30+ demographic.

pretty easily for me...If they didn't have xmas + vacation (which, for me, are two of the most relaxing periods in my year...) I wouldn't have ticked any of the boxes.

Well even if it's short term, 3 months after I finally moved into the flat that I bought (my first property purchase), my stress levels went down so far I felt like I was on cloud nine, like nothing in the world could touch me. I felt like all the little annoyances of the day were insignificant compared to the fact that I was now a homeowner, on the property ladder -- a grown-up, with no financial worries whatsoever. So if I answered this 9 months ago, I'd have got WWAAAAYYYY more points, but would have probably been less stressed than I am now.

Meh I don't know. This test seems kind of silly. I'm very seldom stressed even when things happen to me that *should* make me stressed. For example, on arriving at the UK I very nearly got deported and was left for a night with near-no money, no accommodations, nobody to talk to, facing the prospect of being forced to return home before my stay had even started and just in general having absolutely no idea what I was going to do about it. I don't think I was particularly stressed or upset. I just took care of it. My parents and girlfriend were much more stressed about it than I was.

32. Transition back to school from work and Christmas, apparently.
Hmm, normal distribution but biased towards lower values.

Not quite the same but I've always liked the crossing borders in Nordic countries, especially in northern parts on Norway, Sweden & Finland were the only way to know for sure in which country one is in any given time were the lane paintings on the roads - very stress free traveling. Going to the Soviet Union was a 'bit' different.

A very inaccurate 88 (I put down less than 75 in the poll), because 1. Christmas did happen to me within a year, but I'm never stressed by it, and 2. I wasn't majorly affected by the death of my grandmother. It was sad, but not to the point where I ever broke down or anything. I actually never shed a tear.
I will say that my family's vacation to England did cause stress, but I doubt the effects of that stress still linger today.
