Scoring the Anger Self-Assessment Test. If you answered true to 10 or more of these questions, you are prone to anger problems and may choose to call yourself a rageaholic and join our fellowship. If you answered true to 5 questions, you are about average in your angry feelings, but learning some anger management techniques can make you happier.
you know the people who most need this test won't think its applicable to them :([QUOTE=buckeye]you know the people who most need this test won't think its applicable to them :([/QUOTE] I know, but I had to try....OMG Lynn, I really, really feel sorry for those that flunked this test. Just think of how they feel inside and what it does to the whole body. I think that they need our prayers more than our sympathy. Oh how pathetic!!!! Did you fail the test. I didn't.
Why is this pathetic? It is just a fun little compass to judge our own anger by.
