What’s Your Go-To Stress Response?

Because who we are when we’re calm isn’t always who we are when stress shows up.

We make plans when things feel manageable. We set goals when life feels steady. But the truth is, when stress hits, our patterns can take over. Sometimes it feels like we’re a completely different person.

Most assessments focus on personality. But personality can fly out the window under pressure. What actually shapes our choices in those moments is our stress response. And until we see it clearly, it can trip us up again and again.

This quiz is designed to help you uncover the stress pattern that shows up on autopilot for you. Once you see it, you’ll have language for what’s really happening underneath —, and a starting point for shifting out of reaction and into choice.

It only takes a few minutes, and the results might surprise you.Ready to see your stress pattern more clearly?

How to Take This Quiz

This quiz is designed to show you your default stress response, the place you tend to go when pressure hits.

When you answer:

-Go with your first instinct instead of overthinking.

-If more than one option feels true, that’s normal. Stress can show up in different ways.

-Choose the response that feels the heaviest or takes up the most space in your head when you’re under stress.

There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, just patterns. The more honest you are with yourself, the more powerful your result will be.
