I usually come up with many ideas and things to do. I may accomplish one not in the best manner and never complete the others. My stresslevel would escalate when I have planned for example to do my school work and same time sign up for overtime at work within the same week. I find myself overstressed I will complete my work but might not do it very well. Sometimes I will have a slow week, level of stress diminishes but on the down side I will feel later like much of my time has been wasted. Im the kind that even when on vacation I still want to feel im doing something.
Holmes-Rahe Score
Complete the adaptation of the Holmes-Rahe scale at http://www.stresstips.com/lifeevents.htm , and note your score. Then briefly explain what your results mean and examples of implications they may have on your health. If you disagree with the evaluation provided by the instrument, explain why.
My score was 89
According to the Holmes & Rahe* statistical prediction model my score means a relatively low amount of life change and a low susceptability (about 30% probability) to stress-related illness.
Personality Type
Complete one of these “personality inventories:” http://www.psych.uncc.edu/pagoolka/TypeAB.html http://psychologytoday.psychtests.com/yahoo/anxiety/type_a_r_access.html
Describe the characteristics of your personality type from the results of the assessment, and provide examples of why you agree or disagree.
Type B
Yes I agree, my personality depends on the situation but majority of the time im calm and patient. I don’t rush into decisions and due to my busy schedule I tend to finish my work just on time.
Stress Reduction Technique
Participate in at least one stress reduction technique for the remainder of the course. There is no assignment component to submit and you will not be graded for this, but I hope you try something new and/or allow yourself time to continue in a technique that works for you!
