Here are 3 stress-management quizzes you might like to try. The
questions and scoring are based on a certain mindset and assumptions,
but the scoring system is later revealed and they are guaranteed to
give you, at the very least, some useful food for thought.
How about posting to CHEAL to tell us what you think of these quizzes?
The 3 quizzes are listed below, followed by a list of links to
related stress management resources.
1. Are you a workplace time-waster?
-----------------------------------
Do you meet deadlines, or hide under your desk until they've gone
away? Is your in-tray cleared by 9.30am, or has your desk become so
swamped with paper you've forgotten where your in-tray is? Find out
with our quiz.

2. Are you in the right job?
----------------------------
Ever get that nagging suspicion that your job just isn't right for
you? That you're making your way up the corporate ladder when really
you'd be better suited as a market gardener - or vice versa? Take our
quiz and find out what sort of job you really ought to be doing.

The questions seemed a bit stange (they are based on a certain
mindset of popular career assumptions) and inflexible, but it did
come up with the right answer for me.
3. Are you a workaholic?
-----------------------
Do you spend so much time in the office that there's a sofa in the
corner with your name on it, or do your colleagues fail to recognise
you when you finally take a break from all those sickies to come in
for a day? Find out with our quiz.
