Anger Test – How Do You Experience and Express Anger?
Anger is a normal human emotion, but the way we feel it, express it and manage it can make a big difference in our relationships, health and daily life. Some people explode quickly, others bottle everything up until they feel overwhelmed, and others learn to recognise anger early and respond in a more balanced way.
This situational anger test presents 30 everyday scenarios and asks how much anger you would feel in each one. It does not judge you and it is not a diagnosis; it simply helps you see how intense and how frequent your anger reactions tend to be.
Your answers are combined into an overall anger reactivity score and several sub-dimensions (e.g., feeling ignored, practical inconveniences, relational tensions, emotional disappointment). This can highlight the situations that trigger you the most and where you might want to develop new coping strategies.
Try to answer honestly, based on how you usually behave rather than how you think you should behave. The more sincere you are, the more useful the feedback will be.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Anger Test
Is this anger test a clinical diagnosis?
No. This test cannot diagnose anger disorders or other conditions. It is an informational tool that helps you reflect on how you typically react in frustrating or unfair situations.
What does the overall anger score mean?
The overall score gives a general indication of how intense and frequent your anger reactions tend to be across different situations, from very low to very high. It does not say whether your anger is justified; it simply describes your pattern.
What are the sub-dimensions of anger?
The sub-dimensions highlight which contexts trigger you most: feeling ignored, practical inconveniences, lack of responsibility from others, impatience and intolerance, relational provocations or emotional disappointments. Each area is shown as a percentage.
What if my anger result is high?
A high score suggests that anger may frequently create tension for you or for people around you. It does not mean that you are a bad person. It may be a sign that you could benefit from learning early warning signs and new coping strategies.
When should I consider professional help?
If anger leads to conflicts, impulsive actions, aggression, problems at work or in your relationships, or if you feel out of control, it can be very helpful to talk with a mental health professional. This test can be a first step toward awareness, not a solution by itself.
