How this test works

This short questionnaire describes how calm you usually feel under pressure. You rate 16 statements, such as 'Worry about things', from 'Very inaccurate' to 'Very accurate' for how you generally are. Statements about worry are reversed, and all answers are averaged into one number from 1 to 5, where higher means calmer. You can skip any statement, but a profile needs all 16. The statements come from a free item pool used in personality psychology since the 1990s.
