I scored 89 points on the first test. I think that this score is low because I do not have many responsibilities at this point in my life. I have financial assistance from my parents to cover the costs of college, and I have food and shelter provided for me. The reason why I scored 89 as opposed to zero was because I am about to exit college and enter the workforce, which will be a massive lifestyle change. The second test revealed that I had a high score in problem-focused coping. This means that I deal with stress by tackling problems head on, working hard to complete tasks, and formulating plans to eliminate the differing stressors in my life. I think that this is a healthy coping strategy, but it is difficult when stressors are completely outside of my control. The third test showed that I have a moderate score in impatience\/irritability. While I agree with this diagnosis, I think that since the score is so moderate, this is not too much of a concern. I normally hold myself, and others to an extremely high standard, and when that standard is not met, I get frustrated. Knowing these things about myself, I could come up with a more thorough post-grad plan, and practice consistent mindfulness\/meditation. Doing so would align with my problem-focused coping and would allow me to address my impatience in a healthier way. I also think that this solution is sustainable and scalable for when I score higher on the first test due to more responsibilities related to my family and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
