I know that in general I am not super good at managing my stress in certain situations, but I did not know that it was that high. The resort showed that I use problem- focused strategies to cope with certain stressful situations. I think that a very interesting thing that was stated in the report is that one can modify one&#8217;s stressor to something else that can be dealt with better. I am not quite sure what that means but I am realizing that coming at it with a different approach and perspective can be something that is really helpful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the \u201cType A Personality Test\u201d I scored lower than I thought I did. Initially I thought that I was going to score at about a 75 for that one but in reality, I scored a 43. Within the report it stated that I usually have patience and empathy towards others but when I am in a stressful time I tend to lash out at individuals and stew up anger and frustration. Overall, I think that is quite human because when we are stressed it is so much easier to focus on oneself and protect what we think is valuable than being charitable. I think that I can certainly be a little bit type A, but I am not quite sure how one cannot be Type A in a world that demands productivity at such a high standard. Although this is the reality I was shocked to find out that I scored a 75, meaning a low score on the \u201cLife Stress Inventory.\u201d Luckily my life does not change so dramatically which helps my stress stay at a constant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoyed looking through this information.
