That is a good score because under 150 means relatively low risk. 150-300 points means a 50% chance of risk of a major health breakdown in the next 2 years. Above a 300 is very bad with the chances being around 80%. I feel very happy about a score of only 100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">A score of 100 on the LSI suggests that at this point in my life not much is changing. This isn&#8217;t really the case, but in the test it states many possible changes that could have an effect on your stress and mental health. It&#8217;s not a claim to having superior coping skills but rather an acknowledgment of a smoother ride through life&#8217;s challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-electric-grass-gradient-background has-background\">Of course, it&#8217;s important to note that a low LSI score doesn&#8217;t guarantee a trouble-free existence. Life has its way of presenting unique challenges to each of us, and my score reflects a particular chapter where the waves of stress have been more gentle. I was glad to see that with a lot of changes, that we all are going through throughout our college careers, I wasn&#8217;t at too much risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\">In the grand scheme of things, we all navigate our own paths. My LSI score serves as a reminder to appreciate the moments of tranquility and recognize the privilege of facing fewer tumultuous waves. I could easily look back at different times in my life where my score would have been much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-electric-grass-gradient-background has-background\">In conclusion, I hope my score on the Life Stress Inventory is correct in gauging my mental health and my stress. Life&#8217;s stressors may come and go, and for now, I&#8217;m appreciating the serenity that a score of 100 brings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.\u00a0Take the Life Stress Inventory Recently, I took the Life Stress Inventory (LSI), and the results surprised me I got just under 100 points.
