About this test
This test assesses a dispositional tendency toward disproportionate angry outbursts and low frustration tolerance, inspired by the State-Trait Anger model (STAXI, Spielberger) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (1992): frequency and intensity of outbursts, trigger threshold, mode of expression (verbal, physical), recovery and regret. Anger is a NORMAL emotion; this test measures neither dangerousness nor 'intermittent explosive disorder' (which requires clinical evaluation). Good news: CBT anger management is well proven.

- ●Frequency and intensity- How often anger outbursts occur and how intense they feel.
