Does your anger get out of control?
Do you know how angry you are?
Here is a 12 item scale to help you understand how your anger affects your life:
For each of the below, write down one of the following: not at all like me, a little like me, a lot like me
- I get frustrated easily
- I hate waiting or being kept waiting
- I get angry when I’m in a traffic jam
- Incompetence in others makes me angry
- My friends and family tell me I get angry too quickly
- I feel I get excessively angry
- It takes me a while to get over my anger
- If someone is rude to me I get very angry
- In discussions that turn into arguments, I’m usually the one who gets angry first
- It takes very little to make me angry
- I take criticism badly
