Anger Issues Test: Decode Your Triggers and Find Your Calm
Personality
Take this free 20-question Anger Issues Test to understand your emotional patterns. Discover if your frustration is a temporary reaction or a deeper cycle needing attention.
You know the feeling: the sudden rush of heat in your chest when a website won't load, the replay of an argument that keeps you awake at 2 AM, or the snappy comment that slips out before you can stop it. Anger is a natural, human emotion—a signal that something is wrong. But when that signal gets stuck in the "ON" position, it stops being a helpful alert and starts becoming a heavy load to carry.
This Anger Issues Test is designed not to judge you, but to help you read that signal clearly. It cuts through the noise of a bad day to reveal the deeper patterns of how you process frustration. Whether you tend to explode outwardly or seethe silently, understanding your unique "anger style" is the first step toward reclaiming your peace of mind and your relationships.
Anger often feels like a fog—it happens fast and leaves you wondering, "Why did I react like that?" This assessment acts as a mirror, helping you see:
At its core, "anger issues" is not a clinical diagnosis but a term used to describe when the intensity, duration, or expression of anger begins to negatively impact your life. This test explores the psychology behind your reactions.

This assessment draws on established psychological frameworks such as the Multidimensional Anger Inventory (MAI) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. It distinguishes between the feeling of anger (physiological arousal), the thought patterns (cynicism/hostility), and the behavior (expression vs. suppression).
The test consists of 20 questions and typically takes about 3–5 minutes to complete.
Tip: Try not to overthink. Your first instinct is usually the most accurate reflection of your true feelings. Be honest—there are no "wrong" answers, only data to help you learn.
We use a 7-point scale to measure the intensity of your responses. Your total score places you into one of four distinct severity categories, while your sub-scores help generate the specific advice in your profile.
This test is especially helpful if you:
Please consider seeking professional help instead if:
We don't just give you a number; we provide a narrative that explains how you experience anger and why. Your result will classify your current state into one of these four standard categories:
Your full report will also include:
A "High" score does not mean you are a "bad person." It simply means your nervous system is currently stuck in a protective, reactive mode. Habits can be retrained. Neuroplasticity means you can literally "rewire" your brain to react with calm instead of chaos.
We will suggest immediate "circuit breakers" (like the 24-hour rule or cold-water tech) for when you see red, as well as deeper strategies (like cognitive reframing) to lower your baseline stress over time.
This Anger Issues Test is provided for educational and self-exploration purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool and is not a substitute for professional psychological evaluation or medical advice.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, or if you feel you are a danger to yourself or others, please contact a local emergency service or a mental health crisis hotline immediately.
You navigate life with a steady hand, viewing anger as a passing cloud rather than a storm to live in.
You generally keep your cool, but certain sparks can still start a fire that lingers longer than you'd like.
Anger has become a frequent visitor in your life, often overstaying its welcome and clouding your clear skies.
