Questions people ask

Is Stress Check a medical diagnosis?
No. Stress Check is a self-reported reflection tool. It does not diagnose stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, or any medical or psychological condition. If you have concerns about your health, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
How accurate is the assessment?
The questions are inspired by widely used self-report frameworks such as the Perceived Stress Scale, adapted with plain, non-clinical wording. Your score is a snapshot of how you answered on one day — it is not a clinical measure and should not be treated as one.
How is my score calculated?
Each question is scored on a 0–4 frequency scale. Positively worded items are reverse-scored, then all items are averaged and rescaled to 0–100. Categories are: Low (0–25), Mild (26–50), Moderate (51–75), and High (76–100).
What domains does the assessment cover?
Perceived stress, sleep, work and study demands, emotional well-being, ability to relax, concentration, energy, and lifestyle habits.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Stress Check works fully anonymously and never asks you to sign in. You can take the assessment and view your results without registering.
Is my information stored on your servers?
No. Your answers stay in your browser's session storage while you complete the assessment and view your results. Closing the tab clears them. Nothing is sent to a server for storage.
