Steadiness

How strongly you react to stress, worry and setbacks, and how quickly you settle again.

Score band
Below 40

Low: Feels things intensely

You feel things strongly. Good news lifts you high, and stress, criticism or uncertainty can stay with you for a while. You probably notice problems early, sometimes before anyone else, which can make you a careful planner and a sensitive friend. The hard part is that worry can keep running long after it stops being useful. Simple habits like sleep, movement and talking things through tend to help you more than you might expect.

40 to 60

Balanced: Somewhere in between

You feel the ups and downs of life, but they rarely knock you off course for long. A tense week can get to you, and you can usually find your footing again once it passes. You take worries seriously without being run by them, which makes you fairly dependable when things go wrong. Pay attention to the signs that your reserves are getting low, so you can rest before stress starts to build.

Above 60

High: Calm under pressure

You stay fairly level when things get tense. Setbacks register, but you tend to recover quickly and rarely dwell on what you cannot change. Other people may lean on you in a crisis because you seem unshaken, and that calm is a real asset. Just remember that not everyone moves through stress at your pace, and that your own quieter feelings still deserve attention, even when you can carry on without them.
