Anger Check

Our Anger Check can serve as a screening tool to get a better sense of the frequency and intensity of anger in your life.

Each question asks about a different aspect of anger and how often it has been affecting you over the last four weeks.

Let’s get a better sense of how intense your anger has been lately using this Anger Check.
