About this test
Check how well you manage work pressure through stress perception, coping mechanisms, resilience, and work-life balance.
Use this reflection to notice patterns in your daily work, rather than to label yourself.
After getting a result, choose one small habit to try and review whether it makes your work easier.
After every choice, learn why the topic matters and try one practical workplace action. The prompts are for reflection, not right-or-wrong grading.
Example questions
You will answer scenarios like these during the test. No answer is sent to Stooper.
- Section 1: Stress Perception — I often feel overwhelmed by the number of tasks I have to complete.
- I notice physical signs of stress, such as headaches or fatigue, when I am at work.

- High Stress Risk — Needs Support — 0–46 points
- Moderate Stress Management — Needs Attention — 47–73 points
- Healthy Stress Management — 74–100 points
