Are You Too Angry?
Several psychological tests have been developed to measure the extent and intensity of angry feelings. The outcome of the test will indicate how inclined to anger the person may be, and how well these situations are handled. By late teen years and early adulthood, the individual may sense that their responses to anger are of concern or they may have been told they have issues with anger control. When the person senses that they have lost control of their emotions and this becomes frightening, this individual needs assistance with controlling behavioral responses to anger.
