Frequently asked questions
The quiz is brief and should take approximately 3–5 minutes to complete. It contains 10 multiple-choice questions designed to provide a quick overview of your family's stress management strengths and areas for improvement.
Yes. The Family Stress Management Quiz is designed to be inclusive of diverse family structures, including single-parent households, multi-generational families, blended families, and roommates. Questions focus on dynamics, communication, and coping strategies that apply broadly.
No. The quiz offers a snapshot of family stress management and practical suggestions, but it does not replace professional diagnosis or therapy. If your family faces severe or persistent stress, consider consulting a licensed family therapist, counselor, or relevant community resources.
Scores are calculated by summing the point values for each selected answer (maximum 20). Higher scores indicate stronger family coping skills and resilience. Results are grouped into three bands—low, moderate, and high resilience—with tailored recommendations for each level.
Retake the quiz after significant life changes (e.g., moving, job changes, new baby), or every 3–6 months to monitor progress. Regular reassessment helps track improvements and identify new areas to focus on as family dynamics evolve.
