Anger and Impulsivity Test: Understand Your Reactions
63 questions·10 min·5 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 17 clinical frameworks·5 report sections
Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test explores anger’s frequency and intensity, your frustration threshold, how you express anger and how you recover. Feeling an emotion and acting on it are distinct. It does not diagnose intermittent explosive disorder or predict violence. If there is an immediate risk to you or someone else, seek appropriate local help without waiting for a result. Readiness to change is explored separately.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

Time If you find it hard to wait in line or in traffic. If you stay patient even when things drag on for a while. Conflict If being criticized for what you do tends to make you react badly. If you can be openly contradicted without being upset by it. Shame If you often feel ashamed or guilty after blowing up like that. If, once the anger passes, you move on without dwelling on it.

Mood If an argument puts you in a bad mood for the rest of the day. If, most of the time, you feel calm and in a good mood. Dialogue If you can become verbally aggressive when you lose your temper. If you express your disagreement while staying calm and courteous throughout. Plans If an unexpected hitch or setback in your day can quickly irritate you.

If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your reading of these outbursts of anger- How you explain your outbursts of anger to yourself, before the test tells you anything about it. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it gathers a starting reading, because the way forward differs depending on whether you see it as a lifelong temperament, something your life experience has made sharper, your current circumstances, or whether you simply don't know where it comes from.
- ●Frequency and intensity- How often anger outbursts occur and how intense they feel.
- ●Frustration threshold- How easily a setback triggers anger.
- ●Mode of expression- How anger is expressed: shouting, hurtful words, gestures, objects.
- ●Recovery and regret- Time to come down after anger, possible shame or regret.
- ●Readiness to Change- Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this topic on your life and engage in a process of growth.
Reference frameworks and authors
- based on Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) (Buss & Perry, 1992)

Why take this test?
▼
This test explores anger’s frequency and intensity, your frustration threshold, how you express anger and how you recover. Feeling an emotion and acting on it are distinct. It does not diagnose intermittent explosive disorder or predict violence. If there is an immediate risk to you or someone else, seek appropriate local help without waiting for a result. Readiness to change is explored separately.
The questionnaire explores 5 areas: Your reading of these outbursts of anger, Frequency and intensity, Frustration threshold, Mode of expression, Recovery and regret. Your answers support reflection, not a diagnosis. A separate module explores readiness to change; it is not another trait of the model presented.
