Should you change your job?

You find that your job:

All questions are required

Makes you feel stressed from time to time
Sometimes gets you down
Often preoccupies you
Makes you feel very distressed

How often do you laugh?

All questions are required

Regularly
Sometimes
Not very often
Never

How do you feel about work when you’re on holiday?

All questions are required

You don’t give work a moment’s thought
You just feel glad to be away from it
You think about it a bit at first, but then you forget about it
You think about it all the time

There’s a tense atmosphere in the office. You:

All questions are required

Tell jokes to get everyone smiling again
Pretend not to notice
Accuse people of being moody
Try and shut everyone else out

When you look at your diary you:

All questions are required

Look forward to being busy
Wonder how you’ll deal with having so much on your plate
Doubt it will be possible to fit everything in
Feel sick

You don’t have much time left to finish writing an important document. You:

All questions are required

Roll up your sleeves and get on with it
Feel stressed
Shout at anything that moves
Can’t make a start at all – it’s as if you’re paralysed

You’ve just found out that you aren’t going to be offered a job you went for. You:

All questions are required

Set up a meeting with the HR manager to find out what went wrong
Go and let off steam to a colleague
Slam the door behind you
Think you were stupid to go for it in the first place

A colleague makes an unfair criticism of your work. You:

All questions are required

Are ready with a clever come-back
Leave the room, muttering under your breath
Explode with anger
Burst into tears

You are leaving the office when you find yourself in a lovely patch of sunshine. You:

All questions are required

Stop and close your eyes to make the most of it
Smile to yourself
Check the time
Don’t notice

When you get into bed at night you:

All questions are required

Feel at ease
Breathe a sigh of relief
Think about your day
Dread trying to get to sleep
