Stress Test

An interactive stress test based on research done by Dr. Thomas H. Holmes and Dr. Richard H. Rahe. In 1967, psychiatrists Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe examined the medical records of over 5,000 medical patients as a way to determine whether stressful life events might cause illnesses. Patients were asked to tally a list of 43 life events based on a relative score. A positive 0.1 correlation was found between their life events and their illnesses. With this discovery, the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) or the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale was born.
