The science behind it
Stress research has never treated stress as a single quantity. What predicts how a person actually fares is the relationship between three things: how much is arriving, what the body and mood are doing underneath it, and how much capacity is left to absorb the next thing. The same workload lands very differently on someone with room to spare than on someone already running on the last of what they have — which is why one number cannot describe it. A second finding shapes the items here: how controllable the demands are matters nearly as much as how many there are. The same amount of work is a different experience for a person who sets the order and the pace and a person who does not. This check uses that three-part shape over the last two weeks, on a five-point frequency scale, with items written for MoodyWonder. It is not the Perceived Stress Scale or any licensed instrument, and it does not diagnose anything. A high score says where the weight is sitting, not what is wrong with you.

This is a screening-style questionnaire, not a diagnosis. It reads how often certain experiences happen to you and compares that with other people; only a clinician can assess what it means for you. If the result worries you, take it to one.

Common questions
How is this different from the stress response test?
That one measures style: what you turn into when pressure arrives — whether you speed up, shut down, take over, or go quiet. This one measures quantity: how much is on you at the moment, and how much room you have left. They are independent. Two people with the same response style can be carrying wildly different amounts, and the same person's style barely moves from year to year while this score moves with the month. If you want to know what you do under pressure, take that one. If you want to know how much pressure there currently is, this is the one.
How is this different from the burnout test?
Burnout is an end state — what is left after the fire has been out for a while: exhaustion, distance from the work, and the sense that nothing you do lands. This measures how much is burning right now. The two are not points on one line, and they need opposite things. High stress with reserve still in the tank responds to less load and real recovery. Burnout is past the point where reducing load is enough on its own. You can score high here and not be burnt out at all, and that is genuinely good news about timing.
Two weeks is short. What if I just had a bad fortnight?
Then the score describes the bad fortnight, which is what a screening window is for. Retake it in a month. If it stays high across windows, that is a pattern rather than a stretch, and a pattern is the thing worth acting on — a single hard fortnight mostly needs to end. The window also cuts the other way: a quiet two weeks inside a hard year will read as steady. If that is your situation, trust the year.
My score is high. What do I do first?
Look at which of the three bars is highest before you do anything. If strain and reserve are driving it, the standard advice — sleep, movement, actual time off — is aimed at the right target and tends to work. If load is driving it, that advice will mostly make you better at tolerating an amount that should not be tolerated. Reducing the number of things, or getting back some say over their order and pace, is the intervention that matches. It is the less popular answer and it is the accurate one.
Can this tell me whether my stress is a medical problem?
No. It compares how often three kinds of experience showed up in the last two weeks with what other people report. It cannot tell the difference between stress, an underactive thyroid, anaemia, a sleep disorder, depression, or the ordinary aftermath of a hard year — several of those produce this exact profile. If a high score has been going for months, a doctor is a reasonable next step, and the physical impostors are worth ruling out before you conclude it is all circumstance.
