Life is stressful! How do you react to the stressors of fast-paced living? Do you have the resilience to withstand life's trials? Are you a survivor? Find out with the Coping Skills Inventory.

Everybody is exposed to stressful situations, both positive and negative. Stress is an integral element in the lives of all creatures, and it plays an important role in survival. Nevertheless, stress can have negative effects on our physical and emotional health. Interestingly, what matters is not the number of stressful situations that we are exposed to nor the amount of stress that we have to withstand. More important is our perception and subjective interpretation of the stressor, and how we react to it. This depends on the personal arsenal of coping skills we have.
