The Work-Stress Quiz
The Primal Leadership Way
Your first stop is a short quiz that shows how you react under stress — and where you still have choice.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about seeing the habit that takes over when stress hits so you can interrupt it instead of repeating it.
Answer the questions as you would if you were at work and let yourself notice and feel the stress that is pressuring you in that scenario.
This quiz is pointed. That means direct, precise, and unmistakably aimed. If something it it lands hard or irritates you, that’s useful information. Strong reactions often point to the habit doing the most damage.
Under stress, your brain switches into a familiar mode to keep things moving. You might push harder, hold tighter, keep it together, or take care of everyone else. Most people don’t notice they’re doing it – they just feel the stress.
Each of these habits solves a short-term problem. Each one also creates long-term stress.
The quiz shows which stress habit – Driver, Controller, Performer, or Giver – is running your workday and causing the stress you feel, so you can start choosing differently where it matters.
