Worry Quotient Inventory

Your worry quotient is the amount of time you spend worrying in any given day. Do you always second-guess yourself and mentally run through every possible scenario and all the potential risks? Do you find that after resolving one worry, you immediately identify something else to worry about?

Worry plays an important role in our lives. It can alert us to potential danger, inspire us to think creatively about ways to avoid negative situations, and even make us more closely observe those relationships we need to attend to. Some of the kindest and most empathetic people have a high worry quotient. However, if worrying is preventing you from writing a more satisfying story for your life, causing emotional stress and affecting your health, you can lower your worry quotient.

Rate yourself on the items using the scale below.

What Should I Do Now?

Thank you for completing the assessment. Based on your results, it's important to take the next steps in addressing your well-being.

  • Minimal Impact (0-20): Your symptoms seem to be mild. However, it's always a good idea to stay aware of your mental health. Consider practicing self-care, maintaining a healthy routine, and seeking support when needed. If you have any concerns, speaking with a professional might help guide you.

  • Low to Moderate Impact (21-40): Some symptoms are affecting your well-being. We recommend talking to a counselor or mental health professional who can provide you with the support and coping strategies to manage these feelings. Remember, it's okay to ask for help.

  • Moderate to High Impact (41-90): Your symptoms are more significant and might be affecting your daily life. Seeking professional help is highly recommended. A counselor or therapist can offer you the tools and support needed to start your healing journey.

  • High to Extreme Impact (91+): Your symptoms are severe and could be impacting your quality of life. It's crucial to reach out to a mental health professional immediately. They can help you work through your emotions and begin a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Don't hesitate to ask for help—it’s a brave and necessary step in your recovery.

Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. You're not alone in this. Whether it's talking to a loved one or seeking professional support, taking the next step toward healing can make a significant difference.
