A worksheet is a series of questions designed to give you an idea of where you are and where you're going--sort of like a road map. Generally, a good worksheet will give you an idea of:

• Where you are now--what problems you might be having, confused thoughts you might be thinking, and destructive behaviors you might be engaging in. A lot of people have anger issues and don't realize it. Anger management worksheets can help!


• Where you may be going if you don't change--this might only be suggested by the questions and your answers. Hopefully, these worksheets can be a kind of "wake-up call" to prevent problems from getting worse.


• What you might want to do to change direction==this part is not so much in the worksheet itself, but the worksheet will hopefully point you in the direction of some possible solutions to your anger problems. You will find many of the solutions on pages like this one.

This fast, easy anger test will get you started, and tell you whether you even need to go any further. Here is a sample of some of the questions you will find:

• Are you someone who "never gets angry?"


• Do other people think you're angry?


• Are you a teen looking for anger management for yourself?


• Do you find yourself often saying, "I'm not angry!"


• Are you critical of other people in your mind and thoughts?


• Are you critical of others when you speak to them?


• Do you blame others for your unhappiness or misfortune?


• Do you frequently lose patience with people or situations?

When you complete this quick anger test, it's easy to find out whether you need anger management help or not. If you already know you do, get your copy of our most comprehensive and indepth 4 CD anger management audio program now!

This assessment not only helps you measure your anger problem, it shows you your escalation pattern, how quickly you go from "0 to 10," literally! Here is what this assessment includes:

1. It gives you 10 levels of anger escalation, from "0" which is no anger at all, to "10" which is over the top and out of control!


2. After reading these 10 levels, you rate yourself on 4 different escalation patterns, the lowest being where you stay calm most of the time, with occasional mild anger and the highest being where you "go from 0 to 10 in a heartbeat.


3. Then you get a score, which tells you what kind of help you might need. For example, you might be pointed toward reading, listening to CDs, or anger management counseling.

This worksheet gives you a picture of your emotional wellness, which is one of the most important aspects of your overall health. When you complete the Emotional Balance Sheet, you will learn about your emotional assets and liabilities and develop a plan for increasing your assets and reducing your liabilities.

Examples of emotional assets are:

• Spiritual and philosophical beliefs that bring comfort, peace and tranquility


• Self-empathy--the ability to see your deep emotions clearly, and to have compassion for yourself (without self pity)


• Resilience--the ability to bounce back from poor emotional health and physical stress and difficulty


• Exercise/fitness program


• Self-reflection, journaling


• Meditation, prayer, spiritual practice


• Alignment between work and sense of purpose


• Good communication skills

Examples of emotional liabilities are:

• Low level of self-knowledge--little knowledge of your strengths and/or weaknesses


• Self-limiting beliefs


• Negative self image


• Depression, residual anger, chronic fear/anxiety


• Compulsive-addictive behaviors (food, sex, tv, internet, work, alcohol, drugs)


• Poor social skills


• Social isolation


• Dysfunctional relationships
