What's Your Stress Response Style?
10 questions · about 2 minutes · free, no signup required
When life throws you a curveball, your nervous system has a go-to move: fight (confront), flight (escape), freeze (shut down), or fawn (appease). It fires before your thinking brain gets a vote.
This quiz reveals your dominant stress response style. Once you can name it, you can start catching it in the moment — and choosing a response instead of defaulting to one.
This free quiz takes about 2 minutes. Answer honestly — there are no right answers, and your result is a starting point for reflection, not a label.
