The score of a normal, fit and healthy human being is less than 20.
Higher scores are symptomatic of dysfunction of one or more body systems.
People with low levels of fitness and high levels of stress usually score well over 100.
For people with a score of more than 80, the ‘background noise’ of their life is becoming louder and louder. It is hard to concentrate on your work when body systems are dysfunctional.
We know a fit and healthy group when we see the majority of scores below 40. This was not the case with this group.
By and large higher scores are usually a reflection of
• low levels of fitness
• an inability to deal with what life and work are serving up to people.
Remember, it is not what happens, but how we deal with what happens that determines our level of stress.
Classification of average scores: Excellent - less
than 40. Good - 41 - 50. Reasonable 51-60. Poor - over 60.
This profile is described as poor.
The
average score was
67.
Anyone scoring more than 80 is putting up with a lot of 'background
noise'.
Health Climate Survey
Based on scores received in the Health, Fitness and Wellbeing
profile we've compiled a Health Climate Survey. Scores on each item have
ranked - the higher the score the worse the problem. We added the scores
for each item. The results appear in the table below.
