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.
Compared
with other groups, this
profile is a poor
result, The
average score was 61
Anyone scoring more than 80 is putting up with a lot of 'background
noise'.
