  You likely respond to challenges with calm or occasional irritation that doesn’t significantly impact daily life or relationships.

  You may experience anger in specific situations, but it typically remains manageable. Occasional frustration is present, but emotional control is generally intact.
   

• 24–35: Moderate Clinical Anger
  Anger may arise more often, potentially affecting work, relationships, or overall well-being. Emotional regulation may feel difficult, and irritability or outbursts might disrupt daily life.
   

• 36–63: Severe Clinical Anger
  Anger may feel overwhelming, intense, or constant. It likely causes significant problems with functioning, emotional health, or relationships. Immediate evaluation or intervention is recommended.
