Scientology Stress Tests can pinpoint the exact point of stress in your life. Once you know what this is, you can do something about it.
If you've been to the Big Apple lately or walked down Hollywood Blvd you probably have seen the guys in the red Dianetics shirts, with the E-Meters and big signs saying "FREE STRESS TEST"?
Here is what they do.
You sit down and hold on to a pair of "electrodes " (metal cans) - no this won't hurt. You are then asked to think about people and situations in your life that may be causing you stress.

Getting rid of the negative emotion of past incidents which cause you stress in the present. Here is an on-line version of the Stress Test that you can do.
