Your Anger Profile

Based on your responses, here's what we've learned about your relationship with anger:

Your Anger Type

Reactive Responder

You tend to experience sudden and intense bursts of anger, often in response to feeling disrespected or undervalued. Your emotions can quickly escalate, especially when you're tired or stressed.

Your Primary Triggers

The Science Behind Your Anger

When you feel disrespected, your amygdala (the brain's emotional center) activates quickly, triggering the fight-or-flight response. This happens before your prefrontal cortex (responsible for reasoning) can fully engage, which explains why you might say things you later regret. Additionally, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, causing physical tension and increased heart rate.
