I feel hurried and pressured for time (i.e. not having enough time to get everything done at work or home). My activities and schedule push me to be as busy and active as possible, stretching me to the limits of my energy and capacity. When I experience annoyance, displeasure, or anger in the face of work and life stress, I tend to express how I feel and what I am thinking to others. I tend to be hard-driving and competitive at both work and play. While waiting in lines, I often find myself wondering why others are so ineffective (e.g. clerks, bank tellers, those ahead in line, etc.). I have a strong need to achieve, excel, and be the best in the things I get involved with. I tend to get annoyed and impatient when I have to wait for just about anything (e.g. traffic, shopping lines, slow service, late appointments, etc.). I tend to eat, walk, talk, and do most things as rapidly and quickly as possible. I tend to find it easy to let others know when I am feeling frustrated, irritated, or angry with them at work and at home. At work and home, I tend to check up on co-workers or family members to insure that things are being done properly. My involvement in non-work activities and hobbies provides me with a sense of meaning and purpose. By taking an active part in political and social affairs, people can strongly influence world events and politics. When all else appears bleak, I can always turn to my family and friends for help and support. I prefer to do things that are risky, exciting, and adventuresome rather than adhere to the same comfortable routine and lifestyle. Becoming a success is mostly a matter of working hard; luck plays little or no role. There are relatively few areas about myself in which I feel insecure, highly self-conscious, or lacking in confidence. In general, I tend to be a bit critical, pessimistic, and cynical about most things in work and life. It would take very little change in my present circumstances at work to cause me to leave my present organisation. I do not feel satisfied with my current involvement in the day-to-day activities and well-being of my family and friends. In general, I would prefer to have things well planned out in advance rather than deal with the unknown. Most of life is wasted in meaningless activity. I often feel awkward, uncomfortable, or insecure interacting with others socially. I rarely find myself saying out loud or thinking that I'm not good enough or capable of accomplishing something. I am committed to my job and work activities that I am currently pursuing. I tend to view most work and life changes, disappointments, and setbacks as threatening, harmful, or stressful rather than challenging. Just for variety's sake, I often explore new and different routes to places that I travel to regularly (e.g. home, work). Others will act according to their own self-interests no matter what I attempt to say or do to influence them. If I get a chance to see how others have done something or get the opportunity to be taught what to do, I am confident that I can be successful at most anything. I expect some things to go wrong now and then, but there is little doubt in my mind that I can effectively cope with just about anything that comes my way. Most of the things that I am involved in (e.g. work, community, relationships) are not very challenging, stimulating, and rewarding overall. I am likely to get frustrated and upset if my plans do not unfold exactly as I hoped or if things cannot get done in the way I really wanted. There is a direct relationship between how hard I work and the success and respect that I will have. I don't feel that I have accomplished much lately that is really important or meaningful with respect to my future goals and objectives in life. I often think that I am inadequate, incompetent, or less important than others with whom I work and that I know. Many times I feel that I have little or no control and influence over things that happen to me. If anything else changes or goes wrong in my life right now, I feel that I might not be able to effectively cope with it. When change occurs at work or home I often find myself thinking that the worst is going to happen. At the moment, things at work and at home are fairly predictable and any more changes would just be too much to handle. You can't really trust that many people because most individuals are looking for ways to improve their welfare and happiness at your expense. Most of the meaning in life comes from internal, rather than external, definitions of success, achievement, and self-satisfaction. Focus my thoughts on the most positive aspects of the event or situation (e.g. what I can learn from the event or situation or what positive consequences may result). Think about happier times, events, and experiences when confronted with problems and frustrations. Imagine things improving, getting much better, and feeling confident that I can handle it. Focus on what's bothering me until I feel more secure or comfortable about it in some way. Say and think positive things to myself to make me feel better about the stressful event or situation (e.g. "Everything is going to be all right"). Blame, criticise, and "put myself down" for somehow creating or causing my problem. Dwell on what I should have done or not done in a particular situation. Think about and focus on the very worst thing that could happen in a particular situation. Talk about it and bring it up with others excessively (i.e. "beating a dead horse"). Think about it constantly during the day and night (i.e. not being able to "let go" and avoid dwelling on what is bothering me). Minimise the significance of what is bothering me by making fun about it or joking about it (i.e. using humour to put the event or situation into perspective). Avoid thinking about it when it crosses my mind (i.e. able to put it out of my mind and stop dwelling on what is bothering me). Tell myself to get on with my life and to channel my energy into more productive approaches to minimise my frustration and dissatisfaction. Say things like, "That's enough thinking about this" or "Now is not the time to dwell on it" when I feel frustrated, irritated, or annoyed. Regard it as something that has happened and is over (i.e. "water under the bridge"). Talk with others and ask for their opinion, advice, recommendations, ideas, or suggestions. Ask others to modify or change their behaviour to make things better for me. Develop an action plan and implement it to cope more effectively with the situation in the future. Change the situation or modify my own behaviour to minimise or alleviate my frustration and dissatisfaction. Draw on my past experiences and figure out the best way to solve the problem or improve the situation in a productive and effective manner. Feeling happy and satisfied with your social life. Feeling stimulated and challenged by your work and life. Able to relax and enjoy yourself without difficulty. Feeling mentally and physically calm, relaxed, and free of tension. Waking up anticipating an exciting and interesting day ahead. Feeling sincerely loved, wanted, and supported by others close to you. Genuinely enjoying the things you are involved in. Feeling that your future looks hopeful and promising. Feeling positive, confident, and secure with yourself. Pleased with your life overall. Feeling committed to your present day-to-day activities and relationships. Feeling satisfied with personal and professional accomplishments. I have never been sick a day in my life. I have been depressed at least once in my life. I have never said a bad thing about someone else. I have never lied in my life. I always have bad thoughts about other people.
