About this test

Volcano, slow burn, stuffer or cold front — your anger has a shape, even if you've never named it. 16 honest questions surface the one that actually leads. Most people use a mix; you'll find out which one runs the show.

Methodology

16 self-report items (4 per pattern) on a 5-point Likert scale. Inspired by Spielberger's STAXI dimensions of anger expression. Independent reformulation, not the official instrument.

Possible archetypes

Volcano · 0 to 100, instantly
You go zero to nuclear in one sentence and everyone in the room remembers it.
Slow Burn · Six-week list
You stockpile six weeks of grievances, then unload in one sentence.
Stuffer · Body pays the bill
You don't get angry, you get a stomachache. Your body keeps the score.
Cold Front · Weaponised silence
Your anger isn't a yell — it's a closed door for three days. They feel it.

FAQ + disclaimer
Is this the official STAXI?

No. It's an independent self-report quiz inspired by Spielberger's State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory dimensions (anger-in, anger-out, anger-control). Not affiliated with the official instrument.

How is it scored?

Four items per pattern on a 5-point Likert scale. Highest-scoring pattern of the four is reported.

Can I share with my partner?

Yes — that's often the most useful thing. The right-or-wrong of an anger style usually depends on context, but knowing your usual response helps both partners interpret the moments.

How long does it take?

About 3 minutes — 16 short statements.
