What this means

None of the three hidden dimensions this test scores stands out in your answers. When you are angry, you know it, and you call it anger rather than tiredness or stress. You tend to say so to the person within a day or so, in words rather than in silence or sarcasm. And you mostly give people the benefit of the doubt before deciding they meant it.

That combination matters more than it sounds. A lot of anger never shows up as shouting. It shows up as a stiff "I'm fine", a day of short answers, a joke with an edge or a running sense that people are out to take advantage. Those forms are hard to see from outside and easy to deny from inside, and they do much of the quiet damage in relationships. On your answers, your anger is visible, direct and mostly in proportion to what happened.

Where it can still catch you out

This test does not score the loud side of anger: how quickly you ignite and how hot it gets. Direct anger can still be too much anger. If you say what is wrong promptly but loudly, or the people around you have learned to brace when you are annoyed, the anger test looks at the fuse, the heat and the afterburn instead.

It can also vary by relationship. Many people are direct with friends and colleagues and much less so with a parent, a boss or a partner they are afraid of losing. If one relationship came to mind where none of this is true, that relationship is worth a closer look.

And the past month may have been an easy one. Long stretches of stress, unfairness at work or caring for someone often push anger underground, even in people who are usually direct.

What to do next

Keep saying it early. The habit that protects you most is the short sentence on the same day: "That bothered me, can we talk about it?" It keeps small things small.

Notice the exceptions. Think of the one person you are least direct with, and ask what you are protecting by staying quiet. Sometimes the answer is reasonable, because the relationship is not safe enough for directness. Sometimes it is a habit worth changing.

If there is a conversation you have been putting off, Lovon can help you find the words for it before you have it.

  • What is inhibited grief?

    Inhibited grief is grief that never gets out. The loss happened, you kept functioning, and the feeling stayed sealed…

The twelve statements on this test are written by Lovon around the three dimensions described above. This is not the Multidimensional Anger Inventory, the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory or any other published anger measure, and it does not reproduce their items.

There are no clinical norms behind the results. They describe which dimension stands out in your own answers, not where you sit against a population, and nothing here is a diagnosis.

If held-in anger has turned into low mood most days, or it has broken out at someone in a way that frightened them, talk to a doctor or a mental health professional.
