Workplace Stress Test
A questionnaire based on the 23-item Brief Job Stress Questionnaire, helping you reflect on job demands, stress reactions and support at work. It takes about 6 minutes to complete.
Instructions
Answer 23 questions about your job, how you have felt during the past month, and support from your supervisor and colleagues. Choose the answer that best matches your situation.
Your result is a simple sum, normalized so that a higher score means greater burden. It does not apply the official subscales or Stress Check Program criteria.
Important: This is a personal self-check. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace a legally compliant employer-run stress check in Japan.
