The Anger Issues Test (DRD-AIS15©) was developed by Deen Mohd, who conducted research on anger management and anger issues. The scale was created for educational purposes, aiming to determine the presence of anger issues among the population and identify any potential problems that may contribute to difficulties in managing anger.

How accurate is this self-assessment?

Anger is a natural emotional response that everyone experiences from time to time, but if you experience anger in an alarming mode and have difficulty calming down, you may ask yourself if you may have anger issues. The anger issues scale provides you with insights into your anger patterns and helps you identify any potential problems that may contribute to difficulty managing your anger.

The accuracy of this psychological self-assessment for anger issues depends on various factors such as how honestly and accurately you responded to the questions provided in the test. The Deenz Anger Issues Test has shown a high level of reliability in our research data.

However, self-tests are not considered accurate for the diagnosis of anger issues. If you are concerned with your anger issues, you should seek professional help for a proper diagnosis and to determine whether you may need treatment.

Who is eligible to take this self-assessment?

If you are under the age of 13, you must take Deen’s child anger issues test designed specifically for children aged 13.

Everyone can experience anger issues, but the manifestation of anger can differ between genders. For example, men can express their anger aggressively or may be physically violent, while women may hide their anger or express it in a passive-aggressive way.

However, this test has shown accuracy in both men and women, so there is no need to provide separate self-tests on a gender basis.

Anger Issues FAQs

Is anger issues a mental disorder?
If you have anger issues it does not necessarily mean you may have symptoms of any mental health condition but if your anger gets out of control and it interferes with your personal and professional life then you may need to seek professional help for diagnosis of your anger issues. If you are experiencing chronic anger and aggression then it may be a sign of some mental health conditions such as borderline personality disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, or post-traumatic personality disorder. The mental health professional can make a proper diagnosis and may help you develop a treatment plan such as cognitive behavioral therapy and sometimes medications for stabilizing your mood.
What causes anger issues?
The causes of anger issues may vary from person to person but some common causes of anger issues can be genetic, social and environmental, financial problems, stress, and trauma or abuse. As mentioned earlier, some mental health conditions can also be the cause of anger issues such as BPD, PTSD, and Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
How do I know if I have anger issues?
If you are experiencing frequent, intense, and uncontrollable outbursts of anger, you may have a problem expressing anger in a healthy way. However, if your anger causes difficulties with your day-to-day activities and causes problems in relationships, it may be considered an anger issue. People with anger issues not only have problems controlling their anger but also have problems considering the consequences of expressing their anger in an aggressive way.
What age do anger issues start?
The development of anger issues can start at any age. In childhood, expressions of anger start with crying and physical aggression, but their emotions are developing and they typically learn ways to express them, so we cannot diagnose anger issues at this stage. However, it is important to note that the root cause of anger issues may be childhood experiences.
Is Deenz anger self-test valid?
The main purpose of this self-test is to help you find out whether you might have signs of anger issues, but this tool is NOT designed to help you self-diagnose anger issues.
