Think about the past month as you remember it today. Choose how often each situation occurred, with no desired answer or target score.
Four original prompts ask about feeling rushed and room to pause or find a next step over the past month. They are written by FermatMind, with a parallel working English and Chinese edition. This form is not the standard PSS-4 or a validated replacement.
Public PSS material informed the brief past-month format, while WHO supplies general stress context. Neither source validates this item bank, scoring or translation. You can review the method and complete public guide without answering.
Responses range from zero for never to four for very often. Items one and three retain the chosen value; items two and four contribute four minus the chosen value. Their four contributions are added without rounding or normalization. All four valid responses are required.
For example, 3, 1, 2, 3 gives 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9. This is an original arithmetic recipe, not a low, moderate or high stress category. No population percentile, reliable-change threshold, clinical cutoff or risk probability is assigned.
Higher and lower totals describe the direction of these four responses, without establishing how well you cope. Different choices can produce the same total. Read one prompt alongside an actual scene if you want more context, without treating a number as a personal label.
The single full guide covers the whole range, mixed responses, the worked arithmetic, context and optional reflection. It is available before answering and remains the same public page for everyone. No score selects a private or severity-labelled URL.
Responses and the total stay in current-page memory. Reloading, changing language or leaving clears them. No account or answer history is created. Ordinary page analytics stays disabled; anonymous action counts require separate optional page permission and your site analytics consent.
Copying includes only the fixed public guide title and URL. It excludes responses, contributions and the total. You may stop at any point and read the guide instead of completing the check-in.
One complete guide covers the original 0–16 range, mixed responses, arithmetic and context. This public page contains no personal answers or totals and can be read before answering, without severity bands or personality labels.
Understand this original four-prompt total, different response patterns, everyday context and optional next steps without diagnostic cutoffs.
No. It is an original FermatMind brief reflection, with different prompts and reverse keys. It is not a standard PSS-4 score, authorized translation or validated substitute.
It adds four contributions from 0 to 4, after reversing prompts two and four. The possible total is 0–16. It summarizes this form’s answers rather than a diagnosis or a population rank.
This original form does not assign cutoff bands. A larger sum reflects more pressure-oriented responses under this recipe; it does not establish severity, illness or a need for treatment.
You can note circumstances if you choose, but this form has no established reliable-change threshold. Overlapping recall periods and changed memory affect comparisons. A small difference is not proof of improvement or deterioration.
All four valid choices are required for a total. You can leave at any point and read the complete guide without a score. There are no right answers.
Answers stay in current-page memory and clear on reload, language change or leaving. Copying shares the same public guide link for everyone, without a score or answers.
These sources provide background, not validation of this questionnaire or an individual diagnosis.
