There is always a new quiz that is taking over TikTok and the latest one is the "Multidimensional Anger Test," which can apparently “map your experience of anger along multiple empirical dimensions". The test itself is from the IDR Labs website and says the quiz draws from the work of Dr Judith M. Siege and tests people's susceptibility to anger. “Analyses of Siegel’s work have found the test to have good psychometric properties in the form of high validity and test-retest reliability," the website reads.

At the end of the quiz, you get the results in the form of a graph where different aspects of anger are measured such as "Anger arousal," "Anger spectrum," "Hostile outlook," "External anger," "Internal anger," and the total score altogether. While the participants' scores are also compared with the population average so it appears you can see how you compare to the general public. Have your say in our news democracy.
