TikTok is a social network through which different short videos with tests and challenges have gone viral, one of them is trend of the multidimensional anger test of which many are sharing their results.
This is a test designed by Dr. Judith M. Siegel, currently professor emerita in the Department of Community Health Sciences at UCLA, which can be mapping each person’s experience of anger along “multiple empirical dimensions.”
The psychometric properties of the multidimensional anger test have earned Siegel his work frequently used in a variety of clinical and research settings.
The test has 38 questions, and has repeatedly been shown to be accurate in tests of anger stimulation, meaning that it reflects the frequency and magnitude of anger responses.
Additionally, it measures the range of anger-provoking situations that the respondent is likely to trigger and the respondent’s general orientation toward a hostile view of the world.
Although many of the trends about mental health on platforms like TikTok may be based on inaccurate information, this viral challenge about sharing the results that users obtain on the anger test can be a first step in recognizing a possible weakness and working on it.
These types of viral challenges become a safe environment to deal with the nuances of personality and temperament, so it could be a step forward to ensure mental well-being.
