Stress is subjective - not measurable with tests. Only the person experiencing it can determine whether is it present and
how severe it feels. A healthcare provider may use questionnaires to understand your stress and how it affects your life.
If you have chronic stress, your healthcare provider can evaluate symptoms that result from stress. For example, high
blood pressure can be diagnosed and treated. When we’re stressed, the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens is
reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. The stress hormone cortisol can suppress the effectiveness
of the immune system (e.g. lowers the number of lymphocytes). Stress can also have an indirect effect on the immune
system as a person may use unhealthy behavioral coping strategies to reduce their stress, such as drinking and smoking.
Stress is linked to headaches; infectious illness (e.g. ‘flu); cardiovascular disease; diabetes, asthma, and gastric ulcers.
Coping is a dynamic situation-specific reaction to stress. Endler and Parker gave some major coping strategies. The
way we cope with stress often depends on rigid deep-seated beliefs, based on experience.

Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) is a multiple-choice test that measures abstract reasoning, spatial awareness,
and cognitive thinking. The test is administered as a nonverbal group test. The most common version of the test
consists of 60 questions.
The test is typically used to measure general human intelligence and is regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid
intelligence. It is one of the most common tests administered to both groups and individuals ranging from 5-year-olds to
the elderly.
The test was originally developed by Dr. John C. Raven in 1936. In each test item, the subject is asked to identify the
missing item that completes a pattern.
The test is considered a very effective and accurate tool for assessing cognitive thinking and intellectual capacity. A
larger number of correct answers than average indicates above-average intelligence, and vice versa.

32. Which type of test is represented in the picture? Is it an IQ test? (1)

33. What are the Raven's progressive matrices? What is the use of this test? (2)
