Various psychological tests exist that measure how well you handle anger, the intensity of these feelings, and how prone you are to anger.

More simply, if you find yourself acting in ways that are frightening or out of control, you should seek help from a professional.

This will help you develop better coping skills and strategies for dealing with anger.

 

Why Are Some People Angrier Than Others?

Dr. Jerry Deffenbacher, a psychologist specializing in anger management, believes that some individuals are more “hotheaded” than others. These types of people get angry more easily and more intensely than the average person.

Chronically irritable and “grumpy” people, on the other hand, may not express their anger in loud, spectacular ways, yet they may still be significantly affected by it. In these cases, anger usually manifests itself in other ways, for instance, through sulking or developing an illness.
