Analysis:
This questionnaire is mainly divided into two parts. Part I is about the subjective emotion which reflects your overall feelings about your life and your response to the external pressure.
Part II is about the vitality of your life which indicates whether you are an energetic or spiritless person. Stress score ranges from 0 to 18 whereas Fatigue Score ranges from 0 to 12. For Part I,
the higher the mark you get, the more the negative emotions and press you have. For those items about the vitality, the higher the mark you get, the more exhausted and less energetic you are, implying that you are being under constant pressure.
