Questionnaire

In order to truly determine where you are in our world of ever-growing chaos you are urged to fill out a brief and enlightening Chaos Level Questionnaire which will allow you to rank where you stand or fall with the inundation of information that bombards us each and every moment.

In participating in the Living Chaos Free E-Learning program you will see your sustained improvement over a relatively short period of time.

Each time you review the list you will want to select the grading level of the statement which applies to you at this time.  The ranking is on a scale of one to four, with one being the least and four being the most.  This will let you know how well you are doing. You will be able to retrieve your score at any time and you will also be able to retake this test.
