    This document presents the Clinical Anger Scale, a 21-item self-report questionnaire used to assess levels of anger. Respondents select one of four statements for each item that best reflects their feelings, with options ranging from no anger to severe anger. Total scores are calculated by assigning point values to each response and interpreted using a scoring guide. Higher scores indicate more clinical anger, with 29-63 considered severe. The scale measures anger across domains like mood, outlook, reactions to others, physical symptoms, and ability to function.
