Scientology Stress Tests - Do They Really Work?

Anyone been to the Big Apple lately or walked down Hollywood Blvd and seen the guys in red Dianetics shirts, with the E-Meters and big signs saying "FREE STRESS TEST"?

Here is how this works:

What they do is sit you down and give you a pair of cans to hold. You are asked to think about people and situations in your life that may be causing you stress. The meter reacts to thought as thought is energy. A small electrical current is passed from one hand, through your body and out the other hand. When you think of something stressful, your thought contains more electrical resistance which is measured on the E-Meter with a right motion of the needle.

I have seen this done myself and I have given Stress Tests. The result is quite impressive. I was able to pinpoint exact areas of people's lives that are causing them stress. After receiving the stress test, most people want to find out how to get rid of that stress.

This is what Dianetics is all about. Getting rid of the negative emotion of past incidents which cause you stress in the present.

Here is an on-line version of the Stress Test that you can do.
