Is stress quantifiable? Can it be measured in any REAL way? Or is it relative/subjective? I keep coming across disingenuous shit like this:

>Measuring blood pressure and levels of inflammation are two physical examples of assessing stress.
>Stress already has been quantified. Probably the most famous, validated stress test of all time is the Social Readjustment Rating Scale, created in the 1960’s by psychologists, Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe. They attempted to QUANTIFY all the major stressful events that might occur in a person’s life. They decided that the death of a spouse was the most difficult thing that a person could go through in life so they arbitrarily gave this event the value of 100 and worked down from there.
