Stress Tests Hit the Streets around the World

An explanation of how stress tests work is given here by one of the people trained to administer them:
From Los Angeles and New York in the United States to Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, the churches of Scientology's free stress tests and Dianetics display tables are generating interest around the world.
Last year, as a public service, volunteer Scientologists and Dianetics counselors began providing free stress tests in the community. These can now be found in almost any city — at malls, railway stations, or virtually any area people frequent.
In New York, even in the freezing winter weather, volunteers can be found at tables cheerfully assisting interested persons in learning how Dianetics techniques can relieve stress.

Dianetics Displays and Free Stress Test generate a lot of Public interest

"Stress tests are done by Scientology volunteers on an E-Meter , a religious artifact Scientology counselors routinely use to aid parishioners in locating areas of stress and travail.
"The person giving the stress test, without needing to know what that person's life situation is, will point out when a reaction occurs on the E-Meter. Persons being tested will often wish to watch the E-meter dial themselves during the test.
"An amazing array of stressful situations comes up, from family situations and financial problems to regret over wrong actions carried out in the past. Something can be done about stress using the methods covered in the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health."
One story relayed was that of a volunteer in New York who discovered a young man whose father had died suddenly the previous week. He helped the man on the spot, working with him to de-intensify the shock and loss. Relieved, the man offered to pay but was told that this is a public service, designed to assist people in becoming aware of what is causing them stress and offering tools to relieve it.
