Because I have too much time on my hands and lists are fun:
EJCC's Anger Levels:
Level 1: Anger can only be read in facial expression
Level 2: Anger can be read in facial expression and word choice (much more formal)
Level 3: Anger can be read in facial expression, word choice (colder), and tone of voice (irritated), but is still not acknowledged
Level 4: Obviously annoyed, occasionally making snide remarks or frustrated exclamations ("You really believe that?" "Why are you still doing that?" "This is bullshit!!"), and often laughing out of frustration; will feel bad after outbursts and apologize
Level 5: Raised voice, ready for a confrontation
-----------------
90% of anger is at levels 1-3, and a good deal of time is spent within those levels on a daily basis (what can I say, a lot of things irritate me)
Levels 1-3: Control is maintained; intense internal battle is occurring over how to filter pure rage and frustration into something civil and constructive
Level 4-5: Control is either in the process of being lost or is already lost; minimal fucks are given, if any
(There's nothing higher than level 5, or at least there hasn't been in about 10 years -- I don't yell or throw things or try to hurt people emotionally)
