• 1-3 : Tendency toward asthenic and astheno-neurotic reactions

This range indicates reduced functional capacity, increased fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to stress. Individuals may exhibit low energy, emotional instability, irritability, or a tendency toward anxious and depressive responses. The condition often reflects exhaustion of the nervous system and a need for rest or recovery.
