In-Depth Social Phobia Test: What It Measures and Your Score

Social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, is far more than simple shyness. This in-depth test explores four essential dimensions of social anxiety: fear of everyday interactions, performance anxiety, fear of being observed and difficulties with assertiveness. With 63 questions, it offers a detailed analysis of your social anxiety profile and recommendations tailored to your specific situation. You can also discuss this in Psy Lounge, a voice space run by a CBT-trained AI.

In the article that follows, I explore social anxiety and fear of judgment. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a social anxiety test that helps you take stock of your anxiety in social situations. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote two books on this subject, My Mind Won’t Give Me a Break and Your Thoughts Don’t Have to Run Your Life, if you would like to go further.

What the test measures

• Anxiety linked to everyday social interactions (conversations, meetings, exchanges)
• Fear of failing or being judged negatively when carrying out tasks in front of others
• Anxiety linked to being observed, watched or at the centre of attention
• Difficulty asserting yourself, expressing your opinions and setting limits in social contexts

Take the test: Avoidant Personality Test → — When fear of judgement leads to lasting flight from social situations, it overlaps with avoidant personality: this test explores those traits as a complement.

How to interpret your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Low: You do not show significant signs of social phobia. Your social ease is within the norm.
• Moderate: You show moderate social anxiety that can be awkward in certain contexts but remains manageable.
• High: Your social phobia is significant and affects your professional, social and personal life.
• Very high: Your social phobia is severe and constitutes a major handicap in your daily life. Professional support is essential.
