Social Anxiety Test: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score

Social anxiety shows up as an intense, persistent fear of situations where you can be observed, judged or evaluated by others. This test lets you assess the intensity of your symptoms across four key dimensions: fear of judgement, social avoidance behaviours, physical reactions and anxious anticipation. The results will help you better understand your relational difficulties and identify avenues for improvement.

In the article that follows, I explore anxiety and chronic worry. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a generalized anxiety test that helps you take stock of your everyday anxiety level. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.

What the test measures

• Excessive fear of being judged negatively by others.
• A tendency to avoid social situations or interactions.
• Physical manifestations of anxiety in social situations.
• Excessive worry ahead of social events.

How to read your score

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

• Low social anxiety: Your level of social anxiety is low. You feel comfortable in most social situations and experience no significant unease in your interactions.
• Moderate social anxiety: You show signs of moderate social anxiety. Some social situations make you uncomfortable, but you generally manage to face them despite the discomfort.
• High social anxiety: Your social anxiety is significantly elevated. Social interactions are a major source of suffering and you have probably developed avoidance strategies.
• Very high social anxiety: Your level of social anxiety is very high and severely affects your relational, professional and personal life. Therapeutic support is strongly recommended.
