Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test looks at panic disorder and agoraphobia. It examines several aspects: how often the episodes return, their intensity, the places that have become difficult, and the attention paid to the body's signals. The report gives a precise description of them, and shows at which point in the sequence avoidance takes over from fear.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Panic Disorder & Agoraphobia Test (Panic Attacks) — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test looks at panic disorder and agoraphobia: attack frequency, intensity, the places that have become difficult, and bodily hypervigilance. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 18 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test covers the attacks, the body, checking, hypervigilance, control, avoidance, physical activity, anticipation, commitments and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example The attacks Whether an attack catches you on the sofa while you were quietly watching a film. Whether an attack cuts into your day in the middle of what you're doing. The body Whether, during an attack, a vice tightens around your chest and you put your hand on it. Whether a new sensation in your chest immediately strikes you as a danger. Checking Whether you count your breaths during the day to check that they stay regular. Whether you put your fingers on your wrist to count your pulse during the day. Hypervigilance Whether, from morning to night, you watch for the first sign of the next attack. Whether a slight dizziness when you get up from the sofa is enough to set off your worry. Control Whether, during an attack, you hold on to the edge of the table, convinced you are losing control. Whether, in the middle of an attack in the street, you feel you're no longer yourself. Avoidance Whether you walk a long way rather than shut yourself in on the subway. Whether taking the car to reach a distant city is hard for you even before you set off. Physical activity Whether you leave your sneakers in the closet for fear your heart will race during exercise. Whether, after physical effort, you watch for the moment your breathing gets back to normal. Anticipation Whether, from the moment you wake up, you wonder whether an attack will come during the day. Whether the attacks come back before you've had time to forget the previous one. Commitments Whether you turn down an invitation when the place seems hard to leave during the evening. Whether you turn down a group outing when you don't know the place well. Readiness to change Whether what you've just described weighs on your daily life. Whether you want to change the way you function day to day.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●How you see these episodes- How you explain to yourself why these episodes happen, before the test tells you anything at all. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it records your initial view, specific to this topic. Your answer is revisited in the section of the report devoted to it.
- ●Attack Frequency- The rhythm of the episodes, and above all how much they take up the time in between. The report treats these intervals as information in its own right, sometimes more telling than the number of episodes.
- ●Symptom Intensity- How much the body goes through during an episode, and how much room the feeling of losing your footing takes up. The report records these two sides, bodily and mental, separately.
- ●Agoraphobia- How your movements get reorganized around the possibility of getting out of a place. Here the report measures how much your territory has shrunk, regardless of what caused it.
- ●Bodily Hypervigilance- How closely you monitor your internal sensations. This attention makes ordinary variations noticeable, which in turn feed the monitoring: the report follows this loop.
- ●Readiness to Change- This dimension comes first: depending on how much weight you give these attacks today and how much you want them to change, the report offers suggestions of different scope.
Reference frameworks and authors
- DSM-5 criteria for panic disorder (American Psychiatric Association)
- based on Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS) (Shear, Brown, Barlow et al., 1997)

Agoraphobia
How your movements get reorganized around the possibility of getting out of a place. Here the report measures how much your territory has shrunk, regardless of what caused it.
Bodily Hypervigilance

Can I retake the test later?
▼
Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
What should I do with my results?
▼
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Can people close to me also take it?
▼
Yes. Each person gets their own anonymous, unique report, based on THEIR answers. Comparing profiles within a family or couple can be useful — provided each person takes the test honestly and on their own, without influencing one another during the answers.
