In brief : Social anxiety manifests as an intense and persistent fear of situations where one may be observed, judged, or evaluated by others.

Social anxiety manifests as an intense and persistent fear of situations where one may be observed, judged, or evaluated by others. This test allows you to assess the intensity of your symptoms across four key dimensions: fear of judgment, social avoidance behaviors, physical reactions, and anticipatory anxiety. The results will help you better understand your relational difficulties and identify areas for improvement.

What the test measures

  • Excessive fear of being judged negatively by others.
  • Tendency to avoid social or interactive situations.
  • Bodily manifestations of anxiety in social situations.
  • Excessive worry before social events.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

  • Low social anxiety : Your level of social anxiety is low. You are comfortable in most social situations and do not experience significant discomfort in your interactions.
  • Moderate social anxiety : You show signs of moderate social anxiety. Certain 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 represent an important source of distress and you have likely developed avoidance strategies.
  • Very high social anxiety : Your level of social anxiety is very high and severely impacts your relational, professional, and personal life. Therapeutic support is strongly recommended.
