Full Anxiety and Stress Assessment: The In-Depth Anxiety Test

This mega test is the most in-depth assessment of anxiety and stress in the catalogue. Across 10 dimensions — generalised worry, social anxiety, panic, health anxiety, performance anxiety, physical symptoms, avoidance, chronic stress, rumination and functional impact — it maps your anxious functioning precisely. The further you go through this assessment, the more you understand what your answers reveal about your relationship with stress and anxiety — and what you can lean on to move forward. This assessment helps you identify the most active dimensions and the concrete levers for relief. It does not replace a professional opinion.

In the article that follows, I address anxiety and chronic worry. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I have designed a generalised anxiety test that lets you take stock of your day-to-day anxiety level. It comes with a guide to extend the reflection beyond the results. I also wrote two books on this subject, Overcoming Anxiety and Stress and The Practical CBT Guide, if you would like to go further.

What the test measures

• A tendency to worry excessively, persistently and uncontrollably about many everyday matters.
• Fear of being judged, watched or rejected in social situations, with discomfort and avoidance of others' gaze.
• The occurrence of abrupt surges of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms and fear of another attack.
• Excessive preoccupation with health, interpreting sensations as signs of serious illness, and repeated checking.
• Fear of failure and of evaluation in performance contexts (work, exams), with pressure and anxious perfectionism.
• Bodily manifestations of anxiety: muscle tension, digestive problems, palpitations, fatigue and hypervigilance.
• A tendency to avoid anxiety-provoking situations or to resort to safety behaviours that bring short-term relief but maintain anxiety.
• A lasting feeling of being overwhelmed, permanent tension and exhaustion linked to prolonged overload.
• A tendency to dwell on the past and to anticipate the future anxiously, with a mind that is hard to quieten.
• The repercussions of anxiety on sleep, concentration, mood, relationships and everyday activities.
• Measures your current readiness to acknowledge the impact of this issue on your life and to begin a process of change.

How to interpret your score

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

• Minimal anxiety : Your answers suggest a minimal overall level of anxiety and stress ({pct}%). All the dimensions assessed — generalised anxiety, stress reactivity, somatic manifestations, anxious cognitions and functional impact — fall below the reference clinical thresholds of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 type. This profile indicates that you currently have solid psychological resources for coping with the ordinary tensions of life. Research in clinical psychology emphasises that these regulation capacities are maintained through active daily practices rather than through the mere absence of difficulties.
• Moderate anxiety : Your answers suggest a moderate overall level of anxiety and stress ({pct}%). This profile indicates that certain specific dimensions — whether anxious cognitions, physiological reactivity to stress, or the impact on sleep and concentration — weigh more heavily than others on your balance. Without reaching the diagnostic thresholds recognised in the reference criteria of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 type, this level represents ground on which targeted preventive work is markedly more effective than passive waiting. A moderate profile left unaddressed tends, according to research in clinical psychology, to consolidate itself gradually.
• High anxiety : Your answers suggest a high overall level of anxiety and stress ({pct}%). This profile indicates that several dimensions are activated simultaneously — persistent rumination, heightened physiological reactivity, behavioural avoidance, impact on sleep or relationships — in a way that affects your daily functioning. The reference criteria of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 type place this level in a clinically significant zone requiring a professional assessment to refine the picture and identify the most relevant levers for intervention. Research in clinical psychology confirms that structured approaches such as CBT produce robust results at this level of severity.
• Very high anxiety : Your answers suggest a very high overall level of anxiety and stress ({pct}%). This profile indicates significant psychological suffering affecting several dimensions at once: the intensity of anxious cognitions, physiological reactivity, avoidance behaviours and functional repercussions all appear strongly activated. The reference criteria of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 type place this level in a zone requiring a thorough and prompt clinical assessment. Research in clinical psychology is clear: at this intensity, self-care strategies alone are insufficient and structured professional support is the most effective route to reducing suffering in a lasting way.

What your full report contains

Beyond the 5 free questions, the detailed PDF report (from €2.90) includes:

• Introduction : This assessment analyses your anxious functioning across 10 complementary dimensions. The further you go through this assessment, the more you understand what your answers reveal about your relationship with stress and anxiety — and what you can lean on to move forward. The results help you identify where to act first. This test does not constitute a diagnosis.
• Dimension-by-dimension analysis : Here is the detail of each of the 10 dimensions. The highest scores indicate the most active forms of anxiety in you: these are your priority areas of work.
• Overall score : Your overall score summarises the intensity of your anxiety across all dimensions. It situates your current level and the value of seeking support.
• Personalised recommendations : Based on your profile, here are the most useful actions. Focus on one or two dimensions at a time for lasting progress.
• Resources : To go further: breathing and heart coherence exercises, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and above all support from a psychologist (CBT) in cases of marked to severe anxiety.

The first 5 questions are free; the full, personalised report (your precise score, your profile by dimension, your recommendations) is paid.

When to take this test

• You recognise yourself in anxiety, stress, dread and want to see things more clearly.
• You want a structured reading rather than a vague impression.
• You are looking for an objective starting point before talking to a professional if needed.
