In brief : Social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, is much more than simple shyness.

Social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, is much 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 assertiveness difficulties. With 35 questions, it provides a detailed analysis of your social anxiety profile and recommendations tailored to your specific situation.

What the test measures

  • Anxiety related to everyday social interactions (conversations, meetings, exchanges)
  • Fear of failing or being judged negatively when performing tasks in front of others
  • Anxiety related to being observed, watched, or the center of attention
  • Difficulty asserting oneself, expressing opinions, and setting boundaries in social contexts

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

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

What your full report includes

Beyond the 5 free questions, the detailed PDF report (from EUR 1.99) includes:
