Agoraphobia Test: fear of open spaces, crowds and transport

64 questions·10 min·5 dimensions·up to 18 clinical frameworks·6 report sections

Good morning,

This test looks at agoraphobia through four kinds of situations: wide open squares, transportation whose stops you do not choose, heavily crowded places, and enclosed spaces where the exits are few. The report looks for what these situations have in common — that common thread rarely lies in the place itself — and accounts for the way the list of trips you can face has narrowed.

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 64 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.

What the test asks, for example Anxiety If the thought of walking alone in a very open place worries you in advance. If you feel safe even when you are far from any shelter or help. Avoidance If you avoid large parking lots or wide open spaces. If you cross a large public square without feeling anxious. Hypervigilance If, in a crowd, you are constantly looking for a way out in case you need it. If you can stay calm even when surrounded by many strangers. Checking If you check where you could stop or get off before boarding any transportation. If you can use public transportation alone without needing to let a loved one know. Anticipation If the thought of taking a train or plane makes you anxious in advance. If flying is still an experience you approach calmly. The body If you feel overwhelmed in a dense crowd (concert, market, demonstration). If the physical closeness of others in a packed place does not overwhelm you. Isolation If, when you have to cross a wide boulevard on foot, you prefer to have someone with you. If you feel comfortable walking alone in a large open park. Control If you are afraid of being trapped or unable to get out of an enclosed space. If you can stay in a confined space for a long time without feeling the need to get out. Withdrawal If you avoid public events (fireworks, festivals, gatherings). If attending a party with lots of people is still a pleasure for you. Pleasure If you give up appealing outings for fear that there will be too many people. If you feel perfectly comfortable in the middle of a lively crowd. Plans If you plan your trips to avoid the types of transportation that make you anxious. If you travel calmly on public transportation, even during rush hour. Tension If traveling through a road or rail tunnel makes you tense. If you stay calm in a small windowless room, such as a fitting room. Readiness to change If your agoraphobia has a real impact on your daily life. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
