What this test explores
Social anxiety is not just “being shy”. It can involve intense worry about being judged, avoided situations, and a strong focus on how you appear in front of others. This test gives you an indicative profile across four dimensions:
- Fear of negative evaluation – worry about criticism, disapproval or being seen as inadequate.
- Social avoidance – tendency to avoid gatherings, conversations or new people.
- Performance anxiety – tension in situations where you feel “on stage” (presentations, speaking up, etc.).
- Self-consciousness – strong focus on how you look, sound or move in front of others.
Answer honestly, thinking about how you usually feel and behave, not only in your very best or worst days.
How the test works
You will see one statement at a time. Choose how often it applies to you, from “Never” to “Almost always”. All questions are required to view the result.
How to use this result
A higher score does not mean there is “something wrong” with you. It simply suggests that certain social situations may trigger strong discomfort or self-doubt. You can use this information to notice patterns: what you avoid, what you fear, and where you may want new strategies or support.
You might find it helpful to talk about these themes with a therapist, counsellor or trusted person, especially if social anxiety is limiting your relationships, studies or work.
