Social Anxiety Test

Post Reply New Topic

Your Score: 75

What the score means:
Social anxiety disorder has been divided into subtypes:

1. a generalized subtype, in which the individual experiences significant anxiety in most social situations
2. a subtype that applies to various specific phobias such as public speaking, eating in public, or urinating in a public facility or when others are waiting.


Score 0-30 SAD unlikely
If performance in a particular situation, such as public speaking is impaired, could still meet criteria for a diagnosis.

Score 30-60 SAD probable
Scores in this range are typical of persons entering treatment for the non-generalized type of SAD.

Score 60-90 SAD very probable
Scores in this range are typical of persons entering treatment for the generalized type of SAD.

Score 90 or higher SAD extremely probable
Scores in this range often are accompanied by great distress and difficulty in social functioning, and are also commonly seen in persons entering treatment for the generalized type of SAD.


There wasnt a score for 'You have AS, go and find another test'

The thought of lots of 'people' in my garden is unnerving enough.

But what if they go in my house (of course NT hosts throw open the house too) you know, to use the bathroom or something


High pressure salesmen are one of the lowest forms of life to me.

But I would have the presence of mind to terminate the meeting and have done so before.

The worst types of salesmen for me are those who wont stop talking (rather like an Aspie)

I dont take in information through my ears very effectively and I am mostly Auditory Digital (facts on paper in my hand)

I like to read up on the subject before meeting with a 'salesman' with the meeting comprising I ask questions and he (it's usually a man) answers.

Any deviation and I terminate.

I got an 81.

I was actually expecting to score lower considering I never saw myself with social anxiety. Now I realize I can like being the center of attention and have no problems in a social situation where an argument is likely, (persistant salesman or disagreeing with someone) but still have a lot of anxiety in other more mild situations. It seems I'm only comfortable in extremes, which makes so much sense considering how I was raised.

I also took this test i got 33% and another test i am having 64%

I realize I probably do have it because I feel it impacts my life so it has to be more than just shyness.
