About this assessment
What this test explores
This assessment looks at two related but different experiences: social discomfort while you are present, and social avoidance that keeps you from entering or staying in social situations. Seeing the difference can make the result more useful than a single label.
- Tension and difficulty relaxing around people
- Avoiding groups, crowds, events, or unfamiliar conversations
- Whether you participate despite discomfort or withdraw before trying
How the result is calculated
The 28 true-or-false statements are scored in separate discomfort and avoidance dimensions. Reverse-keyed items are adjusted within their dimension, so each result is a descriptive 0-100 pattern rather than a population percentile.
How to read your result
High discomfort with lower avoidance can mean you keep participating while tense. High avoidance with lower reported distress can point to habit, preference, fatigue, or anticipated discomfort. Read both dimensions with your real-life context.

Common questions
Questions about this test
Can I avoid social situations without feeling very anxious?
Yes. Avoidance can become a routine, reflect low interest or energy, or prevent you from noticing discomfort until after the situation is over.
Does a high result mean I have social anxiety disorder?
No. This is a private reflection tool, not a diagnosis. Persistent distress or major interference is better discussed with a qualified professional.
