A social anxiety screening tool measuring fear of judgment, social avoidance, and performance anxiety in everyday situations.
Social anxiety disorder affects approximately 12% of people over their lifetime, making it one of the most common anxiety conditions. Unlike shyness, social anxiety involves an intense fear of social situations due to concerns about being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated. This screening tool evaluates key symptoms including fear of social evaluation, avoidance of social situations, physical symptoms when socialising, and the impact on daily functioning.
This test is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool and should not replace professional medical advice. If you are experiencing distress, please consult a licensed healthcare provider.

This free screening takes about 4 min and includes 10 questions. Results are instant and stay on your device unless you choose to share them. It is an informal tool for self-reflection — not a diagnosis, licence, or medical report.
Score bands used on this page: Low Social Anxiety (0–8): Your responses suggest low levels of social anxiety. You appear comfortable in most social settings. Mild Social Anxiety (9–16): Your responses indicate mild social anxiety. Some social situations cause noticeable discomfort, but you're generally able to manage them. Moderate Social Anxiety (17–24): Your responses suggest moderate social anxiety. This may be meaningfully impacting your relationships, career, or daily activities. High Social Anxiety (25–30): Your responses indicate high levels of social anxiety that may be significantly affecting your quality of life.
Read the matched band and any insights or recommendations on the results screen first. If a score suggests a concern (mood, attention, sleep, or safety), talk with a GP or qualified clinician — bring a screenshot of your results as a conversation starter.
For skill-style quizzes (memory, focus, reasoning), pair this questionnaire with the interactive brain games on this site: reaction time, digit span, Stroop, and the Full Brain Test give timed practice that questionnaires cannot.
Retake after meaningful change — better sleep, a new routine, or therapy — not every day. Frequent retests mostly measure mood-of-the-moment noise.

Self-report tools can under- or over-estimate symptoms depending on insight, culture, and stress that day. They are best as a structured checklist, not a verdict.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately — do not wait on a quiz score.
