63(fear) + 61(avoidance) = 124
I did this once before but can't remember the score. Guess I should have posted it.

tried to do it as accurately as possible, but who knows, maybe another day my answers would be different;

58(fear) + 51(avoidance) = 109

39 fear, 34 avoidance = 73, marked social anxiety

Although avoidance is actually the most characteristic aspect of my behavior, it just didn't ask do you avoid seeking employment which is worth 30 points or so for how much it's affecting my life right now IMO.

I have very severe social anxiety. Then again most of those situations are the ones i'm usually afraid of.

I've noticed that a lot of people here wonder how bad their social anxiety is... Well, I found this cool test online to determine how bad it is. It seems to be pretty accurate for myself :D

My score is "60" - moderate social phobia. I took this test before I started working hard on my social phobia and I had marked social phobia back then (about 3 monthes ago) yaaay! :)

What's yours?

Marked Social Phobia.

Still afraid to make the decision whether I have it or not. The so-so result doesn't help :/ Gonna terrorise the local psychologists :>

Yeah this test can't accurately assess your SA.....some of the questions I can't give the right answer to. For example, when it asks how much I avoid public speaking or performing it doesn't take into account whether it's a required thing....like a school speech for a grade, which I would do, or whether it's something not too important but something to volunteer for....which I most likely wouldn't do. So it depends on the situation......Anyhow, I got a 69.

No one should view this as a diagnoses or anything, it's a survey really; general and not perfect but it is worthwhile.

I decided to retake it after a few months or whenever I tried last. I reread it 3 times to really think; and yeah, it's not perfect =)

*EDIT* 37(fear) + 32(avoidance) = 69
You have marked social anxiety.

I noticed some specific questions I went less on, due to recent experiences, some active relaxation/thought process changing. HOWEVER; I think I could up some answers; it seems rather low lol. For me. Although, no complaints about the number it added up to...

You have very severe social anxiety.

sounds right..

i cant avoid what i have to do, i just have severe fear... but i know i have to face it.. so its unavoidable.. so avoidance is never.

i mean, come on people.. they wont ask specific avoidance.. .you just have to answer what they ask.. there could be a long list..
