Frequently Asked Questions
- What is this test based on?
- It is informed by the SAD-D (Severity Measure for Social Anxiety Disorder), a scale professionals use to assess social anxiety across fear, avoidance, physical symptoms, and safety behaviors. This quiz adapts that framework for self-reflection — it is not the clinical instrument itself.
- Is this a clinical diagnosis?
- No. This quiz is for educational and self-reflection purposes only and is not a diagnosis. If social anxiety is significantly impacting your daily life, please consider speaking with a mental health professional.
- Can social anxiety actually improve?
- Yes — markedly. Social anxiety is highly treatable. Cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and reducing safety behaviors are the evidence-based interventions, and reframing the specific thoughts your anxiety generates in real time is a core part of why they work.
