Default Re: Your Social Anxiety Score

To all those people that think their score is high and are worried about it:

When I gave this questionnaire out to university students:

They had an average score of 55 (which according to the questionnaire is 'moderate SA'). So 36% of people at my university apparently have moderate SA!!!

24% have 'marked SA'
11% have 'severe SA'
3% have 'very severe SA'.

As it's highly unlikely that 36% of the people at my university have SA the categories for the score are obviously flawed! In the other examples of this questionnaire I have not seen such categories so I do not know where these came from.

The scores can be between 0-144 so it's better just to base it on that. Plus, some of the questions are a bit iffy to me. Who DOESN'T get anxious before taking a test?!!!!!
