- ABOUT THE TEST
The Clinical Basis For Social Anxiety Screening Test
This self-screening tool draws on principles from the Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), a validated questionnaire used by clinicians to assess the fear, avoidance and physical symptoms associated with social anxiety.
Everyone feels nervous in certain social situations; this test looks at whether that nervousness has become something you actively plan your life around, avoiding, over-preparing for, or enduring with real distress.
Grounded in Clinical Practice
Built on principles from the SPIN, a validated tool clinicians use to assess social anxiety.
A Starting Point, Not a Label
Your score flags whether social situations are affecting your life more than they should, not who you are.
A Clear Way Forward
If your results suggest possible social anxiety, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychologist or psychiatrist for a proper assessment.

- FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A few honest answers before you begin your social anxiety screening test.
Is this Social Anxiety test a diagnosis?
No. This is a screening tool only. Social anxiety can vary widely in how it presents and overlaps with other conditions; only a formal assessment with a qualified professional can confirm a diagnosis.
How long does the test take?
About 2 to 3 minutes for 17 questions. Go with your first instinct rather than overthinking each answer; it’s usually the most accurate one.
What should I do if my score is high?
A higher score doesn’t confirm social anxiety, but if it’s shaping the decisions you make day-to-day, it’s worth acting on. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists.
