WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Anxiety Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

uneasiness

This measure is designed to assess self-reported anxiety symptoms and related worry. Anxiety Scale is intended to support clinical screening and baseline symptom characterization in individuals who may be experiencing elevated anxiety.

It consists of 50 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Items are answered using a standardized response format, yielding a total score that can be used to describe overall anxiety severity and to monitor change over time.

Anxiety Scale is commonly used as an adjunct to clinical interview findings rather than as a standalone diagnostic instrument. The version referenced here is attributed to Charles D. Spielberger.
