WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Fear Test

Fear Test

fear

This measure is designed to evaluate individual differences in fear-related responses and behavioral avoidance when facing challenging or stressful situations. The Fear Test is a brief self-report instrument intended for use in psychological screening and clinical or counseling contexts.

It consists of 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items query perceived reactions to threatening or anxiety-provoking circumstances, with results interpreted as an index of fearfulness versus willingness to confront feared situations.

The Fear Test is attributed to R. C. Spielberger and may inform case formulation, goal setting, and selection of interventions targeting avoidance, anxiety management, and confidence-building, while remaining one component of a broader assessment process.
