WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Integrative Anxiety Test - Symptoms and Signs

anxiety disorder uneasiness

This instrument is a brief self-report measure designed to evaluate anxiety-related symptoms and overall anxiety level. The Integrative Anxiety Test is intended to support clinical screening and case formulation by capturing both overt and less readily articulated anxiety experiences.

It consists of 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items are answered in a structured format to yield quantitative indices that can be interpreted alongside clinical interview findings and other assessment data. When used appropriately, the measure can be applied in individual or group settings and may be helpful in identifying anxiety that presents with somatic or mixed affective features. The Integrative Anxiety Test is attributed to Charles D. Spielberger.
