WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Agoraphobia Test - Description and methodology of the test

phobias

panic disorder

psychopathology

People seeking a structured view of panic-related restriction can use this agoraphobia test to examine experiences that are hard to judge in isolation. It is intended for people reflecting on panic, feared situations, health worries, or changes in daily functioning. As an agoraphobia quiz, it presents a profile of symptom areas rather than reducing the result to a single label.

What This Assessment Explores

Questions cover panic episodes, fear of recurrence, avoidance, health worries, and disruption in social, domestic, and work life. The profile shows which agoraphobia symptoms are most prominent; it describes symptom severity without reducing the pattern to one number.

The displayed scales are:

Health-Related Worry (0-4) reflects physical-health concern: Low 0-1; Moderate 2-3; High 4-4.
Impairment (0-4) shows interference with daily and social functioning: Minimal restriction 0-1; Moderate restriction 2-3; Severe restriction 4-4.
Anticipatory Anxiety (0-4) measures worry about a possible attack: Low 0-1; Moderate 2-3; High 4-4.
Agoraphobia, Avoidance Behavior (0-4) reflects avoided places or situations: Low avoidance 0-1; Moderate avoidance 2-3; High avoidance 4-4.
Panic Attacks (0-4) captures frequency and severity: Low 0-1; Moderate 2-3; High 4-4.
Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (0-52) summarizes overall severity: Low 0-17; Moderate 18-34; High 35-52.

Methodology and Scientific Basis

Each item offers five response options arranged as an item-specific ordered gradation covering attack frequency, severity and duration, avoidance, feared situations, functional impairment, health worry, or causal beliefs. As a panic and agoraphobia questionnaire, it reports domain scores and an overall PAS score; the displayed information does not specify response weighting or how those scores are calculated.

The structure is conceptually consistent with Panic and Agoraphobia Scale (Bandelow, 1995), a published measure of panic disorder and agoraphobia severity. Bandelow’s 1999 manual documents its format and use. Tural, Fidaner, Alkin, and Bandelow (2002) provide psychometric evidence for a Turkish translation; that evidence supports the published instrument, not automatically every online presentation. The digital form should not be treated as newly standardized or normed by its displayed ranges.

Interpretation is strongest when attacks, anticipatory fear, avoidance, health worry, and functional interference point in the same direction. Current stress, memory, self-awareness, and response style may affect self-report. The result is not diagnostic; persistent or disabling symptoms merit broader clinical assessment.
