[Danielle]

I scored a 4. not shy at all...

 

[jbates]

Hmmm, well I got a 52. I know I'm really shy but I also know tests like these are flawed. Regardless, not a bad guess haha. Though I probably have worse than what would be considered a moderate social phobia lol

This test is very vague because it doesn't account for the context in which people are shy. I don't mind eating out alone, but it would depend on the place I eat. Eating alone in a restaurant is very odd, but not so in a fast food joint. Hence I would feel highly anxious in the first case, but not so in the second. That's because of social expectations that are often in place. You don't want to feel like the odd one out.

By the way I scored a 44. I believe this is reflective of me though, because I hardly get anxious when around people. It however, depends on the context and social expectations regarding those circumstances.

Woah and I was seriously answering honestly

"YOUR HEALTH INDEX SCORE IS 104

THIS MEANS THAT YOU

Appear to have very severe social phobia"

I guess its a good thing that the results should be " considered in the context of a complete psychiatric evaluation."

[mintymint]

If you're dying with that score, then BJD must be **** near superman

 

[AFrozenSoul]

Ha ha I scored a 70.

I guess my question is how does one go about overcoming this kind of a thing... or how does one get an official diagnosis?

 

[Sway]

I agree with who ever said this test was vague, I got a 35,... appears to be well adjusted...
.... doesn't count for all scenarios -_-

@ Frozen possibly just bring up the courage to talk to more rando ppl? I mean once u get used to things then it should bother that much.
