    According to this test I have severe social phobia (I scored 45 Fear and 47 Avoidance, which adds up to 92). What's your rating?

    Wow, I was surprised, I got 8 + 12... and I'm actually a pretty shy person in many social settings, though I don't really have anxiety about it, I guess.

    An ad came up when I opened the page :confused:

    My score:
    50(fear) + 55(avoidance) = 105
    You have very severe social anxiety.

    And I thought 100 was the maximum score. :lol:

    14+14 = 28.

    Calling people on the phone is horrifying; the only people I can call without worrying about it are my parents and my brother... Answering the phone is no biggy though.
    I wonder why.

    14(fear) + 9(avoidance) = 23

    I don't have social anxiety. I couldn't choose that on the poll

    This I know.....My partner/wife/fiancee says I'm TOOOO Friendly. I get it from my dad, he'll start a conversation with a complete stranger and I will too.

    I'm only severely uncomfortable in sexual/romantic situations, and since I'm in a committed marriage/relationship I don't have to worry about it. Though even now, I get nervous about seducing my own wife. :confused: I think it comes form my conservative upbringing. Sex makes me nervous.

    25 (fear) = 41 (avoidance) = 66, marked social phobia. Kind of makes sense....I have a certain amount of moderate fear of social situations, but in reality, I'd just rather not participate.

    You have moderate social anxiety.

    This isn't too surprising for me. I've been working on it lately which has helped.

    It would be nice to have an option for having no social anxiety...

    13 and 5. I guess my social fears are nothing in comparison to many other people's after all.

    Where's the option for 0 - 55 on the poll though?
