How the result is decided
Every answer feeds one overall score, and that score falls into one of 3 bands. The bands are levels of the same thing, not different kinds of person.
Fear of judgementAvoidanceThe body
This is a screening-style questionnaire, not a diagnosis. A high score is a reason to talk to someone who can assess properly.
All 3 types
The Open WindowRooms are rooms — the fear of being judged visits and leaves, the body stays quiet, and the plan gets kept. Whatever else this is, it is not social anxiety.
The Half-Drawn BlindIn the room, and watching yourself in it — the fear is there often enough to steer some choices, not so often that it has closed the door.
The Closed CurtainThe fear of being judged is deciding where you go, what you say, and what you do afterwards — and it has been for a while. This is worth taking to someone.Is this you?
