The Beck Anxiety Inventory
And Other Anxiety Tests

The Beck Anxiety Inventory is an anxiety scale created by Dr. Aaron T. Beck along with other colleagues. I would have to say that this is definitely one of the more popular anxiety tests out there. It uses a numerical scale to rate your level of anxiety.

It consists of 21 questions that are designed to help you analyze your anxiety symptoms within the last week and you rate them on a scale from "not at all" to "severely". Then you add your score up at the end and it tells you if your anxiety is minimal or severe. The Beck Anxiety Inventory can be used for adolescents, adults, and even the elderly.

If you take it, though, you have to be honest with yourself and your symptoms. It is considered a "self report inventory". The only down side with these is that sometimes people downplay or exaggerate their symptoms, therefore don´t get an accurate assessment. So, if you decide to take it, be honest with yourself!

The Beck Anxiety Inventory is copyrighted and available for purchase online(at pearsonassessments.com). Dr. Beck also has other assessments to help with depression. The Beck Depression Inventory (for ages 13 and over) and Beck Hopelessness Scale (for ages 17 to 80) have been very helpful for those who deal with depression. (Source: Wikipedia.org )

A diabetic is not ashamed of taking insulin, right?
