Test Description

Social Avoidance and Distress Scale is an English-localized assessment focused on avoidance of social contact, discomfort around others, interpersonal anxiety, and social distress. It contains 28 items across 2 scoring dimensions, and it presents the same user-facing testing flow, scoring cues, and report context in English. Use the report as a self-reflection and screening reference rather than a standalone diagnosis; important mental health or relationship decisions should still be discussed with a qualified professional when needed.
