Test Description

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory is an English-localized assessment focused on current anxious state, long-term anxiety proneness, tension, worry, calmness, and emotional stability. It contains 40 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.
