Beck Anxiety Inventory

Beck Anxiety Inventory was created by Aaron Temkin Beck. The test is made up of twenty-one different questions. It is designed to establish how much anxiety a person is feeling on a day to day basis.

The test is for seventeen year olds upwards. The Beck Anxiety Inventory has an normal reliability coefficient of ninety two percent as well 75-percent test-retest reliability.

This is how it works: The common anxiety symptoms are displayed below. Look at each item on the list and rate how much the symptom has been bothering you in the past month by ticking one of the boxes in each column for every symptom.

A total sum of between 0 - 21 point to very low anxiety. Which is generally a good thing. There is a possibility though that you maybe in denial or you've learned to cover up symptoms linked with anxiety. Too little anxiety may that you're detached from others, yourself or your environment.

A total sum between 22 - 35 points to moderate anxiety. The body is attempting to inform you of something. Watch for the patterns as to why and when you experience these symptoms described above. A total sum which exceeds 36 is potentially cause for concern. High anxiety which is persistent needs to be treated. If it is not treated it could physically and mentally impact on you significantly.
