Anxiety Sensitivity Quiz: Discover Your Anxiety Sensitivity Level

It's natural to feel anxious sometimes. But, for some people, the experience of anxiety itself triggers a secondary and often more intense fear. This test is based on the concept of anxiety sensitivity, which is the fear of sensations associated with anxiety itself—whether they are physical (like a racing heart), cognitive (like losing focus), or social (like public embarrassment).

People with high anxiety sensitivity don't just find anxiety unpleasant; they believe these symptoms will lead to genuinely adverse outcomes, such as having a severe medical condition, losing control, or being publicly humiliated. This self-perpetuating cycle can intensify feelings of distress, making everyday life challenging. If you also find yourself overly aware of subtle changes in your body or emotions, you might also find value in taking our Highly Sensitive Person Questionnaire. Or, for further insight, consider taking our Fear of Missing Out Scale.
