Anxiety Self-Rating Scale

INSTRUCTIONS:
This scale is designed for your personal use. There are no right or wrong answers. Usually, your first response is the best. Please print these pages out for your personal reference. If you like, there is also a Depression Self-Rating Scale.

  • For each item decide if it

  • NEVER applies to you (mark 0)

  • SOMETIMES applies to you (mark 1)

  • HALF THE TIME applies to you (mark 2)

  • FREQUENTLY applies to you (mark 3)

  • ALWAYS applies to you (mark 4)

  • When you are finished add up your totals in all 5 columns to get your TOTAL SCORE.

  • Make sure you base your answers on how you actually behave in your daily life, not on how you would like to be
