Quick 6-item check-in for current social interaction anxiety using paraphrased SIAS-6-style proxy items.

  • Each item keeps the original 0 to 4 truth scale, so totals stay on the familiar 0 to 24 range.
  • The published 7+ SIAS-6 cue is shown for orientation only because this tool does not reproduce the licensed wording.
  • Use the result as a reflection prompt or follow-up note, not as a diagnosis or official score report.

What this social interaction check looks for

This tool is a lawful six-item proxy for social interaction anxiety. It follows the familiar SIAS-6 score frame from 0 to 24, but it uses paraphrased prompts rather than reproducing the copyrighted questionnaire text. The aim is practical: show how much social interaction itself is carrying tension, not only how much you dislike performance settings.

The items focus on common friction points such as eye contact, group mixing, unexpected encounters, one-to-one tension, conversational difficulty, and disagreeing aloud. Those situations are deliberately ordinary. They help distinguish broad interaction anxiety from stage fright alone.

The result is best used as a reflection or follow-up prompt. It is not a diagnosis and not an official SIAS-6 administration, but it can still be a clean way to summarize whether everyday social contact is becoming narrower, more effortful, or easier to avoid.

How the score is presented

Each item is scored from 0 to 4, giving a total from 0 to 24. The page marks the commonly used 7+ SIAS-6 cue as an orientation line, then layers local reading lanes on top of it so the result is easy to scan. A score of 0 to 4 reads as a lower current signal, 5 to 6 as near cue, 7 to 12 as cue crossed, 13 to 18 as high proxy signal, and 19 to 24 as very high proxy signal.

The gauge keeps the total visible, while the interaction tension chart and response ledger show which situations are contributing most. The advanced options can shift the wording toward screening, exposure planning, or therapy preparation, but they do not change the score itself.

  • The result includes chart exports, a response ledger, and a structured JSON record.
  • Optional context settings help keep the discussion tied to work, school, errands, dating, or general daily life.
  • All completed answers stay in this browser unless you explicitly export or copy them.

How to make the score useful

The most useful question is usually not "What is my number?" but "Where does social friction become costly enough to change my behavior?" If the total is near or above the 7+ cue, the next step is to find the specific situations that are creating avoidance, rehearsal, or shutdown. That is why the higher-scored friction items matter more than the total alone.

For repeat checks, keep the comparison fair. A run taken during a job interview cycle, breakup, relocation, or conflict-heavy week may be measuring both baseline social anxiety and an unusually stressful context. Use the same proxy and similar context if you want the change score to mean something.

If social situations are being avoided, school or work participation is narrowing, or the effort of ordinary conversation feels persistently high, bring the pattern into therapy or clinical follow-up. A short screener is most helpful when it turns vague distress into a concrete list of settings and behaviors to discuss.
