What Mini-SPIN score suggests social anxiety?

A total of 6 or more out of 12 is the validated threshold suggesting a likely social anxiety disorder. It detects the condition with about 90% accuracy, but it's a screen, not a diagnosis.

Is social anxiety the same as being shy?

No. Shyness is a personality trait, while social anxiety disorder involves intense fear and avoidance of social situations that causes real distress and gets in the way of work, study, or relationships.

Mini-SPIN (Connor 2001)

Ce que ça mesure

Whether you may have social anxiety disorder, using the Mini-SPIN — a three-item short form of the Social Phobia Inventory. It focuses on avoidance driven by fear of embarrassment, discomfort being the centre of attention, and fear of looking foolish.

Comment ça marche

You rate each of three statements from 'not at all' (0) to 'extremely' (4). The answers sum to a 0–12 score. A total of 6 or more is the validated cut-off suggesting a likely social anxiety disorder that's worth assessing further.

Conseils pour un résultat fiable

1Shyness and social anxiety differ — Social anxiety causes real distress and avoidance that interferes with life — more than ordinary shyness.
2It's very treatable — Cognitive behavioural therapy is highly effective for social anxiety, and medication helps some people.
3Consider the fuller SPIN — If you want more detail, the 17-item SPIN grades severity across more situations.
