What This Tool Measures

The Glossophobia Severity Checker assesses 25 common symptoms of presentation anxiety (glossophobia) across four categories:

Severity Levels

Based on your total score, you'll receive one of four severity ratings:

• 0-5 points — Minimal Anxiety (Cool Cucumber): Presentations barely faze you. Normal pre-performance energy exists but doesn't interfere with delivery.
• 6-15 points — Mild Anxiety (Nervous Navigator): You experience noticeable anxiety but can usually push through. Targeted practice can reduce these symptoms.
• 16-28 points — Moderate Anxiety (Anxiety Warrior): Presentation anxiety is genuinely affecting your performance and possibly your career choices. This is very common and very treatable.
• 29-50 points — Significant Anxiety (Brave Battler): Your presentation anxiety is significantly impacting your professional life. The fact that you're seeking help shows courage.

How It Works

1. Check off any symptoms you regularly experience when presenting or thinking about presenting
2. Each symptom is weighted by severity (high-impact symptoms like avoidance score higher)
3. Your total score determines your severity level and personal badge
4. Receive a category breakdown showing which areas affect you most
5. Get a personalized action plan based on your results
