This is REALLY COOL! I found this little SA test on the internet from another poster on this site back in January of this year. Since then, at the end of every month, I've been re-taking the test just to see how my SA was fairing in comparison to any previous months. It's proven to be a fantastic way to measure my anxiety level in such a way for me to really see the progress I've made.
I started out with a composite score of 83 back in January. Then, it actually worsened a bit up to 84 in February. It went down to 76 in March, then to 71 in April, and now it is all of 59 for May! These numbers indicate that I began with what the test indicated as having "severe" SAD, to having "marked" SAD, and now to having only "moderate" SAD.
It's called the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and I recommend anyone with SAD do this so you can chart your own patterns and progress. It could help you in your dealings with your therapists, etc., or just be super useful to yourself on your own. I really wouldn't have been able to remember quite how I was doing all the way back in January if not for my record of these scores.
