SOCIAL PHOBIA SURVEY
My Survey Score
The score I received from the survey came out to be a little above the “average range.” My calculated total was a thirty-one. I feel that my score is about right. I don’t have any reason to disagree with it, because it does reflect on how I am as a person and how I see myself.

When someone has a problem speaking to a group of people or even a single person that is something that she look into seriously; I believe that there’s some sort of childhood history that is behind this phobia.

Why these Scores?
Some people might have a very low score on this survey are often individuals who have gained their social skills at an early age (probably) they have experienced being told that they could do anything or achieve a lot. Encouragement plays a big part on a person and so a person who may have a very low score is probably someone who has a little more self-confidence than others that may have scored very low. A person who experiences less rejection is one who becomes outgoing, sociable and happy (psychological); does not berating him or herself (psychological). This may some people
