The Avoidant Personality Disorder Test is based on the diagnostic criteria of APD. The main signs of avoidant personality disorder are severe social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation, criticism, and rejection. It causes significant problems that affect one’s ability to interact with others, maintain relationships and have an adequate social life.
This test covers all the above-mentioned symptoms. However, as any other self-reported test, it does not replace proper professional assessment. If your score indicates that, you have a probability of having avoidant personality disorder, but proper mental health assessment does not find any, it means that the test is mistaken in your case and provided a false-positive result.
Many individuals who have avoidant personality disorder may also suffer from an additional mental disorder, most commonly Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, and Depression.
