Self-assessment · Phobias

Choose the questionnaire that matches the fear pattern.

Four existing Watu questionnaires explore overall phobia impact, agoraphobic situations, blood-injury fears and social fears. They support reflection and cannot diagnose a phobia.

Four questionnairesComplete one at a timeAll self-assessments →

Do not deliberately expose yourself to a feared situation to answer a question. Respond from recent experience, including avoidance and anticipation. Exposure-based treatment should be planned with an appropriately qualified professional when needed.

01 · Select a route

Start with the closest fit.

If several areas apply, choose the one causing the greatest interference now. More questionnaires do not necessarily create more clarity.

Total phobia impact

A broad view of fear, avoidance and interference across different situations.

Start total-impact test

Agoraphobic situations

Reflection on travel, crowds, open or enclosed places and situations that may feel difficult to leave.

Start agoraphobia test

Blood-injury fears

Questions relating to blood, injury, injections or medical procedures and the avoidance around them.

Start blood-injury test

Social fears

Reflection on scrutiny, embarrassment, performance and social situations that have become difficult.

Start social-fears test

02 · Interpret in context

Avoidance can hide severity.

A person may report little anxiety simply because they have reorganised life to avoid the trigger. When reviewing a result, consider what you no longer do, how much preparation or reassurance is needed and whether the fear is disproportionate to the actual situation.

Physical symptoms, fainting, panic-like episodes and medication or health factors require appropriate clinical consideration. A GP or regulated mental health professional can assess the wider picture and discuss evidence-based options.

Useful observation

Note one situation, the predicted outcome, the action you took and what the avoidance cost. This creates a clearer starting point for a professional conversation.

Safety and next steps

Do not use the result to push yourself into unsafe or medically unsuitable exposure. Seek urgent help for immediate danger or severe deterioration. If fear is significantly restricting healthcare, travel, work, education or relationships, arrange an assessment with an appropriately qualified professional.

iMetaWellness may support general regulation, routines and recovery where suitable, but does not diagnose phobias or provide a substitute for indicated clinical treatment.
