The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is a 21-item self-report measure of how much common anxiety symptoms have bothered you over the past week, such as feeling nervous, being unable to relax, fearing the worst, a racing heart, dizziness, trembling, and numbness or tingling. Each symptom is rated from not at all to severely. Takes about 5 minutes.
