Steve Chinn | Maths Anxiety Quiz

The twenty items below are about maths and your feelings when you have to do each one of these things.
I would like you to consider to each item and then decide how anxious that situation makes you feel.

If it never makes you feel anxious type 1 in the box,
if it makes you feel anxious sometimes type 2 in the box,
if it makes you feel anxious often type 3 in the box,
If it always makes you feel anxious type 4 in the box.

1 = never anxious; 2 = sometimes anxious; 3 = often anxious; 4 = always anxious;
