As a general measure to assess and track changes in social anxiety severity, the freely available Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) is the questionnaire recommended by the England & Wales NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) "outcomes toolkit". Interestingly David seems to prefer the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) probably because it makes a pretty full job of assessing both anxiety and avoidance.
Social Phobia Inventory - SPIN - (PDF file and Word doc): a widely used, freely available 17 item questionnaire for assessing social anxiety disorder. On the second sheet of the download, I give suggestions about what the different levels of score mean.
Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale - LSAS - (PDF file and Word doc): this 24 item questionnaire assesses both social anxiety and avoidance. It's good and is widely used in clinical trials. On the second sheet of the download, I give scoring suggestions and some information about improvement.
The Mini-SPIN is a three item Social Phobia screening questionnaire. Here are downloadable Word doc and PDF file versions. I tend not to use the Mini-SPIN much. Possible social anxiety disorder is typically picked out when I give new clients the much more inclusive and general MINI screening questionnaire and talk to them about their symptoms. I may be wrong. Possibly I should use the Mini-SPIN more often.
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies publishes an excellent free psychological screening instrument for major depression called the The Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). The CES-D serves a similar purpose as the ever popular Beck Depression Inventory-II, but with greater emphasis on the affective components of depression. The cost of this instrument ($0) makes it an attractive option to costly copyrighted depression scales. The CES-D is available in the public domain so check the end of this review to download the Stanford edition of the CES-D.
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) [12] is a 21 item, self rated inventory with each item rated with a set of four possible answer choices of increasing intensity. When the test is scored, a value of 0 to 3 is assigned for each answer and then the total score is compared to a key to determine the depression's severity. It can be administered for adolescents above 14 years as the reading level of the measure is only at sixth grade level and can be completed in about 10 minutes. The reliability and validity of BDI has been demonstrated with adolescents in other countries [13]. BDI was chosen over BDI-II because it's available free of cost for the primary-care users in India, a low income country. The Tamil version of the BDI after the back translation procedures was the measure for validation in this study. 2ff7e9595c
