What this measures
Anxiety does not arrive through one door. It splits into two channels, and this questionnaire measures them separately.
The cognitive channel is anxiety made of thought β worry, rumination, imagined catastrophes, the loop you cannot switch off.
The somatic channel is anxiety made of body β the racing heart, the tight stomach, the jitteriness, the sweating.
Most people are louder in one channel than the other, and that difference matters more than the total score:
a technique aimed at the wrong channel does very little. Relaxing a body that was never tense will not stop a racing mind β and reasoning with a mind that is already calm will not release a braced body.

Items and scoring follow Schwartz, Davidson & Goleman (1978) as reported in DeGood & Tait (1987): odd-numbered items form the Cognitive scale, even-numbered items the Somatic scale, each rated on a 5-point scale anchored "not at all" and "very much so", then summed. This is a self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis.
