The Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI), a self-report psychometric scale, was developed to measure individual differences in test anxiety as a situation-specific trait. The test is one page and contains twenty items. Based on a Likert Scale, the respondents are asked to report how frequently they experience specific symptoms of anxiety before, during and after examinations. In addition to measuring individual differences in anxiety proneness in test situations, the TAI subscales assess worry and emotionality as major components of test anxiety.

Two major components of test anxiety are: (1) worry - cognitive concerns about consequences of failure and, (2) emotionality - reactions of the autonomic nervous system that are evoked by evaluative stress. Based on a state-trait anxiety theory, this twenty-item scale labeled the "Test Attitude Inventory" yields scores for worry and emotionality. The item content reflects examination situations and is useful in studies and treatments for test anxiety.
