What inventory is commonly used to measure anxiety levels in individuals?

Geriatric Depression Inventory
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
Beck Anxiety Inventory
Physical Symptom Inventory

The correct answer is: Beck Anxiety Inventory

The Beck Anxiety Inventory is specifically designed to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms in individuals. It consists of a series of questions that evaluate various aspects of anxiety, such as worry, nervousness, and physical symptoms associated with anxiety. By providing a standardized tool for measurement, the Beck Anxiety Inventory allows clinicians to quantify the level of anxiety experienced by a patient, facilitating both diagnosis and treatment planning. The other options do not serve the same purpose. The Geriatric Depression Inventory is aimed at assessing depression, particularly in older adults, while the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory is a broader psychological assessment tool used to evaluate personality traits and psychopathology across various domains, including both anxiety and depression, but is not exclusively focused on anxiety. The Physical Symptom Inventory pertains more to the evaluation of physical symptoms and does not directly measure anxiety levels. Therefore, the Beck Anxiety Inventory is the most relevant choice for specifically measuring anxiety.
