If you have a problem
with math anxiety, you might wonder about how your level of anxiety compares
to other students across the country and around the world. Several
diagnostic tests have been designed to measure attitudes and levels of
anxiety towards math. One of the best known is the Mathematics Anxiety
Rating Scale (MARS) by Richard M. Suinn of the Rocky Mountain Behavioral
Science Institute at Fort Collins, Colorado. This test can be obtained from
your local counselor or by writing to the Institute at Fort Collins. Data
to indicate the scores of other students from a variety of majors and
colleges can also be obtained to allow you to compare your own scores to
those of other students. Other diagnostic tests that measure math anxiety
are also available.
