Internet Addiction Test - How Addicted Are You?

September 4th, 2005 • Related • Filed Under

Sometimes I feel like I can’t live without the internet. Not only does my job revolve around the internet, but I use the internet for blogging, for gaming, for news and for shopping - even if I go to traditional store I tend to look on the internet first.I guess there a lot of people out there like me, and this test will measure just how addicted you are and whether the internet has had a negative impact on your life. The higher your score, the greater your addiction level:

  • 20 - 49 points: You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.
  • 50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life
  • 80 - 100 points: Your Internet usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the impact of the Internet on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Internet usage.

I scored 41 so I guess my addiction is under control. Post your scores here - don’t be shy!

    62 for me - frankly, if I get only 62, I can’t imagine what a 90+ score would mean.

    Oh no, wait, surely this was a trick. If you comment on this blog entry within 60 seconds of the RSS coming out, you scored high on the test anyway ;) I should have waited and appeared all nonchalant about it.

    Whooooaaarr that’s weird how stuff buzzin inside your head takes on reality … as I was out very early this morning sunup! … walking my doggy as you do … “if you have a dog of course” …  and if your addicted to the internet … my advice is yes get a dog … they really keep you balanced walkie’s an-all …

    Yes hands up I’m truly adicted to the internet score 75-85 or maybe I should rephrase that adicted to what a great living the internet can reward you with if you keep your internet surfing seriously targeted … you see I ended up here by pure thought pattens … one minute I was thinking must get an organized format to time spent doing all the tasks that need to be done online on a daily basis so I set off this morning to get a pinging education and wow I ended up on this great blog site all the information here is right on target … so is that some form of a workaholics adicted  dog walking wannabe zombie Google~lite …. Yes I can hear you thinking ….

    All my best to you and your ad~diction
