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.


Actually, the score key says 20-49 is the above description, but there isn't anything lower.

-EDIT I wonder if those resources about internet addiction can be bought online?

[RageOfOrder]

I scored 37

I think thats low for me considering the amount of time I spent online. But it's not something I obsess about. It never gets in the way of work or going out when I want to.. it just I don't do much else with my spare time lately :P

And I stay up way too late online

[Ozor Mox]

28, not as bad as I thought :)

My biggest problem is switching off the computer at night. Like now, it is 2:15 am...

[FuturePilot]

Uh oh...60:-#:redface:

[init1]

46? I think I have more of a problem than that :D

[MST3Kakalina]

32. I'm surprised it wasn't higher.

[SunnyRabbiera]

I got a 26, a big shock as I do spend quite a bit of time online doing things

[angryfirelord]

79. :lolflag:
Ok, maybe I checked "always" a little too often, but it's still up there.

[Fonon]

I got 37. Better than I thought.

[reacocard]

I got 45. Close to the edge, right where I like it. :D

[steven8]

14

[Chilli Bob]

72

I'm comfortable with that.

[Iandefor]

58. Quite accurate,

I really need to get offline more often.

[arashiko28]

29. You want an honest result? Check the beans...:lolflag: there are some tricky questions, like the ones that you don't do that at all, and yet have to choose rarely since there is no never. Do not apply it's not the same. Since ie the question about avoiding intimacy for being online it's not valid if you answer rarely if don't have a couple... but good though...

[some_random_noob]

I'm not worried about it. Sure I sometimes aimlessly browse, but only because there's nothing better to do.

I'm more worried about kitchen-addiction. Lol. I cook waaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too much. Maybe I'll get a hot girlfriend off it? :D Hmmmmmmmm... maybe one day... maybe one day...

[sparks0548]

The Marine Corps firewall says I can't take the test. I'm not allowed......LOL. Man I can't wait to get home... LOL

[sad_iq]

So far the only one that scored 50....Should that raise any questions???

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

Uh-ohhh

[Outrunner]

47

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.

And to translate, I'm addicted.

[Celegorm]

I got 26, waaaay lower than I was expecting, considering how much time I spend at my computer. Though, it's more things like forums or a particular game that tends to get me into trouble, and I'm not currently into that stuff much just at present, except just now when I'm staying up late browsing the forums when I ought to be asleep :-\"

[saxuntu]

WooHoo 26. Like alcohol, above average but not an addict!!

[sanderella]

I scored 32, average.

Good thread this, thanks!

Not bad...need to work on this growing habit htough *he says as he types on the keyboard :lolflag:*

[happysmileman]

48, I'm surprised it's not higher, but then again, I only spend so much time online because I live in middle of nowhere, I do prefer to actually go out when i can

[RAV TUX]

93..oops.

Wow that is high...there may be an online 10 step program for you. ;)

[rsambuca]

40 here.

Not too bad considering I earn my living from the internet and do private work too, again using the Internet.

[ThinkBuntu]

"How often do you use a checkbox when the data calls for a radio button?"

Just kidding. Neat test.

[ThinkBuntu]

29. "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."

Some of those questions are spooky! I'd take the intimacy with my partner over 100 hours online!

[LookTJ]

Scored 42

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.

[Iceni]

A few of those questions are scary:)

20. How often do you feel depressed, moody, or nervous when you are off-line, which goes away once you are back on-line?

I got a 16, average user.

edit: found out that "does not apply" counts as never:)

[steveneddy]

I', a 62 - and I think that the ones that are on these forums that have low scores are lying.

:popcorn:

[fuscia]

most of my answers were "does not apply".

[IusedTObeSOMEONEelse]

oOPs! 57

[RAV TUX]

most of my answers were "does not apply".

drama queen ;)

[wersdaluv]

93..oops.

Oh my gosh!

That's a serious problem dude.

Maybe, an offline counselor would be more helpful. hehe

[Billy_McBong]

32

"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."

Score 29.

An absolutely terrible test it got me completely wrong. I am absolutely addicted to the internet, most of the questions I clicked Does Not Apply because I am literally -always- online and many of the questions were irrelevant as I don't choose anything over the internet apart from my son and my wife.

I sleep ~15 hours a week and I am online when I am not asleep. I have been like this for 15 years, I am literally the definition of an internet addict.

I have never seen such an appalling design for a questionnaire and a I sociologist I know a lot about these things.

Let me explain my answers:

1. N/A - I intend to be online -all- the time so I am never online longer than I intended.

2. 5 - How can I know about household chores if I am always in front of my computer?

3. N/A - I don't have "excitement" online, I just exist there.

4. 1 - Whats does it mean by relationships?

5. 5 - Ask the missus

6. 1 - I still get the highest grades possible, I just leave things until the last minute.

7. 5 - Who doesn't?

8. N/A - Unemployed mature student.

9. N/A - People don't ask

10. N/A - I just don't, my mind is too occupied with technology to think about negative times in my life

11. N/A - I am never offline

12. N/A - I would never put myself into a situation where I have no internet, so I don't think about it.

13. 1 - If I am really busy working on something important

14. 5 - But is it cause or affect? Since I only sleep around 15 hours a week due to a sleep disorder.

15. N/A - I am never offline.

16. N/A See 15

17. N/A I have no interest in cutting down so I cannot fail at it.

18. N/A I am 33 years old, why would I try to hide it, I can do what I like.

19. 5 - I never go out unless I am going to class or taking/collecting son and missus to the inlaws.

20. N/A - Again, I am never offline.


Sites like this are a joke.

...I just leave things until the last minute.



If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute.

a bit more than i hoped :P

[RAV TUX]

I got 42...ironically! ;)

[Happy_Man]

I got 45. Close to the edge, right where I like it. :D
I'll see your 45, and raise you one. Even closer. HA!

[me1on]

I got a score of 41. It probably should have been higher, as I'm online often, but I don't see it as a problem. Most of the time I spend online is for learning new things (I visit Wikipedia daily) or reading the news. Others watch TV for several hours a day, which, in my opinion, is much worse (I watch about 10 - 20 minutes a day). Going online is something I enjoy doing, not something to be ashamed of. :)

[RAV TUX]

They need to fix it to a radio button, not a checkbox. I can click all of the buttons! Also, I scored a 48.

<input type="checkbox" to "radio"Just thought I'd put that. :)

They probaly don't spend enough time online to know that?

You should alert the websites administrator.

How can they expect to help anyone out with a test like that with checkboxes?

Same here ,when i`m not at work....:)
I`m 38 now but have only used a pc for 18 months,the wife reckons i`ve squeezed a good few of those missing years in during the last one & a half though:)

If i`m not at work or out with the family i`m generally on my throne...."home1":)
I cant get enough of the things now and while i still dont have a clue what i`m doing half the time i`m so glad i decided to sit down at one..........even more so for having discovered Ubuntu/Linux a few months later of course:)

I got a 42 on the test but the wife took it again for me and got a 58

29 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.

I spend a lot of times on the web on weekends but on weekdays I rarely go online.
