Internet addiction encompasses different forms of online dependency that go beyond simple excessive screen use.

It will help you identify which forms of Internet addiction concern you most.

• Compulsive buying behavior on the Internet (e-commerce, auctions, in-app purchases)
• Compulsive consumption of online content (streaming, videos, information, pornography)
• Dependency on forms of digital communication (messaging, forums, chats)

• Low : Your relationship with the Internet is healthy and balanced. You use digital technology as a tool without becoming dependent.

• High : Your Internet addiction is significant and impacts your daily life in multiple areas.
