In brief: Screens are ubiquitous in our daily lives, but excessive use can become problematic.

Screens are ubiquitous in our daily lives, but their excessive use can become problematic. This test evaluates four dimensions of your relationship with screens: compulsive use, withdrawal symptoms, impact on your social life, and loss of control. It will help you determine if your screen consumption remains healthy or if it requires adjustment.

What the test measures

  • Tendency to use screens automatically and repetitively
  • Symptoms of discomfort or anxiety when deprived of screens
  • Consequences of screen use on your relationships and social activities
  • Difficulty limiting or stopping screen use despite the desire to do so

How to interpret your score

The result indicates an intensity, not a diagnosis:

  • Low: Your relationship with screens is healthy and balanced. You know how to use them as tools without becoming dependent.
  • Moderate: Your screen use shows some signs of dependency that warrant your attention, without being alarming.
  • High: Your screen dependency is significant and affects several aspects of your life. It's time to take action.
  • Very High: Your screen addiction is severe and requires professional support. Don't wait to take action.
