Is Your Internet Usage Normal? Take the Test to Find Out!

In summary, the online addiction test has 120 possible answers, and you can get a score that isn't even on the rating chart (0-19). You can manage to get a score that isn't even on the rating chart (0-19) by checking all but one box and still get a score of 19. However, the big one is that you can only fail a little bit or you can fail a lot. There is no succeed option.

Just taken an online test for this, and although you may question it's accuracy it's just a bit of fun!

Hah hah. Funny test.

a] You can check all 120 boxes.
b] You can manage to get a score that isn't even on the rating chart (0-19).
c] You can do both a] AND b] by checking all but one box and still getting a score of 19.


But the big one:
What kind of test has only one outcome - failure? You can fail only a little bit or you can fail a lot. There is no succeed option.

36, seems like there's nothing wrong with me after all.

Wow, only a 30, and it tells me I'm normal. There MUST be something wrong with the test. :biggrin:

Hmm... it's pretty bad when we're all considered normal...
 
  • #7
err.. I got 70!

Hmm 42. I don't feel that's accurate because some of the wording is vague. One of the questions read something like "do you ever try to cut back on your usage but find yourself unable to do so?" I spend too much time probably, but I never have tried to cut back, so I was forced to mark "rarely" when in fact that question worded slightly differently would have made me respond differently.
