CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It screens for signs that social media use may feel hard to control and may interfere with daily activities, mood, or relationships. Results are intended as a prompt for reflection, not a diagnosis.
How long does it take to complete?
Most people finish in about 10 minutes. It includes 15 questions.
How should responses be selected?
Answer based on typical behavior over the past few weeks rather than a single unusual day. Use the first response that fits best.
Can the results diagnose addiction?
No; the score cannot confirm or rule out addiction or any mental health condition. A qualified professional is required for assessment and diagnosis.
What should be done if the quiz suggests a concern?
Consider setting limits, reducing exposure to triggers, or seeking support if the pattern is causing distress or impairment. If use creates immediate safety risk, such as checking while driving, stop and seek appropriate help.

About This Assessment

Am I Addicted to Social Media Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

This free, 15-question self-check explores whether social media is becoming difficult to control, disrupting daily life, or affecting your emotional and social wellbeing. It is quick and requires no sign-up, but it cannot diagnose addiction or replace an assessment by a qualified professional. Use each scale as a prompt for reflection. Consider setting limits or seeking support if a pattern concerns you. If social media use contributes to immediate danger, such as checking while driving, stop and seek appropriate help.
