WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
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.
