WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Am I Addicted to Video Games Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
Is gaming still a choice, or is it becoming difficult to control? This free, no-sign-up self-check looks at control and preoccupation, effects on daily life, and continued gaming as a way of coping. It cannot diagnose video game addiction, and its score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries rather than clinical cutoffs. If gaming is harming your health, safety, relationships, work, or education, consider talking with a mental health professional or another trusted source of support.
