Internet Addiction Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure screens for problematic patterns of internet use that may be associated with functional impairment. The Internet Addiction Test is commonly used to quantify the extent to which online behavior interferes with daily responsibilities, social relationships, or emotional well-being.
Developed by Kimberly S. Young, it consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Item content focuses on indicators such as preoccupation with being online, difficulty limiting use, distress when unable to access the internet, and perceived impact on productivity or interpersonal functioning.
The Internet Addiction Test is intended for screening and clinical triage rather than standalone diagnosis; results should be interpreted in context of age, setting, and other relevant clinical information.
