Freudly really helped me discover parts of my personality I hadn’t noticed before. It strengthened the areas where I needed to grow and made me feel more grounded and confident in the parts that already worked well.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Screening Diagnosis of Computer Addiction Test

Computer Addiction Screening Assessment Test

This brief self-report screener is designed to identify potential problems related to excessive computer and internet use. The Computer Addiction Screening Assessment provides an initial indication of whether a respondent may be experiencing clinically relevant patterns of dysregulated use.

The measure includes 11 items and takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items query common behavioral and functional indicators of problematic use and are intended for preliminary screening in clinical, educational, or workplace settings; it is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool. The Computer Addiction Screening Assessment was developed by Kimberly S. Young, and results should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview and other relevant assessment data.
