WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Virtualization Index of the Internet User's Personality Test

Internet User Personality Virtualization Index Test

cyberpsychologysocial networks

This self-report measure is designed to assess how strongly an individual’s psychological functioning is oriented toward online environments. The Internet User Personality Virtualization Index evaluates three related domains—immersion in virtual space, active online involvement, and the degree to which aspects of identity are integrated into internet-based contexts.

The questionnaire contains 33 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete. Items are intended for use with internet and social platform users in clinical screening or research contexts, with results interpreted in relation to the respondent’s online engagement and its perceived impact on behavior and self-experience.

The Internet User Personality Virtualization Index was described by Shalom H. Schwartz and may be used to identify patterns consistent with excessive online identification or potentially problematic use, while supporting treatment planning or further assessment when indicated.
