WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
YouTube Addiction Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
This free, no-sign-up YouTube Addiction Quiz helps you reflect on control over viewing, effects on daily life, and emotional reliance on the platform. It is a quick, non-diagnostic self-check—not proof of addiction and not a clinical or legal assessment. Answer based on the past three months. Any pattern affecting safety, sleep, responsibilities, relationships, or wellbeing matters regardless of your total. If YouTube use feels unmanageable or has created danger, consider contacting a qualified health professional or trusted support person.
