How to use your result
Your score is a snapshot of how you have been feeling or behaving recently. It is meant for self-reflection, education and research and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. Where a scale has no published norm entered on PsiQ, we do not invent one, so you will see raw scores rather than made-up percentiles.
Frequently asked questions
Is smartphone addiction a recognised disorder?+
It is not an official diagnosis, although gaming disorder is recognised in the ICD-11. These scales measure problematic use rather than diagnose addiction.
How much screen time is too much?+
There is no single number. What matters is whether your use harms sleep, work, studies, relationships or mood, or feels out of control.
How can I reduce phone use?+
Turning off notifications, setting app limits and keeping the phone out of the bedroom are practical first steps.
