I found this test while surfing around and thought it could be interesting.

Quote:

How do you know if you're already addicted or rapidly tumbling toward trouble? The Internet Addiction Test is the first validated and reliable measure of addictive use of the Internet. Click here to read the study. Developed by Dr. Kimberly Young, the IAT is a 20-item questionnaire that measures mild, moderate, and severe levels of Internet Addiction.

I scored 45, which means:
You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

I was totally addicted for a long while and I think I still am to an extent but it's getting better

Oh dear,

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

Admittedly i do spend waaay too much time on the internet.

Your Internet usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the impact of the Internet on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Internet usage.

Oh my... I got a 78. And I think the fact that I'm currently web browsing on my phone is testament to that.
