Congratulations, your score is: 38

After you've answered all the questions, add the numbers you selected for each response to obtain a final score. The higher your score, the greater your level of addiction and the problems your Internet usage causes. Here's a general scale to help measure your score:

20 - 49 points: 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.

50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

80 - 100 points: 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.

After you have identified the category that fits your total score, look back at those questions for which your scored a 4 or 5. Did you realize this was a significant problem for you? For example, if you answered 4 (often) to Question #2 regarding your neglect of household chores, were you aware of just how often your dirty laundry piles up or how empty the refrigerator gets?

Say you answered 5 (always) to Question #14 about lost sleep due to late-night log-ins. Have you ever stopped to think about how hard it has become to drag yourself out of bed every morning? Do you feel exhausted at work? Has this pattern begun to take its toll on your body and your overall health?

No idea but i can recall being told i love my pc more than her, that was near impossible to lie about and convince her it was not true. Never worked :D

She did deserve a medal that is for sure. Naaa DJ she barely used to be on the pc.

she barely used to be on the pc.

Until you installed the "stimulator" on the monitor?

[killadoob]

Not unexpected haha

There was a time when i did not just stay at home and chill. There was a time when i went to stone water, truth, rave's at electric splash etc. Now i dunno i just enjoy not getting Fed up on a weekend.

Watch loads of sports, play on the computer and i enjoy it far more than getting messed up at a club or drinking at braai.

When they say internet though do they mean gaming? Cause my score would be different if gaming was not included. Most of time on the net is spent gaming. I suppose that should be considered the internet right?
