About this test

Nearly everyone's relationship with their phone has a few rough edges, but the specific edge differs from person to person — some people can't put social media down, others lose hours to information they never act on, and others use screens mainly to avoid something harder happening in real life.

This test doesn't measure how many hours you spend on your phone in total; it asks about the pattern behind that time — what pulls you back in, what you feel when you put the phone down, and what you're usually doing instead of the thing you meant to do.

A result like SNS Addict Type or Digital Burnout Type points to notifications and constant connection as your main pressure point, while Info Flood Type flags a habit of endless consumption without action. Sleep Destroyer Type calls out your bedtime screen habits specifically, and Reality Escapist Type suggests you reach for a screen most often when something offline feels uncomfortable.

Think about what a typical evening looks like for each type: an SNS Addict Type might check three apps before even getting out of bed, an Info Flood Type might have thirty browser tabs open by lunchtime with none of them finished, a Sleep Destroyer Type might promise "just five more minutes" at midnight and look up an hour later, and a Reality Escapist Type might open a game the moment a difficult email lands in their inbox. None of these snapshots are dramatic on their own — they're small, repeated choices that add up over weeks. Seeing your own evening described back to you, even in a lighthearted quiz, can be oddly clarifying in a way that a vague sense of "I should use my phone less" usually isn't.

None of these results are a diagnosis of "addiction" in the clinical sense — they're closer to a mirror held up to one week of habits, and the reflection can look different a month from now depending on what's going on in your life.

Whatever your type, the attached tips are meant as a starting point, not a full plan: pick one — turning off a specific notification, moving the charger out of the bedroom, setting a fixed news-check window — and try it for a few days before adding another.
