Phone Addiction Test Results — Low
Battling addiction & ready for help?
Your result
Lowon a scale of 10 to 60
Researchers treat 31 or higher as the point where it is worth looking more closely. Yours is below that. The published at-risk cutoff is 31 for men and 33 for women; we screen at the lower of the two.
That does not make a worry imaginary. A questionnaire only counts patterns — if your use bothers you, that matters whatever the number says.
Screen used: Smartphone Addiction Scale, Short Version (Kwon and colleagues, 2013), 10 questions.
Your answers point to fairly ordinary phone use.
What tends to help at this level
- Most people have a few habits they would change. At this level small adjustments are usually enough.
- Decide which moments you want the phone out of — meals, bed, the first hour of the day — and start with one.
Where to go next
This is a self-check, not a diagnosis. No questionnaire can tell you whether you have a condition, and a low score does not mean nothing is wrong if it is affecting your life. Read more about phone addiction, or speak to a clinician.
