Your result

Lowon a scale of 6 to 30

Low6–11
Mild12–18
Moderate19–24
High25–30

Researchers treat 19 or higher as the point where it is worth looking more closely. Yours is below that.

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: Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (Andreassen and colleagues, 2012), 6 questions.

Your answers point to ordinary use.

What tends to help at this level

  • Ordinary use. If nothing about it bothers you, nothing here needs changing.

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 social media addiction, or speak to a clinician.
