Social Media Addiction Test Results — Mild
Battling addiction & ready for help?
Your result
Mildon a scale of 6 to 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 show some habits worth watching, particularly around checking and comparison.
What tends to help at this level
- Cut the entry points: notifications off, apps off the home screen, log out on the browser.
- Notice which accounts leave you feeling worse and unfollow without ceremony.
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.
