Video Game Addiction Test Results — Mild
Battling addiction & ready for help?
Your result
Mildon a scale of 0 to 9
Researchers treat 5 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: nine-item gaming disorder screen (Ko and colleagues, 2020), 9 questions.
Your answers show a few patterns worth watching, around time and stopping.
What tends to help at this level
- Set the stop point before you start, not during.
- Watch spending as closely as time — that is often where it turns first.
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 video game addiction, or speak to a clinician.
