Internet Addiction Test

Again not completely reliable but fun to take. Some questions do not reflect the possible addiction grade for example:

9. How often do you become defensive or secretive when anyone asks you what you do on-line?

One does not necesserily have to be secretive or feel guilty about one's internet habits.

OR

18. How often do you try to hide how long you've been on-line?

I have spent more than 10 hours online but did not hide that from anyone. When people ask me I let them know. This is an example of feeling proud about an internet addiction!
-------------------
The internet is a tool and can be used for creative or non-creative activities. It all depends on how one uses it. That is why spending a lot of time researching or learning or even just chilling out when that is neccessary, does not mean that one is enslaved to the internet. Rather the internet is enslaved to us. ;) Well at least sometimes!
