About this instrument

Phones make almost everything easier, sometimes to the point where it's hard to put them down. This test uses the Smartphone Addiction Scale - Short Version (SAS-SV), a short scale widely used in research across many countries, to see how much your phone affects your daily life.

What you'll get:

Your dependence level , from The Balanced User to The Glued-to-Phone

A result card to save and share

Small steps to reset your phone habits

About this test: 10 statements, about 2 minutes. This is a self-reflection test , not a diagnosis.

What it reflects on

  • Smartphone Dependence

How to take it

Choose how much you agree with each statement, based on how you've been using your phone lately.

There are no right or wrong answers.

Answer based on what actually happens, not what you'd like to do.

This test is for self-reflection, not diagnosis. "Smartphone addiction" is not an official diagnosis. If phone use is disrupting school, work, sleep, or relationships and is hard to cut back on your own, talk to a psychologist.
