    Scored 60. While I don't dream about being online and I don't think that life would be boring without it (not that I think it wouldn't, I just don't think about it), nor I make many relations online, I always loose sleep and my productivity really suffers (that's the thing I really wan't to fix). How many times you were off to something, but got distracted because of reading DP, checking mail, or researching some subject that is not essential to you righ now? You look at the clock and you see that you've just wasted an hour or more. What to do, really, I want to change this!

    I got a 24...the more time I spend on-line is typically directly proportional to my income---like a pretty high % of people here I would guess.

    You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

    I didn't need a quiz to tell me that.



    Wait, I just noticed this.... why are they offering virtual (chat room) counseling for Internet addictions?!?!?!

    Mine is 43, not bad i would say.

    You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

    48 here.

    I think it was a little low. I love the Internet and probably am on it too often, but I have a zillion other things to do.

    64.
    However it's all because of the four last questions. I don't try to reduce my online time, I have nothing to hide, I never miss an opportunity to go out (after all, when you come back, you can still log in) and all this doesn't make me nervous :)
