    Default Internet Addiction, and the stupid biased tests that come along for the ride.

    http://www.netaddiction.com/resource...ction_test.htm

    I got 67.
    You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
    And here's some extended answers I typed up:


    How often do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended?
    I never 'intend' to stay on for a certain time. I intend to stay on until I fall asleep.


    How often do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
    I have a mother to do that shit.


    How often do you prefer the excitement of the Internet to intimacy with your partner?
    Excitement on the internet fuels my intamacy with my partner.


    How often do your grades or school work suffer because of the amount of time you spend on-line?
    I learn more from the internet than any teacher at my school could teach me.


    How often do you fear that life without the Internet would be boring, empty, and joyless?
    Life without internet is boring, empty, and joyless.


    How often do you snap, yell, or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you are on-line?
    I'm not acting annoyed.

    The Internet Addiction Test is the first validated and reliable measure of addictive use of the Internet.
    Great, really reliable there. The first time I filled it out it gave me a 20, filling every checkbox doesn't work. I totally nailed 100 the second time around though, I'm just that cool

    Your Internet usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the impact of the Internet on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Internet usage.
