Internet Addiction Quiz: consists of spending an inordinate amount of time on the Internet and inability to control use. Individuals who exhibit this syndrome tend to feel anxious, depressed or empty when they are not online. Their Internet use is so excessive; it begins to interfere with their functioning at work, at school or at home, leading individuals to start concealing the extent of their dependence on the Internet. Some individuals exhibit pathological Internet use for one particular purpose such as online sex, online shopping or online gambling, whereas others exhibit a general, global pattern of Internet addiction. To assess your level of Internet use, take this quiz.
