WHO ISN’T? –
June 24, 2023 – The Smartphone Compulsion Test was developed by David Greenfield, who is the founder of The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.
It consists of 15 yes-or-no questions such as “Do you feel reluctant to be without your cell or smartphone, even for a short time?” and “When you eat meals, is your cell or smartphone always part of the table place setting?”
The more affirmative answers you give, the more likely your behavior is compulsive. If you answer “yes” to more than five questions, Greenfield classifies your smartphone usage as “problematic.”
Price notes that you might be alarmed by your own results: “The only way to score below a 5 on this test is to not have a smartphone,” she writes.
