No, that's just general laziness
12. How often do you fear that life without the Internet would be boring, empty, and joyless?
It's not going anywhere so I don't think about it at all
13. How often do you snap, yell, or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you are on-line?
That's just my general bitchiness after a Flames loss
15. How often do you feel preoccupied with the Internet when off-line, or fantasize about being on-line?
Just a weird questions. It's not my luvr
16. How often do you find yourself saying "just a few more minutes" when on-line?
I don't set a timelimit so never
17. How often do you try to cut down the amount of time you spend on-line and fail?
see above
19. How often do you choose to spend more time on-line over going out with others?
If I wasn't on the net it would be due to the TV or something else
20. How often do you feel depressed, moody, or nervous when you are off-line, which goes away once you are back on-line?

Agreed on almost all of these. Besides that, internet is my form of entertainment when I'm home. I suppose you could say I'm pretty addicted to internet, but as long as you'd use that very same word when describing a bookworm or someone that constantly tinkers with an old beater in the garage. Pure entertainment.
I barely watch tv because I can't watch what I want when I want (I could get a pvr, but I just don't care about tv). I don't play video games. I'm not much of a movie person... I just like bouncing around and reading about whatever pops into my head.
Internet is like every book in the world compacted into Popular Science-like snippets. I can read wikipedia all day long. And then all night long. And all the while, checking CP for replies to one of my driving rants...
So yeah, I thought it was going to be more of a 'fun' test, but at the end, it's offering counselling to people. I don't think the questions that were asked could properly assess someone who is anti-social as opposed to someone that just prefers surfing the net whenever they're around a computer.
All that said, I got a 39. I thought it would be higher.
