I don't intend one way or the other

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.
