Found this test this morning:

I got a 52:
50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
I agree.
I'll see you guys later. :)
It's about time you focused attention on Aida ;D

Exactly. Not to mention the glorious weather on my day off. :)
My score was 25. Just what I thought - I'm not addicted to anything. ;)

Haha! (Except you know what..)
24 for me - but where's the "Never" option? "Rarely" doesn't apply to some of the questions for me.

Same as Simon.
39, but I do get complaints/comments from my wife...

Didn't you read the fine print? Complaints from a wife automatically gives you a score of 79.
29 here.

That's why they had an option "Does not apply." But they also had both "Frequently" and "Often" as options, for those who want to make fine distinctions.
My score = 41.
79 - You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
My life is the internet...stupid test ;D

This is ridiculous. Look, I know I'm an addict, no need to hide it from me, OK?

Yes, I felt the same way. I think they raised the bar too high so that no one (except sarge ;D) is an addict. :-\
Yes. And calling me average too. What nerve!

I have such control over my usage, I hardly ever mash links to questionnaires 8)
A few months ago my score was in the 80s, but now it's in the 20s. Me happy. :)
I have found that my addiction is so complete as to render that test inapplicable to me.
Quote1. How often do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended?
I never set a limit, so I cannot really say "always".
Quote9. How often do you become defensive or secretive when anyone asks you what you do on-line?
Why be apologetic about something that is so integral to one's worldview, routine and feelings of joy?
According to the test, I score 42. That would say I'm an average user. Any, ANY, outside observer would contest the absurdity of that notion.

Care to share how you made that jump? :)
I've just taken the test now, with a score of 36. I especially like the diction of some of the social quesions (i.e Have I ever been ashamed of telling people about what I do online)... quite amusing. :)
24.
I'll live, I suppose. :)

Feels a little low...
You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.
With a score of just 21, I barely made it into the rankings.
The question which most amused me was this one:
How often do you block out disturbing thoughts about your life with soothing thoughts of the Internet?
I'd say your clearly addicted if you know what this means:
Guess I am! ;D
Very funny!
Cat macros rule.
