Test
Am I really addicted?
A dozen questions, no sign-up. They do not judge what you consume: they shed light on frequency, consequences, how hard stopping is, and what the habit is doing for you.
Anonymous: no name, email or IP address. Answers are only used to follow overall trends.
What the test measures
Four axes, revisited question after question. Together they give a first map — not a verdict.
Frequency
Has the habit become a ritual — daily, every evening, every weekend — or does it stay occasional? High frequency alone is not addiction, but it shows the behaviour has taken a slot in the calendar.
Consequences
Health, wellbeing, relationships, money: what the habit already costs. An addiction can be defined quite simply as a habit with negative consequences. With no visible cost, the signal is weaker.
Difficulty stopping
Have you already tried to stop, started again, or felt you are no longer in charge? Permissive thoughts (“I'll deal with it tomorrow”, “I've earned it”) sit on this axis.
Function
What is the habit actually doing for you — stress, loneliness, energy, confidence, switching the mind off? The more power you give it, the stronger the dependence is likely to be.
What it does not measure
A self-questionnaire does not replace a conversation. It cannot see your medical history, the severity of a withdrawal, or what someone close to you notices while you still play it down.
Answers depend on honesty in the moment and on the specific habit you chose. Switching habits mid-test muddies the result. On a health topic, that limit matters as much as the score.
Take the test
Pick one habit before you click Start. The result opens a dedicated profile page — shareable, with no identity data.
This questionnaire gives you a first level of assessment to work out whether or not you are caught in an addiction.
For it to be useful, pick one specific habit (alcohol, sugar, screens, work, and so on) and keep that same one in mind for every question.
One important note: above all, make sure you also listen to your own sense of things, and to people close to you whom you trust. If you have the slightest doubt about your habit or your situation, do reach out to a professional.
Frequency : Has this consumption habit (sugar, tobacco, alcohol, drugs) or behaviour (sex, gambling) become a systematic ritual — daily, every evening, every weekend?
Impact : Have you already identified negative consequences of this habit in your life today?
You can pick several answers.
Failed attempts to stop : Have you already stopped for a few days, weeks or months without managing to make it last?
The emotional crutch : Would you say this habit helps you deal with stress, frustration, boredom or loneliness?
A state you are looking for : Would you say this habit makes you feel better overall, or brings you one or more particular states (calm, relief, energy, confidence, creativity, switching your mind off, and so on)?
Mental fog : Do you notice a general drop in your mental clarity or your creativity?
Permissive thoughts : Does your brain regularly build excuses to consume? (“I'll deal with it tomorrow”; “I've earned it”; “you only live once”; “you have to die of something”)
Secrecy : Do you feel the need to hide or play down this habit with your partner, your family or your friends?
Tiredness : Does the urge get stronger in the evening, or after a demanding day?
Apathy : Do your other interests feel less frequent, fewer, less interesting or less motivating than they used to?
Loss of control : Do you feel you are no longer fully in charge of this behaviour?
How to read your result
The score is not a diagnosis. A “low signal” profile does not erase a sincere doubt. A “likely caught” profile does not write your future: it mainly says several lights are on at once.
Look first at which axes stand out. High frequency without consequences is not the same map as hard stopping paired with a strong emotional function. The result page spells out what the profile means — and what it does not say.
What to do next
If the result barely fits, keep an eye on frequency and on what the habit gives you on hard days. If several signals match your experience, read how addiction works through needs, then see whether a structured framework would help.
The free 45-minute assessment is there for that: deepen the map with no commitment, in Caen or online.
Questions about the test
Is the test anonymous?
Yes. No name, email or IP address is asked for when you answer. Responses are stored anonymously only to follow overall trends — not to identify you or follow up with you.
How long does it take?
About a dozen questions, usually three to five minutes. Pick one specific habit before you start and keep it in mind throughout: the result is clearer that way.
Does it replace a medical opinion?
No. This is a self-assessment, not a diagnosis. Where withdrawal can be risky — alcohol in particular — or if you are in acute distress, contact a health professional or emergency services first.
Are my answers kept?
They are recorded without identity data, to see how profiles change over time. You do not create an account. Nothing links a result back to you as a person.
Does a high score mean I am addicted?
Not on its own. Several elevated indicators raise the likelihood of being caught, but the test maps tendencies. How you feel, people close to you, and a human conversation still decide what comes next.
What should I do after the result?
Read the profile page that opens: what it means, what it does not say, and possible next steps. If you want to go further, a free 45-minute assessment deepens the map with no commitment.
