20 - 49 points: 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.
50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
80 - 100 points: Your Internet usage is causing significant problems in your life. You should evaluate the  impact of the Internet on your life and address the problems directly caused by your Internet usage.
After you have identified the category that fits your total score‚ look back at those questions for which your scored a 4 or 5. Did you realize this was a significant problem for you? For example‚ if you answered 4 (often) to Question #2 regarding your neglect of household chores‚ were you aware of just how often your dirty laundry piles up or how empty the refrigerator gets?
Say you answered 5 (always) to Question #14 about lost sleep due to late-night log-ins. Have you ever stopped to think about how hard it has become to drag yourself out of bed every morning? Do you feel exhausted at work? Has this pattern begun to take its toll on your body and your overall health?
