| The Internet Addict Quiz |
| I've been writing down the questions for this quiz as they came to me, so I'm not sure if it's made up or not. If you've read it somewhere before then I probably remembered it, if not, then I probably made it up. Enjoy! Directions: Get a piece of paper and number it 1-50. For each question, answer yes or no and write down your answer. Directions for scoring the quiz are at the bottom. |
