Digital Engagement and FOMO: Your Relationship with Smart Devices

Do you reach for your phone as soon as you wake up and open social media automatically while waiting in line? The constant need to check notifications and fear of missing out (FOMO) often drain our attention more than we realise. This test will help reveal your true level of screen engagement. Your answers will show how much time and energy you devote to browsing and how it affects your ability to concentrate in daily life. The test takes about 5 minutes.

How this test is built

The questionnaire presents 12 everyday situations that assess how you respond to notifications, your browsing habits, and your level of fear of missing out (FOMO). Each answer is assigned points, and the total—from 0 to 36—indicates your degree of digital engagement. This educational self-reflection tool can help you understand your habits but does not replace a formal diagnosis or professional advice.
