Interpretation of your Score:

0 – 20 points
Likelihood of Video Game Addiction: LOW

Based on your answers, it does not appear that your child is addicted to video games or has a problem with excessive gaming. Keep in mind that playing video games is now very common for both children and teens. It is still possible that your child occasionally plays for too long or neglects other responsibilities in favor of gaming – as long as this is not happening often it is probably nothing to be too concerned about. It is likely that your child plays video games as a way of relaxing, socializing with friends, or for simple entertainment, and that his or her play does not often interfere with other more important activities. The limits and structure you have provided for your child appear to working – keep it up!


21 – 40 points
Likelihood of Video Game Addiction: MODERATE

Based on your answers, it is possible that your child is developing problematic video gaming habits. While he or she may not yet be “addicted” you have probably noticed that some areas in his or her life are starting to be affected by excessive play. For example, you may have noticed that your child’s school grades have slipped, that he / she has an erratic sleeping schedule due to gaming, and that he / she has lost interest in formerly enjoyable activities. At this point you are in a prime position to step in and make the changes necessary to prevent your child’s excessive gaming habits from becoming an addiction. As a parent it is important to set clear boundaries, limits, and expectations for your child…and rules for video games are no exception.


41 – 60 points
Likelihood of Video Game Addiction: HIGH

Based on your answers, it is likely that your child is currently exhibiting many symptoms of video game addiction and that excessive video game play has affected multiple areas of his or her life. For example, it is likely that school grades have suffered, that your child seems disconnected from the family, and that he or she has lost interest in most activities other than gaming. If you have encouraged your child to cut back on his or her playing time this was likely met with resistance, defensiveness, or anger. Remember that you are still the parent and as such, must impose limits on your child that he or she will not like or understand at the time. For clear instructions on exactly how to do this, you may want to download How To Help Children Addicted to Video Games - A Guide for Parents. Addictionally, if you feel that you need extra help in setting and enforcing these limits, it may be useful to book a consultation with a psychologist or counsellor in your area.  


61 – 80 points
Likelihood of Video Game Addiction: VERY HIGH

Based on your answers, it is very likely that your child is addicted to video games and that this is negatively affecting numerous areas of his life. At this point it is likely that video games (probably MMORPG, real time strategy, or first person shooters) are the center of his or her world and that few (if any) other activities are of interest. He or she probably shows little or no interest in schoolwork, despite an almost certain deterioration in grades. In extreme cases, he or she may no longer be attending school. Your child probably plays video games until very late at night and may be sleeping during the day. Attempts to get him or her to cut back have probably been unsuccessful and met with considerable defensiveness or anger. It is important to consider the possibility that your child’s video game addiction is not only a problem in and of itself, but also co-exists with another psychological or emotional problem (such as depression). Given the extent of the problem based on your answers, it is clear that action must be taken. If you do not feel capable of dealing with this situation entirely by yourself, you may find it helpful to book a consultation with a psychologist or counsellor in your area.
