Before taking the test, please create a quiet and safe environment. Dependence and addiction issues often involve very private behaviors, such as excessive phone use, gaming addiction, impulse buying, overeating, relationship dependence, work addiction, or substance use. If the environment is unsafe, you may subconsciously hide your true answers. Please choose a time and place where you will not be disturbed, and ensure that your screen and records will not be seen by others. Safety is not a formality, but rather a means to honestly confront the cravings, avoidances, and loss of control that are troubling you. The safer the environment, the less shame and defensiveness you will experience, and the closer the test will be to your true state. Treat this environment as a form of self-protection. In a safe environment, you are more likely to speak the truth. Treat this as a gentle self-observation, not as drawing conclusions about yourself. Dependence and addiction tests are not meant to humiliate you, but to help you see the relationship between pain, cravings, avoidances, and loss of control. You don't need to perform well or hide your discomfort; just try to be as close to your true feelings as possible. If dependent behaviors are causing significant risks to safety, health, finances, or relationships, please seek professional support in person.

Before taking the test, please set aside expectations of right or wrong. Dependence and addiction issues can easily lead to shame, making you feel weak, undisciplined, or that you shouldn't have these cravings. There are no right or wrong answers here, nor is it a judgment of your character. You simply need to answer as truthfully as possible: which behaviors are difficult to stop, when are they most likely to occur, do you feel temporary comfort afterward, and do you feel regret, emptiness, or impact afterwards? The purpose of Socratic questioning is to help you understand the emotions and needs behind your behavior, not to push you into self-blame. Honest answers are more helpful than flattering ones. Please put aside judgments and focus on observation. You are not here to be humiliated, but to understand yourself. Please treat this as a gentle self-observation, not to draw conclusions about yourself. Dependence and addiction-related tests are not meant to humiliate you, but to help you see the relationship between pain, craving, avoidance, and loss of control.

Before taking the test, please realize that anxiety does not equal a problem. When faced with dependence and addiction, people often worry about being labeled as "lacking self-control" or "problematic," and are afraid to see the sense of loss of control behind their behavior. Please don't treat this anxiety as a failure. You can use it as a clue to observe: When anxiety arises, what do you most want to do? Scroll through your phone, eat, shop, seek confirmation from someone, drink alcohol, smoke, work, or escape into a game? Anxiety is not a sin, nor is it a conclusion; it's simply a reminder that your mind and body are seeking comfort and security. Answering with a little unease can still be very authentic. Don't fight anxiety; first, acknowledge it. It will help you understand where dependent behaviors begin. Please treat this as a gentle self-observation, not as drawing conclusions about yourself.

Before taking the test, please allow yourself 10 to 15 minutes of focused time. Dependence and addiction cannot be simply summarized as "I can't control it." It often involves a process of triggers, cravings, brief relief, regret, and relapse. Please do not complete this test while commuting, during work breaks, or when disturbed. Take your time to reflect: Have you recently found yourself unable to stop using your phone, games, shopping, eating, relationships, work, or other material things? What were your emotions before these behaviors occurred? What were the consequences afterward? Focused time is not a burden, but rather a way to prevent you from judging yourself based on vague impressions. Slowing down allows you to see the true pain that dependence serves. Please dedicate these 10-15 minutes to yourself. Treat this as a gentle self-observation, not as drawing conclusions.

Before taking the test, allow for feelings of uncertainty and ambiguity. Dependent behaviors are often hidden within daily habits, making them difficult to diagnose clearly at the outset. You may not know if you are addicted, or whether a certain behavior is relaxation or escapism. Please don't force yourself to give an absolute answer immediately; choose the closest possible answer, or mentally note the areas of ambiguity. The test isn't about labeling you, but about helping you observe the frequency, intensity, consequences, and emotional context of your behavior. Ambiguity itself is an important clue, reminding you that you need a more nuanced understanding of yourself. Uncertainty can also be recorded. Observe slowly, and the dependency cycle will become clearer. Please treat this as a gentle self-observation, not as drawing conclusions about yourself.

Before taking the test, please review your recent physical and mental state. You can observe the past two weeks to a month: which behaviors recur, are they difficult to stop, and do they worsen when stressed, lonely, depressed, angry, or bored? Also, pay attention to changes in your body and life, such as poor sleep, fatigue, decreased concentration, financial stress, relationship conflicts, health damage, or impact on work or study. Don't just summarize it as "I do this occasionally," and don't judge based solely on how you feel today. Looking at your recent state together will help the test more accurately reflect the patterns, functions, and costs of dependent behaviors. The timeline will help you see the emotional patterns behind the behaviors. Please review with facts, not cover yourself with shame. Please treat this as a gentle self-observation, not as drawing conclusions.

Before taking the test, approach it with an exploratory, not diagnostic, mindset. Dependency and addiction tests can help you understand risks and patterns, but they cannot replace professional diagnosis or label you. Treat the questions as a mirror, not a verdict. Observe: When do you most want to depend on something? What emotions precede the behavior? Is there temporary comfort after the behavior, or does it come at a cost? What you truly need may be comfort, connection, rest, boundaries, or support. An exploratory mindset reduces shame and makes it easier to answer honestly. The test results are just an entry point; what truly matters is understanding yourself and finding direction for future changes. Please don't reduce yourself to a name. You are learning to see the needs behind the behavior. Treat this as a gentle self-observation, not drawing conclusions about yourself. Dependency and addiction tests are not meant to shame you, but to help you see the relationship between pain, craving, avoidance, and loss of control.

Before taking the test, please be prepared to accept any discomfort you may experience. Dependence and addiction often bring shame and self-blame, especially when you realize that a certain behavior is affecting your life; it can be very distressing. Please don't blame yourself for feeling uncomfortable, and don't try to tough it out until it becomes more painful. You can pause at any time, take a deep breath, drink water, and make sure you are in a safe environment before deciding whether to continue. If the dependent behavior has brought significant risks to your safety, health, finances, or relationships, please seek in-person professional support first. This test is not meant to embarrass you, but to help you see where you need care. Being able to pause and protect yourself is also an important ability. Please prioritize your safety.

Before taking the test, please ensure your privacy and protect your answer records. Content related to dependence and addiction may include sensitive and private behaviors and feelings, such as loss of control, relapse, regret, self-blame, relationship conflict, or financial stress. If you are worried about others seeing your answers, you may simplify or hide them. Please complete the test in a private environment, avoid having others near the screen, and do not send your records to untrustworthy individuals. If you save the results, please keep them in a place you can control. Privacy protection is not about hiding shame, but about giving your true self a safe boundary. You can keep them yourself or discuss them with a professional if needed. A safe boundary makes it easier for the truth to emerge. Please treat your dependence records as something worth protecting.

Before taking the test, please clarify your purpose: to better understand and help yourself. Dependency and addiction tests are not meant to scare you or label you, but to help you see the connections between behaviors, emotions, cravings, and consequences. The results are just information, not destiny. You can use them to determine if you need to reduce triggering environments, record trigger points, establish boundaries, seek support, or undergo further professional evaluation. Please do not treat the results as evidence of self-attack, but as clues to taking care of yourself. Being willing to understand your dependency patterns is itself an important step towards change.

Before taking the test, please think about how you will use the results. The results are not for self-blame, but to help you decide on your next steps. You can use them as a recent status record, or discuss them with a counselor, doctor, or someone you trust. If the results indicate mild distress, you can start by recording triggers, reducing stimuli, delaying impulses, and finding alternative comfort.
