Tinder, Bumble, Hinge… Dating apps are designed to create addiction. Infinite swiping, push notifications and intermittent validation activate the same brain circuits as slot machines. Result: we swipe endlessly, we accumulate matches without ever committing, and our self-esteem fluctuates at the rate of likes.
This 20-question test assesses your relationship with dating apps: healthy or compulsive use? Designed by a CBT psychopractitioner, it helps you regain control.
What does this test measure?
- Compulsion to swipe – Frequency of use, difficulty putting the phone down, feeling missing without the app.
- Impact self-esteem – Fluctuation in self-confidence depending on the matches, comparison with other profiles.
- Validation dependency – Need likes and matches to feel desirable, empty when no one matches.
