This tendency is clear in you — here is what it reveals, to understand and move forward.

Dependency on online video games, mobile games or online gambling

Your high score points to video-game use that is hard to regulate and that can encroach on sleep, obligations or relationships. Modern games are designed to maximise engagement (goals, progressive rewards, a social dimension, intermittent reinforcement), which makes self-regulation objectively difficult — it is not a matter of willpower. One way of reading it, to weigh against your own experience, is that gaming often fills one or more functions: achievement and competence (progressing, succeeding), social connection (playing with others), escape (getting away from stress or boredom), emotional regulation. Identifying which of these functions dominates for you is valuable, because it points to the real need to be met in another way. Gaming is not the problem in itself — many people play without difficulty — but its place, when it throws the rest off balance, deserves attention.

Compulsive buying behaviour on the Internet (e-commerce, auctions, in-app)

This moderate score points to a tendency toward online purchases that are hard to control. Online buying combines ease of access (one click), instant gratification and a softening of the 'pain of paying' (cashless payment), all of which feed impulsivity. One avenue, to weigh against your own experience, is that compulsive buying often serves to regulate an emotion (to comfort yourself, to make up for a frustration, to fight boredom): the pleasure lies in the anticipation and the act of buying more than in ownership, which explains the dissatisfaction that often follows. The moderate level of the score suggests a tendency that is present but not overwhelming. Reintroducing 'friction' (delays, a cart set aside) and identifying the emotion that precedes a purchase are effective levers for regaining choice.

Compulsive consumption of online content (streaming, videos, news, pornography)

Your moderate score points to hard-to-regulate consumption of online content (videos, series, news feeds, infinitely scrolling content). 'Infinite scroll' and autoplay are precisely designed to remove natural stopping points, which is why we keep going well beyond our initial intention. One avenue, to weigh against your own experience, is that this consumption frequently serves as avoidance (of a task, of an emotion) or as a way to fill boredom, rather than a genuine choice. The moderate level of the score suggests use worth watching more than overwhelming use. Reintroducing stopping points (time limits, turning off autoplay) and identifying what the consumption lets you avoid are the main levers. As with the other areas, it is the function (escape, avoidance) more than the activity itself that deserves to be addressed.

Dependency on forms of digital communication (messaging, forums, chats)

This moderate score points to hard-to-regulate use of communication tools (messaging, online exchanges), with frequent checking. The social nature of these tools makes them especially 'sticky': they touch the need to belong and the fear of missing an important message. One avenue, to weigh against your own experience, is that compulsive checking often seeks to ease a faint anxiety (to be reachable, to miss nothing, to keep the bond alive) more than it answers a real necessity. The moderate level of the score suggests use worth watching. Telling apart the communication that genuinely nourishes connection from reflex checking, and setting windows of availability rather than permanent reachability, lets you reclaim attention for the present moment and the people physically there.
