What this is

This assessment measures patterns of device interaction that can fragment attention at work. It helps you identify whether use is primarily functional, drifting into habit, or interfering with performance.

What this is not

This is not a clinical diagnosis and not a disciplinary tool. If your results raise concern, consider discussing boundaries, stress regulation, or work design with a trusted professional.
