Editing Computer addiction (section)

== Diagnostic Test==
Many studies and surveys are being conducted to measure the extent of this type of addiction. Kimberly Young has created a questionnaire based on other disorders to assess the level of addiction. It is called the Internet Addict Diagnostic Questionnaire or IADQ. The questionnaire asks users about their online usage habits as well as their feelings about their internet usage. According to the IADQ sample, Internet Addiction resembles that of a Gambling disorder. Answering positively to five out of the eight questions on the IADQ may be indicative of online addiction.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Young |first1=Kimberly |title=Internet Addiction Test (IAT) Sample |url=https://www.stoeltingco.com/media/wysiwyg/IAT_web_sample.pdf |publisher=Stoelting |accessdate=15 November 2018 |archive-date=23 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181123061817/https://www.stoeltingco.com/media/wysiwyg/IAT_web_sample.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

According to the article "''Validating the Distinction between Computer Addiction and Engagement: Online Game Playing and Personality''", the authors introduced a test to help identify the differences between addiction and engagement. Based on similar ideas, here are some ways to distinguish between computer engagement and addiction.<ref>Charlton, JohnP., and IanD. W. Danforth.
