About the Screen Time Test
The MindRot Screen Time Testis a 12-question self-report assessment that turns your everyday phone behavior into a single 0–100 dependency score. There's no trivia and no “guess the meme” — every question is about what you actually do with your phone in a typical day.
We chose self-report over passive tracking on purpose: the gap between how you think you use your phone and what Screen Time reports back is usually where the insight lives. The test takes about two minutes, gives you a tier and a one-paragraph interpretation, and produces a shareable result link.
If you'd rather a goofier, more viral test about your meme literacy, take the Brain Rot Quiz instead — it measures something completely different.
FAQ
- What does the MindRot Screen Time Test measure?
- It measures self-reported phone habits across twelve dimensions — daily hours, morning and night use, unlock frequency, short-form video consumption, second-screen behavior, and attention span — to produce a 0 to 100 dependency score and a tier from 'Disciplined' to 'Owned by the phone'.
- Is this a clinical or medical assessment?
- No. The Screen Time Test is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical screening for behavioral addiction. If your phone use is causing real distress, please speak with a qualified professional.
- How long does the test take?
- Around two minutes — twelve multiple-choice questions, no sign-up, no email. Your score is shown immediately and you get a shareable link.
- What's a healthy screen time?
- There's no universal number, but most research points to harm clustering above 4 to 5 hours per day of non-work use, especially short-form video before sleep. Quality matters more than total — passive scrolling is more strongly linked to mood and focus issues than active communication.
- How does MindRot help if my score is high?
- MindRot is an iPhone app blocker built around the idea that willpower fails late at night. It lets you schedule focus sessions, block apps in batches, and run an instant 'Zen Mode' that you can't bypass with a tap. The download is free on the App Store.
