So I openly admit I have nomophobia. What\u2019s nomophobia you ask? It\u2019s the fear of being out of contact with your mobile phone. This might sound crazy to you, but more than 66% of the population suffers from nomophobia. (This is the most recent number I could find, so it’s probably even higher now.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Take the Nomophobia Quiz and Find Out If You Have It<\/h2>\n

1. When do you first check your phone?<\/p>\n

a. \u00a0As soon as you wake up
\nb. \u00a0During Breakfast
\nc. \u00a0On the way to work
\nd. \u00a0When you get a message<\/p>\n

2. How often do you check it?<\/p>\n

a. \u00a0Every 4 minutes
\nb. \u00a0Every 30 minutes
\nc. \u00a0Every hour
\nd. \u00a0Couple of times a day<\/p>\n

3. Where do you keep your mobile phone while you sleep?<\/p>\n

a. \u00a0Under the pillow
\nb. \u00a0Beside the bed
\nc. \u00a0Other side of the room
\nd. \u00a0In another room<\/p>\n

4. Do you take your phone with you to the bathroom?<\/p>\n

a. \u00a0Usually
\nb. \u00a0Sometimes
\nc. \u00a0You\u2019ve considered it
\nd. \u00a0Never<\/p>\n

5. What do you mostly use your phone for?<\/p>\n

a. \u00a0Social media
\nb. \u00a0Emails
\nc. \u00a0Music and games
\nd. \u00a0Texts and calls<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to tally up the total. For every answer that was \u201cA\u201d give yourself 8 points, \u201cB\u201d is 6 points, \u201cC\u201d is 4 points and \u201cD\u201d is 2 points.<\/p>\n

If you scored between 10\u201315 points there is no evidence of nomophobia. Ranging\u00a0between 16\u201328 points puts you on a slippery slope. And well, if your score was 29\u201340 points, you have an addiction.<\/p>\n

If you feel you need to give yourself all the points for every answer on question 5, you\u2019re in real trouble, but that\u2019s OK\u2014I\u2019m there right along with you.<\/p>\n

So Why Do I Think It\u2019s OK That I Have Nomophobia?<\/h3>\n

My phone makes my life easier. The minute it stops doing that, I\u2019ll stop using it. It also makes the lives of all those around me easier. They can communicate with me when they want, when they need, and when they have time.<\/p>\n

I love my mobile phone because I can \u2026<\/p>\n
