About the habits & dependency test
What it measures, and what your score means
What it measures
Whether a habit or substance feels harder to control than you'd like.
How scoring works
Each answer scores 0 to 3, for a total out of 60.
- 0–15 · in control
- 16–35 · early warning signs
- 36–50 · moderate dependence
- 51–60 · strong dependence
What to do next
If your result is early warning signs or higher, talking to someone early helps. Counselling & Therapy is available in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and online.
