Question 1 of 8

When does your phone habit feel strongest?

What is a phone addiction archetype?

Not all phone overuse looks the same. Some people scroll endlessly through feeds, others compulsively check notifications, and others use their phone as an emotional escape. The archetype quiz identifies which pattern best describes your relationship with your phone so that any intervention you try actually targets the right behaviour.

Why one-size-fits-all advice fails

Most digital wellbeing advice is generic: "use your phone less." But if your core issue is anxiety-driven checking, turning off social media will not help. If your pattern is boredom scrolling, a notification blocker misses the point. Understanding your archetype means understanding the trigger behind the behaviour - and that is where lasting change starts.

How the archetype quiz works

Eight questions about when, why, and how you reach for your phone. The quiz identifies patterns in your answers and maps them to one of several archetypes - each with a specific set of strategies that research and behavioural science suggest are most effective for that type. The result includes both your archetype description and practical steps tailored to your pattern.
