The Internet Addiction Test — The IAT

The IAT is the first and only psychometric test for Internet addiction. It provides objective data for clinical assessments and has been widely cited in the research and translated in several languages.  Among similar tests, the IAT provides:

  1. Standardization – The IAT is based on results from a sample population that’s truly representative of the people who’ll be taking the test. It is also a standardized test administered the same way every time to help reduce any test bias. By using a standardized test, you can compare the results with anyone whose characteristics are similar to those of the sample group.
  2. Reliability – The IAT produces consistent results and is not be significantly influenced by outside factors. For instance, the test results are consistent over time and independent of mood.
  3. Validity – This is perhaps the most important quality of the IAT. Studies support that the IAT is a valid test. A valid test has to measure what it’s intended to measure. If a test is supposed to measure a person’s interests, then it must clearly demonstrate that it does actually measure interests, and not something else that’s just related to interests.

There is a $110 license fee to use the IAT in any research project. The IAT comes with a complete administration and scoring guide. The free version is online at Netaddiction.com and this will automatically score the test.
