How much do you lean on AI?

Ten questions, answered honestly, give you a score out of 40 and one suggestion. It is scored on this page. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent. It is not a diagnosis and it does not measure addiction: it is a mirror.

Think about the last two weeks.10 to go
1. I open an AI chat before I have tried to answer the question myself.
2. I ask AI things I could work out in a minute or two.
3. When AI gives me an answer, I use it without checking whether I agree.
4. I find it hard to start a piece of writing without asking AI first.
5. I feel stuck or uneasy when the AI is not available.
6. A day after using AI for a task, I struggle to explain what I handed in or sent.
7. I ask AI to make everyday choices for me, like what to say, buy or do.
8. I have meant to use AI less, then used it just as much.
9. I trust my own first answer less than I used to.
10. I turn to an AI chat for comfort or company when I feel low.

What this is. Ten questions we wrote ourselves, about habits. It is not a clinical test, it has not been validated in a study, and a high score does not mean anything is wrong with you. If your use of AI is causing you distress, a doctor or counsellor is the right person to talk to.
