How the result is decided
Every answer feeds one overall score, and that score falls into one of 3 bands. The bands are levels of the same thing, not different kinds of person.
The automatic reachNot being able to stopWhat it is taking
This is a screening-style questionnaire, not a diagnosis. A high score is a reason to talk to someone who can assess properly.
All 3 types
📱The Wide OrbitThe phone is mostly a tool. You go around it and you come back, and going away is not something you have to win an argument about.📱The Narrowing OrbitThe pull wins more often than it loses. Not a catastrophe, and not something willpower is going to fix, because willpower was never the part that was failing.📱The Captured MoonThe cost is no longer subtle. And at this level the problem has usually stopped being the phone — it is what the phone has been standing in front of.
