Shopping & Spending Self-Assessment
This 28-question screening looks at in-store and online shopping habits, including carts, social media shopping, flash sales and “limited edition” drops. It takes about 5 minutes.
Please note: This is an educational self-reflection tool, not a diagnosis. Compulsive buying (also called oniomania or shopping addiction) is not an official diagnosis in the DSM-5, and this questionnaire is adapted from the structure of the Bergen Shopping Addiction Scale (Andreassen et al., 2015) with new items added. The new items have not been scientifically validated. Only a qualified mental health professional can assess you. Your answers stay in your browser and are not stored or sent anywhere.
Think about the last 12 months. How much does each statement describe you?
Please answer the highlighted questions.
