I think, these all tests don't give full and exact information about Person... By one simple cause: because Everybody from Us is individual,
hence, and test for Everyone necessary is own, individual...
P.S. But this is only my private opinion...

Addiction can be due to different things. If a person smokes and cannot give up this bad habit, it is an addiction. If a person regularly drinks a lot of alcohol and cannot limit himself, then this is an addiction. If a person plays a lot of poker, loses a lot of money and can't stop, it's an addiction. But if a person plays poker regularly for fun without losing money, even if he doesn't win, it's just a hobby that brings joy to life. And the bonus to this is brain training and intelligence development. The main thing is that at the same time there is no harm to work, family and health. So take care of yourself and your family and play poker for good, not harm.

I like the idea in general. It is a good thing to fresh your mind from the game frequently and come with a clear mind. =)

I'm addicted to playing tournaments because I chose this modality and with a lot of discipline I only play it to specialize in a modality to have great results being an expert in it.

For me, there is no need for such restrictions. For me, poker is just a hobby, an entertainment that brings pleasure. I play in the evenings, after work, and for me it is a kind of relaxation.

I think poker also has a lot to do with your own personality. Whether you want to admit it or not, in my opinion poker players are more willing to take risks in life and are more suffering menthally than the majority. Poker is a kind of "valve" for the suffering pressure. That's why we see the game as a hobby in the first place, because it brings us joy but also sadness. This sinusoidal curve of feelings makes us alive again and exactly that is dangerous if you don't have a strong will or the experience and calmness.

Therefore, I think that we came to play poker for a reason and no matter how many tests we do, we will always have a place in our hearts for poker.

I found the following proposal in Scandinavia.

Check if you can hold out:
- Refrain from playing one day a week.
- Give up one week a month.
- Refrain from addiction for a whole month a year.

What do you think of this proposal?

Interesting side effect:
If you persevere, approx. 39% of all days of the year are free of play.
I stopped playing for months in a row before, so I'm gonna say no I'm not :)

I don't think I'm addicted to gambling, I play when I can, otherwise I don't play.

In my opinion, poker is not as addictive as any gambling and vending machines

I think it's very soft, and not a meaningful test ...a get out of jail free card for those addicts in denial.

My father could pass that test and he's a head-pickled alcoholic!

The only way to address any addiction is 100% abstinence.

I do not have such a problem . I can stop playing anytime , then play again when I feel so . I play when I want . Maybe when I started playing online I had an addicted behaviour, but that lasted so w months , then things went under control . Although addicted is a word with negative meaning . I wanted to play , I liked and it was fun . I was just playing many hours . I was younger , the age helped on this.

For me with my small bankrool ending up going some periods without playing, I don't feel desperate to get back to poker, but when I got involved with betting and casino, I had a hard time.
2023 just poker and nothing else.
