TecnoTest is a tool that has two main objectives:
- Screening or early detection of technological addictions (video games, mobile, social media) and gambling.
- Prevention guidelines.
It consists of 24 items, in which there are 12 items (three for each of the four addictions mentioned) that discriminate between those who make appropriate use of technologies or play without problems, and those who have a problem of addiction to gambling or technology. A score on all three items for an addiction is related to a probable addiction problem (gambling, video games, mobile or social media), which requires further assessment and probably specialised intervention. In the event that the person scores 1 or 2 items, specific guidelines will be required to prevent the onset of addiction.
