Almost flawless. You’ve got a brain like a perfectly-ripe peach, unencumbered by the demands of our attention economy. Your only problem is that you probably don’t understand any memes (and all your friends are secretly jealous of you).

15-25

Not bad. You can’t resist a trending topic and you sometimes let the autoplay roll, but it’s all part of a balanced 21st-century life, isn’t it? Do the occasional lunge and switch your phone’s Bedtime mode on, and you’ll be fine.

5-15

Room for improvement. You’re over-reliant on something — social media drama, true crime TV, an LLM telling you all your ideas are great — and you need to switch off occasionally. Go for a walk, the weather’s probably nice.

5 or less

Oh dear. On the bright side, it’s impressive that you’ve made it this far through the quiz without getting distracted by an AI-generated video of a beatboxing hamster. Click below for much needed advice, then stick your phone in a drawer.
