Ways to Tell if You Are a Shopaholic

Are you addicted to shopping? Psychologists at Norway's University of Bergen came up with a simple, seven-question quiz to determine whether your love of shopping is actually an addiction.

Here’s the quiz. If you "agree" or "completely agree" with at least four of these statements, then you have symptoms of shopping addiction.

1. You think about shopping (or buying things) all the time.

2. You shop or buy things in order to change your mood.

3. Shopping has made you miss a daily obligation (like school, an appointment, work).

4. You need to shop/buy more and more to feel as good about it as you used to.

5. You try to shop less but you can't.

6. You feel bad if something prevents you from shopping/buying things.

7. You shop so much it makes you feel bad (it has impaired your well being). (Daily Mail)
