Shopping Addict Test app for iPhone and iPad

A study by the American Journal of Psychiatry found one out of 12 people are compulsive shoppers — and their shopping habits often damage their work, relationships and finances.

This test is intended as a general guide to identify your shopping habits and your attitudes towards spending and purchasing.

Shopping only with friends or relatives who do not compulsively spend is a good idea, as they can help you to limit your spending. Finding alternative ways of enjoying your leisure time is essential to breaking the cycle of using shopping as way of trying to feel better about yourself. Remember, you are a worthwhile person, no matter how much or how little you own.
