Shopping Addiction Quiz

Are Your Spending Habits a Little Too Thrilling?

Online carts, Amazon Prime Day, flash sales, retail therapy—sound familiar? While shopping can feel fun or even soothing, it can also turn into a compulsion. This shopping addiction quiz is designed to help you reflect on your relationship with spending and whether it might be time to take a closer look.

Whether you're curious, concerned, or just doing a little self-check, this quiz is a private and judgment-free way to start the conversation.

The ADHD-Spending Link: Why Impulse Buys Are So Tempting

If you have ADHD, you’re not imagining it—shopping can feel extra tempting. That’s because ADHD is often linked with impulsivity, dopamine-seeking behaviors, and trouble with delayed gratification. Scoring a great deal or hitting “checkout” can provide a quick hit of stimulation your brain is craving. This quiz can help you explore whether your shopping habits are just part of your personality—or possibly a signal that something deeper (like ADHD-related impulsivity) might be at play.

Do Men and Women Struggle with Shopping Addiction Differently?

We usually hear about shopping addiction in the context of women and retail therapy—but guys aren’t off the hook. While women might gravitate toward clothes, skincare, or home stuff, men are more likely to splurge on gadgets, gear, or niche hobbies. And the why behind the spending? That can vary too.
