Background
This test helps a gamer see how his/her gaming fits in with other life priorities. Use this test with children, teens, and adults to help them form a more realistic picture of their attachment to gaming.

A true-life priority needs three ingredients: thought, feeling, and behavior. Only one or two ingredients does not make a priority.

For example, I may think that I value education, but then never study. Education is only a priority if I feel motivated and then act on it. Conversely, behavior alone does not necessarily mean something is a priority. For example, I may show up at a place of worship regularly so the behavior indicates that I value my religion. However, the real reason I show up is because I think it will make me look good in the eyes of my boss who attends the service regularly.

Helping a person form an honest picture of his/her life priorities involves assessing which activities are those where thinking, feeling, and behavior come together.
