Student Digital Wellbeing Assessment – Dr Kristy Goodwin

Skip to content

This quick quiz will help you identify your current levels of digital wellbeing and focus. It will pinpoint the digital habits that are helpful and serving you. It may also identify some digital behaviours that you may want to adjust.

You’ll be asked eight questions in four sections (the 4 Pillars of the D-rive Zone= digitally thriving). You’ll get a score for each pillar and an overall score. Please answer the questions using this scoring scale. Consider your answer based on how true the statement is for you most of the time. I understand that as humans we do tend to change our behaviours from time to time, so consider what your honest answer would be on a ‘typical’ day/night.

Please answer the questions honestly- rest assured this is an anonymous quiz and no one, apart from you, will see the results.
