Do you often worry that other people are having more rewarding experiences without you? This free test uses the 10-item Fear of Missing Out scale (FoMOs; Przybylski et al., 2013) to look at how strongly you feel the pull of what others are doing. It takes about two minutes and gives you a 1–5 average score, a comparison with a research sample, a read of each statement and practical next steps.
