Survey:
- Do you feel preoccupied with electricity?
- Do you feel the need to use electricity with increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction?
- Have you repeatedly made unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back or stop elecricity use?
- Do you feel restless, moody, depressed, or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop electricity use?
- Do you use electricity longer than intended?
- Have you jeopardized or risked the loss of a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of electricity?
- Have you lied to family members, a therapist or others to conceal the extent of involvement with your use of electricity?
- Do you use electricity as a way of escaping from problems or of relieving a distressed mood (eg feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety and depression)?

Thus is another survey to sell tin foil hats by creating panic and anxiety....has been around since 10 years ago.
The branding style is the same one my counsellor use to brainwash me at that time. Might as well use an E-meter since anyone who use the net and spend copious amount of time on ebaumsworld and sifting through thousands of sites for info (wikipedia is non-existent at that time) would realise that the methods are no different to what culminated in the Red Scare.
