The 6 dopamine brain types - from short-form addiction to a detox that fits

Dopamine isn't a substance to quit so much as a signal that says go and find the next one. Which makes direction more useful than volume: give six people the same two hours and one swipes through clips, one refreshes replies, one installs another app. Here are the six directions, and the fix each of them needs. Not sure which one you are? Take Dopamine Brain Type Test (12 questions) and find out first.

🎬 Short-Form Hunter - the three-second judge Fun has a shelf life of about three seconds here, and the swipe comes the moment it expires. 🔔 Ping Chaser - the one who runs on replies The stimulation comes from people rather than screens — a type finely tuned to connection. 🎧 The Multitasker - one input is never quite enough A single stream leaves a gap, so there are always two or three things running at once. 🧲 Novelty Hunter - the first ten minutes are the best part The largest response arrives at the moment of opening something never opened before. 🌿 Balanced Dopamine - the one who brakes without being asked Enjoys stimulation, knows where it stops, and can sit with being bored. 🚨 Detox Overdue - your baseline for fun climbed too high The things that used to be enjoyable aren't any more — the baseline has risen above them.
