The ADHD Test

100 statements, five dimensions of attention, one clear picture of how your mind actually works.

  • Your score on all five dimensions: focus, restlessness, impulse control, emotional intensity, and follow-through
  • Where each score sits against everyone else who has taken the test
  • Your attention archetype — the pattern your five scores make together
  • What each result tends to mean day to day, in plain language
  • A written report you can keep, revisit, or take to a professional

What this test is based on

Our items are written by us, on the constructs these published instruments measure:

  • Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1)

    Kessler et al., 2005 · World Health Organization, with Harvard Medical School

    The inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity constructs. Freely available for use.

  • DSM-5 criteria for ADHD

    American Psychiatric Association, 2013 · American Psychiatric Association

    The two symptom domains the scale is organised around.

  • Research on emotional dysregulation and executive function in ADHD

    Barkley, 2010-2015 · Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine

    Why this test scores emotional intensity and follow-through as their own dimensions.

  • International Personality Item Pool (IPIP)

    Goldberg, 1999 · Oregon Research Institute

    The public-domain item-writing conventions our statements follow.

These are the sources our items draw on. The institutions named are not affiliated with SymptomScore and do not endorse it.

This is a self-insight questionnaire, not a medical diagnosis. SymptomScore cannot diagnose ADHD or any other condition — only a qualified clinician can. Use your results as a starting point for reflection, or for a conversation with a professional.
