About This Test

This free online ADHD test is for adults who want a quick check of attention, organization and impulse control. In under three minutes, you’ll answer a short set of questions about how you’ve been functioning most days over the last month. Your score highlights likely severity and the signs of ADHD that may affect work, study, relationships and daily life.

Use your result as a practical starting point. If your score is higher, consider evidence-based mental health support, such as structured self-help and talking therapies. If it’s lower, small changes, clear routines, task breaking, reminders, can still help. Because ADHD in adults can present as inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined, your guidance explains which pattern your answers most resemble. This tool cannot diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; only a qualified professional can. It gives you a clear picture of your ADHD symptoms so you can decide whether to seek an ADHD assessment, start self-care, or retake the ADHD quiz to track progress over time.

How the test works

You rate how often key signs of ADHD occur (inattention, disorganisation, restlessness, impulsivity). Scores map to severity bands and suggest next steps: self-help strategies, therapy options, and when to seek a full ADHD assessment. You can retake the ADHD checklist to track progress.

Scientific basis

Items mirror validated adult ADHD screeners (e.g., ASRS v1.1), which reliably identify likely ADHD and track symptom change over time. The ASRS screener uses six high-predictive questions derived from DSM-based criteria. For diagnosis, adults typically need persistent symptoms that impair functioning.
