A free, informational screener for inattention & hyperactivity traits.
This is a self-report screener, not a diagnosis.
Results reflect how you rated your own experiences and are for informational and self-reflection purposes only. They are not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or other qualified healthcare provider. If any of this resonates with you, consider talking to a professional — only a clinical evaluation can provide an actual diagnosis. If you're in crisis or need immediate support, contact a local emergency number or a crisis line such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US).
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that are more frequent and severe than what's typical for a person's age and get in the way of daily functioning.
This free self-assessment is a screener, not a diagnostic tool. It's built around the two symptom domains most commonly used to describe ADHD — inattention, and hyperactivity/impulsivity — and asks how often you recognize each pattern in yourself. It takes about 4–5 minutes.
Everyone experiences some distraction, restlessness, or impulsivity at times. What distinguishes ADHD, clinically, is that these patterns are persistent (showing up across many areas of life, not just one), longstanding (often traceable back to childhood), and significant enough to cause real difficulty at work, school, or in relationships.
You'll rate 20 statements from Disagree to Agree, split evenly between inattention (difficulty sustaining focus, organizing, following through) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (restlessness, interrupting, acting without thinking).
Your score for each domain is the average of your answers to that domain's 10 questions, rescaled to 0–100. A handful of items are worded in the opposite direction on purpose, to reduce the effect of simply agreeing with everything.
All scoring happens locally in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to sign in and save your result.
This screener cannot diagnose ADHD. A real diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation — typically including a detailed developmental history, input from people who've known you a long time, and often standardized testing — performed by a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other qualified clinician.
ADHD symptoms overlap with those of anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other conditions, which a self-report quiz can't tell apart. A high score here is a reason to look further, not a conclusion.
This tool is intended for adults reflecting on their own current patterns. It is not designed to assess children, and it is not a crisis resource.
No. No online quiz can diagnose ADHD. This is an informational screener — a real diagnosis requires an evaluation by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist, usually involving a detailed history and standardized clinical tools.
Clinically, ADHD presentations are described as predominantly inattentive (trouble with focus, organization, and follow-through), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (restlessness, interrupting, acting without thinking), or combined. This screener reports both domains separately so you can see which patterns are more prominent for you.
Consider talking to a doctor, therapist, or psychiatrist about what you noticed. Bring specific, concrete examples of how these patterns show up in your daily life — that's more useful to a clinician than the score itself.
ADHD is a developmental condition that begins in childhood, but it very often continues into adulthood, and many people aren't diagnosed until adulthood — especially those whose symptoms were masked or misread earlier in life.
No. You can take the test and see your results with no sign-in required. Creating an account is only needed if you'd like to save your result or retake the test later and compare.
