Free adult ADHD quiz.
Six questions, about two minutes. This is the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1), the same short screener clinicians use as a starting point. It will not diagnose you, but it can tell you whether ADHD is worth taking seriously.

About this screener
What the ASRS actually checks.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale asks how often six everyday things happen: losing steam before a project is finished, struggling to get organized, forgetting appointments, putting off tasks that take real thought, fidgeting, and feeling driven by a motor. These six items are the strongest signal for ADHD in the longer clinical scale, which is why they work as a quick screen.
Answer honestly, based on how things have been for you over the past six months. There are no right answers, and nothing here is graded. When you are done, you will get a plain-language result and a clear next step.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) is a screener developed by the World Health Organization and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD. It is reproduced here for educational screening use only.

Questions
About the ADHD quiz.
01 Is this an official ADHD diagnosis?
No. This is a screener, not a diagnosis. The ASRS is a validated first step that flags whether ADHD is worth looking into, but only a comprehensive evaluation with a clinician can actually answer the question.
02 How accurate is the ASRS?
The six Part A questions are the strongest predictors of ADHD in the full 18-item scale, which is why they are used as a standalone screener. They are good at flagging who should be evaluated further. They are not designed to confirm or rule out ADHD on their own, and they can miss people whose symptoms look different.
03 What score suggests I might have ADHD?
Four or more of the six answers falling in the darker, more frequent range is considered a positive screen. At that point, most clinicians would recommend a full evaluation. Fewer than four does not rule ADHD out, especially if the symptoms genuinely affect your life.
04 Is this quiz for adults or children?
This is the adult version of the ADHD screener, written and validated for adults. ADHD looks different across a lifespan, and childhood assessment uses different tools and usually includes information from parents and teachers.
05 What happens after a positive screen?
A comprehensive ADHD evaluation goes far beyond six questions. It looks at your history, rules out other explanations like anxiety or sleep, and gives you a clear answer plus practical recommendations. You can start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if it is the right next step.
