I've done this quiz which is meant to provide an estimate of whether you might have ADHD. It shouldn't be used for diagnosis, there are lot of caveats for it.

But I am thinking "but surely everyone does that" about a lot of the questions. I'd be really interested to get a range of answers from a range of people, if anyone is willing to share.

For what it's worth, I've done it twice on different days, scored 76 and 62. Their threshold for "possible ADHD" is 70+. I don't really believe anyone can score less than 50 and I'd be fascinated to know if I'm wrong.

39 for me

HumdrumGuga · 27/09/2021 20:38

64

Sometimes think I have ADD for various reasons. Not diagnosed.

Shesaysso · 27/09/2021 20:38

I’ve just done it and got 8.

Puppalicious · 27/09/2021 20:38

I got 64, but sometimes I suspect I have ADD. Would be interested how someone who definitely doesn’t scores.

fighting2020 · 27/09/2021 20:38

I scored 93. I'm in the process of trying to get assessed for adhd

VampireBarbie · 27/09/2021 20:39

68, I'm autistic so some overlap.

takingmytimeonmyride · 27/09/2021 20:39
  1. But I am diagnosed autistic and when I got my diagnosis I was told to consider ADHD (but they don't do diagnosis of adhd)
Northernsoullover · 27/09/2021 20:39

I got 96. I have an ADHD diagnosis though Grin

MadMadMadamMim · 27/09/2021 20:39

I have never considered the possibility that I have ADHD. I never thought about it and would consider myself entirely 'normal' with no particular issues, if that makes sense.

I scored 31.

So, yes, it's perfectly possible to score below 50. I don't know if that helps you at all.

KilljoysDutch · 27/09/2021 20:39

Total score of: 75
(70 or Above, High Probability of ADHD)

I don't have a diagnosis but I have come to realise I am more than likely somewhere on the spectrum. I score very highly on tests for Aspergers and have suffered MH issues my entire life.

SmallGreenStripes · 27/09/2021 20:41

62
I sometimes wonder if I have adhd

EvilEdna1 · 27/09/2021 20:41
  1. I am a lazy madam bit good at concentration.

Undiagnosed but suspected ADHD for a while.
It stops me from getting around to organising a diagnosis....

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/09/2021 20:41
  1. I have inattentive ADHD, and DD as ADHD Classic Grin

I suspect I'd score higher on a test of inattentive. I don't score high on the hyperactivity questions.

Northernsoullover · 27/09/2021 20:41

@Simonjt

I scored 45, I have ADHD.
Some of the answers would have been different a few years ago. I manage to control some things (e.g turn taking) also I am not hyperactive. Just inattentive.
TwoBlueFish · 27/09/2021 20:41

36 for me

Drinkyourweaklemondrink · 27/09/2021 20:41

My score was 117
I have a diagnosis of ADHD and I am on medication for it which does help but doesn't totally control it

Gingernaut · 27/09/2021 20:41

I have ADHD - Inattentive Type

emmathedilemma · 27/09/2021 20:41

I got 26.

PaperMonster · 27/09/2021 20:41

CaitCaityCaitlin · 27/09/2021 20:42

22 for me...

DontPeeInThePlayHouse · 27/09/2021 20:42

CountTessa · 27/09/2021 20:42

Nope only got 7.

But I do think there are a lot of young women who day dream and find it hard to focus who may have many behaviours in common with someone with Adhd

UselessCat · 27/09/2021 20:42

I do not have ADHD. I do have ASD though so think I lean more in the 'organised and too anxious to speak' direction.
