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.

2...I'm a daydreamer and occasionally answer questions before people finish asking them 🤦‍♀️

I scored 84. I have a diagnosis but unsure it's correct

PutYourBackIntoit · 27/09/2021 21:37

97, no surprises there. Dd has a dx and her clinician said after her assesment ' I think your mum would benefit from this too'.

I'm a successful person on paper 😆

29 for me. There’ve been times in my life where I probably would’ve scored much higher.

Some of the traits which I think they are associating with ADHD are ones I experience ATM but they are manifestations of how I am coping (or not!) with a difficult phase in my life.
Distraction, inability to focus, brain on overdrive : also signs of depression.

ADHDmaybe · 27/09/2021 21:41

I scored 92 - hoping to be assessed

haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday · 27/09/2021 21:42

71 for me. The older I get (52) the more I suspect I have undiagnosed spectrum tendencies but also I have definitely (unwittingly) developed coping mechanisms.
I'm honestly sure whether it's worth going down the diagnosis route and whether it would make any difference.

Ilikecheeseontoast · 27/09/2021 21:42

20 here

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 27/09/2021 21:42

I scored 73. I actually highly suspect that I have inattentive ADHD, so in my case it’s quite accurate if my suspicions are, in fact, quite correct.

moofolk · 27/09/2021 21:44

Over 100 but my counting system was so complicated I didn't do it too precisely as I'd already seen it was well over 70 which was the threshold.

It has been suggested before that I might have ADHD.
