Would you do this ADHD diagnostic quiz and share your answer?

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.

@Postdatedpandemic are you going to come back and justify your comment about posters scoring >15?

Is it disbelief? Jealously? Bitterness?

While it seems that the vast majority of replies on this thread show that a lot of posters have ADD/ADHD traits, it stands to reason that not everyone does, and they aren't boasting. It is just a fact.

74. I'm not diagnosed but have been wondering for a while if I have ADD.

79. I have wondered for a while if I'm somewhere on the spectrum but at the age of 40 I've just learned to deal with it and am not sure a diagnosis would do me any good!

I got 105. I've suspected ADHD for a while, though.

Very jealous of all you ultra-low scorers. It must be so peaceful.

I definitely don't have ADHD. Scored 35.

Dd who definitely does (formal diagnosis, medication) scored 95.
Seems reasonably accurate.

I got 21. and some gratefulness for how relatively peaceful things are for me!

I got 101. I suspect I have adhd but my psychiatrist refuses to test me for it as I can’t be medicated. I’m also autistic too.

I scored 87 and I have diagnosed ADHD combined type

I got 80.

I already have Autism Anxiety Dyslexia OCD and I'm being assessed for Dyspraxia.

God I don't want ADHD too!!

Wish I hadn't done it now as I'll be thinking about it.

.

I got 81 but have suspected for years I might have adhd

I scored 30.

My son has ADHD and I believe I have some of the positive aspects in terms of dynamism and brain agility.

I'm 55 now. I would have scored much, much higher in terms of talking over people, not waiting my turn, becoming upset and frustrated in my younger days.

90😮I've suspected that I have it for some time still a surprise to get such a high score.

34

85 and I’m diagnosed and medicated!

24 for me. I do struggle with attention, distraction and planning (a lot) but I'm definitely not an 'always on the go' person. More a champion procrastinator I think.

Hmmmm more of less what i expected.

26 I don’t think I have ADHD.

I got 28 😁 though think that's made artificialy higher due to stress in my life and kids 😅

88 and I have an ADHD diagnosis

@poppym12 Procrastination is a trait commonly associated with ADHDSome of the people with ADHD rushing around could well be catching up on all the stuff they put off!! But with your score, it doesn't look like you have it anyway.

23. I recognise my husband in a lot of that though and he is waiting for an ADHD assessment.

100. I'm awaiting ASD assessment.

I scored 8. I am incredibly grateful that my head is usually peaceful. I hope everyone awaiting a diagnosis or support gets what they need.

96% I'm fairly confident I have ADHD or ADD. In my school reports it said I had ADD but I've never been formally diagnosed.
