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.

75. No diagnosis

95

DS has ADHD & ASD.
I was a ‘difficult child that never slept’ according to DM. I have recently started wondering, as I am having difficulties at work, if I may also have ADHD.

Am interested in how many high scorers have other issues. Am dyspraxic too. Many of us quite premature?

Nothing that I know of, actually very good coordination.

*I went straight from the OP to do the test….. kind of typical of ADHD.

I always do this, 😄

7 - and like you @tobypercy I thought "but surely everyone does that" which just shows how different we all are

(As well as ADHD) I also have bipolar, sleep apnoea, joint dysfunction in both my knees and PCOS. I wasn't premature though, born a couple days before my due date

21. No ADHD traits, although my son has it.

Same here (I scored 14)

112 diagnosed with combined type and ptsd.

39 Never imagined I had the AD part, but have been told I seem to have the HD part.

I scored 74, not diagnosed for ADHD. Diagnosed depression. Undiagnosed dyspraxia, but I'd be astonished if I didn't have it.

99, diagnosed today

72 for me but I think it stems from anxiety which stemmed IVF and then finally having a beautiful baby but getting PND.
Hope things work out for you.

71
Pretty sure I have it. My son has a diagnosis.

91. Referred to psych this year by GP for ADHD and now awaiting assessment ..lonnnng waiting list..🙄

2 for me. The other options sound unbearable and I don't know how people with severe ADHD get thru life without serious medication

53 - not surprised it's not indicated for me.

I'm weird, but it's other causes!

31
and I was quite hard on myself

4 for me

Less than 5 for me more than 90 for my DP. He has ADHD and other issues. I don’t, other than living with him for more than 30 years

76. Not overly surprising as my DB has it and I recognise a lot of similar traits. Haven't chased a diagnosis as it doesn't affect my life, or if it does I don't notice as I don't know any different hah.
