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.

72. My daughter has an ADHD diagnosis,

35 - no ADHD

My son just sets a timer (so he doesn’t do too much) work and cracks on. It’s thrilling to behold.

14 for me no ADHD. But I knew this, I just have a short fuse 😂

21

@Faevern

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

Haha - as someone with ADHD who drives her husband mad, bless your patience. And as someone whose husband ALSO has ADHD & ASD - I feel your pain 🤣

(And if you're wondering how this works - extremely chaotically haha)

105 - waiting for a diagnosis…

I got 15

52 and I've wondered about ADHD because I do jerk between doing lots of things at the same time and I love a daydream. However I'm very much I will get done what I've said I would eventually. I think actually it's more likely to be dyslexia as I just can't write coherently.

99. I've just started treatment for ADHD.

I got 37 and have never thought I might have ADHD

@Hamsteronrollerblades

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

I was 7 weeks premature! Is there a link?

My mum has ADHD, but also pure-O OCD. I have ADHD and have been diagnosed with anxiety & depression in the past, but in the few years I've been on ADHD meds both have mostly disappeared (so I'm not sure if they were a symptom of the difficulties I was having pre-diagnosis rather than distinct diagnoses!).

71 - I have a DD with ADHD and strongly suspect I have it myself as we have a lot of similar traits.

72defo wondered before tho

42

Never suspected I had ADHD

I scored 19. And that was giving most answers the benefit of the doubt and scoring one higher than I probs should have done.

49. Have never thought i fit with the description of ADHD so didnt expect a high score. Ive sometimes wondered if i might have Aspergers, but not ADHD.

105, never been diagnosed however there's been a strong inkling I have it for the last 12 months.

91. I'm currently being assessed for ADD and strongly believe I have it.

83, I suspect I may have it as my son is waiting for assessment and we are very similar. I’m pretty stressed at the moment too.

41. I have ADHD.

I felt that done if the questions didn't "get" how ADHD actually affects people.

66 and I do sometimes wonder if I'm ADD and also autistic. Some of my answers would have got higher scores a few years ago - I have calmed down a little recently.

74. Thought I would score similar, I'm currently debating whether or not to pursue a diagnosis.

I know a lot of people who have been diagnosed posting on TikTok, insta, etc etc but I feel like no one is saying if being diagnosed helps anything

I scored 20. I don’t have ADHD but my partner and children do. I think the people who read this question are far more likely to answer if ADHD is something they have been wondering about, so you’re going to get skewed answers.
