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.

Oh wow, 99. I've suspected for a while I've got it already though.

105, diagnosed combined type. I know this is an old thread but it's still interesting!

  1. I'm absolutely sure I don't have ADHD so was surprised to score so highly. I agree with OP that it would be hard to score under 50 on this.
Booklover3 · 16/01/2022 03:13

I got 52

cherrybonbons · 16/01/2022 04:01

56- I do have an anxiety disorder though. I think that skewed the results

Hahaha! I scored 65 but was diagnosed with severe ADHD 15 years ago and have been on Ritalin ever since. I'm not at all physically hyperactive though. I used to be categorized as ADD before the umbrella "ADHD" was adopted for all.

I got halfway through and had to click on a notification from Twitter...

MehMahMoo · 16/01/2022 07:22

105 no diagnoses other than GAD

Definitely inattentive rather than hyperactive if it's true but I may be married to a hyperactive type

careerswitcher · 16/01/2022 07:23

I got 41.

I do sometimes wonder if I might have ADHD when I'm at work as I have struggled with motivation and concentration. To be honest though I think a more likely reason is that I just don't like my job Grin

51 I don’t need to move all the time, maybe I should do that I lose some weight!

Indoctro · 16/01/2022 07:43

I got 38 and I have had a ADHD diagnosis through the NHS

Would you do this ADHD diagnostic quiz and share your answer?
Riddo · 16/01/2022 07:43

I got 20 but have asked DH to do the quiz. I'm convinced he has ADHD but he seems reluctant to consider it.

HarleyQuinnFan · 16/01/2022 07:44

I got 20. I do not have ADHD.

SweetPotatoDumpling · 16/01/2022 07:44

19 for me...I can't imagine getting a score of 70 or over OP. I have taught children with an ADHD diagnosis though and can see that these questions fit their profile.

I got 80. I don't have ADHD.

AshGirl · 16/01/2022 07:56

96! Think I most likely have both ADHD and Autism. Should really talk to the GP but very hard to organise / get started...
