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.

  1. It’s interesting to read ‘definitely not diagnosed/definitely not adhd’. I mean, how can you know if you’ve never been tested?!

73 for me. Having read up on inattentive ADHD I definitely relate to large parts of it, although I do also have anxiety and suffered with depression for years growing up so that may have something to do with it as well.

I've also noticed that I've actually got worse as an adult than when I was a kid, but this might be because there's less structure and support around me now to get me to places and keep me engaged/motivated.

I scored 75 I am diagnosed as having HFA . However, I think the questions are almost identical to what you would ask in an Autism quiz.
I also think there needs to be some difference between an Autism Test and a ADHD test because all Autistic People don't have ADHD.

  1. That might explain why my friend thinks I have ADHD.
Bhappy12 · 27/09/2021 21:29

I got 40. I've never really considered that I might have ADHD. Don't know if that really helps you, but hope so.

ProfSprout · 27/09/2021 21:30
