What it measures

Make sense of everyday patterns.

The screening organizes observations related to attention, focus, time management, and everyday behavior. The original page highlights three areas below. Your responses describe experiences in context; they cannot establish their cause. The report can help you put observations into words for reflection or a conversation with a qualified professional.

01

Hyperactivity

Reflect on restlessness, the urge to move, and difficulty remaining still when a situation calls for calm or focus. Consider how these experiences appear in the ordinary settings described by your chosen version, rather than judging yourself against an ideal day.

02

Distraction

Consider how easily your attention shifts away from what you are doing, including losing focus during conversations, tasks, or activities, noticing unrelated thoughts, or being pulled toward surrounding distractions. This area helps organize observations about maintaining attention so you can describe when distractions occur and how they affect everyday activities.

03

Impulsivity

Reflect on acting quickly, interrupting, difficulty waiting, or responding before you have considered what to do. Read the prompts in the context of your own experience or the person you are observing; a response pattern does not by itself identify ADHD.

What’s in your report

From scattered observations to a clearer account.

Your report brings responses together, explaining patterns involving attention, distraction, impulsivity, and time management. It offers a structured way to review experiences that can be difficult to summarize. Results are generated immediately after completion.

01

An organized overview

Review the areas highlighted by your responses in one place.

02

Plain-language explanations

Connect the screening dimensions with everyday experiences.

03

A basis for conversation

Use the report to explain your observations to a qualified professional.

Read the explanations alongside everyday examples. The illustrative chart presents fictional response patterns; it does not show a diagnostic threshold, a probability of ADHD, or a treatment recommendation. Further evaluation is a separate professional process, informed by more than a screening result.

How it works

From your first question to your report.

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Allow 10–15 minutes

    Find a quiet place and answer about typical experiences. The original preparation guidance asks you to consider the past six months. There are no right or wrong answers.

  3. 03

    Review the report in context

    Your report is generated immediately after completion and remains available with lifetime report access. Use the explanations to organize observations and prepare questions, not to make a diagnosis.

An informed choice

What this is
and is not.

Developed with specialist oversight, this screening offers personal insight when completed at home. An unsupervised result is not an official clinical finding or diagnosis. A qualified specialist must supervise and interpret any formal evaluation; an ADHD diagnosis cannot be based on this screening alone.

This screening organizes reported attention and behavior patterns. It cannot confirm or rule out ADHD and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment.

Common questions.

What does this ADHD screening tell me?

The screening organizes your observations about attention, distraction, activity, and impulsivity. This is not a diagnostic assessment: it cannot confirm or rule out ADHD. It is intended to support awareness, reflection, and informed next steps, including a discussion with a qualified professional about the experiences you have described.

How long does it take to get my results?

Your report is generated immediately after completion. It outlines patterns related to attention, distraction, impulsivity, and time management, with explanations to support reflection. Read those patterns in context. The report does not provide a medical diagnosis, a probability of ADHD, or instructions for treatment.

Is this a proctored exam?

No. This is a self-administered screening for awareness and reflection, with self-report, parent, and teacher versions. Follow the instructions for the version you choose. It is not proctored and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment.

Can I take the screening more than once?

Yes, the site allows retakes. Recent experiences and familiarity with the questions may influence what you report, so consider the context of any differences. A repeat screening is not a way to establish a diagnosis or measure treatment effectiveness. Questions about evaluation belong in a professional conversation.

What do I need to prepare?

Choose a quiet space and allow 10–15 minutes. Answer honestly about typical experiences, following the selected version’s instructions; the original page refers to the past six months. If you are completing a parent or teacher version, respond from that perspective instead of guessing the person’s internal experience.
