How often do common ADHD traits show up for you?

28 statements about focus, restlessness, acting on impulse and staying organized in everyday life. Your answers give a score in four trait areas. It is not a diagnosis.

28 statements, no time limit

Before you start

Take the test somewhere quiet where you won't be interrupted.

  • Tap one of five answers for each statement. There are no right or wrong answers.
  • Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Your first reaction is usually best.
  • You can go back to check or change an answer. The last question asks your age group.
  • There's no time limit, so take the time you need.

This is not a diagnosis or a medical test. It shows how often you notice some common traits in yourself, for self-reflection only. If these traits worry you or get in the way of your life, talk to a doctor or another qualified professional.

What you get a score for

  • Focus drift. How often your attention wanders from what you meant to be doing.
  • Restlessness. How often you feel fidgety, on the go or uneasy sitting still.
  • Acting on impulse. How often you speak, decide or buy before thinking it through.
  • Time and organization. How often plans, deadlines, belongings and to-do lists slip away from you.
