Questions people ask
What is the ASRS v1.1 screener?
Six questions taken from the 18-question Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, version 1.1, published as the World Health Organization adult ADHD self-report scale by Kessler, Adler and colleagues in 2005. Its copyright belongs to New York University and the President and Fellows of Harvard College, and its licence allows free use, including commercial use, with attribution and without changes.
How is it scored, and what does my count mean?
The page counts answers in the authors’ marked ranges: Sometimes, Often or Very Often for the first three questions, and Often or Very Often for the last three. At 4 or more, the authors recommend a fuller assessment; a lower count does not rule out ADHD. If difficulties affect daily life, discuss them with a clinician.
How is this different from the Adult ADHD Test on this site?
The Adult ADHD Test is a 24-statement self-check that describes four patterns and has no threshold. This page is the published six-question screener with its authors’ point of 4. They answer different questions, and taking both is reasonable.
Is anything stored or sent?
No. The count is worked out in this browser tab. Your answers are not sent anywhere or written to storage, and there is no advertising on this page.
