Questions people ask
Is this a screening test for ADHD?
No. It summarizes your answers across six everyday skills; a qualified professional evaluates ADHD using your history and other information.
What are the six skills?
Working memory, planning, starting tasks, managing time, noticing what you are doing, and switching between things. Eighteen statements, three per skill, answered on a frequency scale from almost never to almost always. Splitting one vague phrase into six observable skills lets you see, for instance, that starting is the problem while planning is fine.
The result looks like me. What should I do next?
Write down three recent, specific examples for the skill you marked highest and take them to a GP or to a clinician who assesses adults. Sleep, stress, thyroid problems, low mood and a genuinely overloaded few months all produce these answers, and only an evaluation can weigh them. Another online test will not settle it.
