ADHD Test: Understand Your Attention and Focus Patterns

What is the ADHD Test?

The ADHD Test is a comprehensive screening tool that helps identify patterns of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that may indicate Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This assessment evaluates how you focus, manage tasks, and interact with your environment in daily life.

How It Works

The test presents statements about attention, focus, organization, and behavior patterns. You’ll respond based on how often these experiences occur in your daily life. The assessment takes about 15–20 minutes and provides immediate insights into your attention patterns.

What You’ll Discover

Your results will reveal your attention and focus patterns, including:

• How well you sustain attention on tasks and activities
• Your level of hyperactivity and restlessness
• Impulsivity patterns in decision-making and behavior
• Organization and time-management abilities
• Areas where you might benefit from additional support

The Three ADHD Presentations

Inattentive Presentation

Difficulty sustaining attention, following through on tasks, and staying organized. Often appears forgetful or easily distracted.

Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation

High energy levels, difficulty sitting still, and tendency to act without thinking. Often talks excessively or interrupts others.
