Do I Have ADHD?

Free Adult ADHD Screening Test

The ASRS-v1.1 is a 6-question screener developed by the World Health Organization to help identify ADHD in adults.

For someone with ADHD, time blindness means they genuinely can't estimate duration. Starting a task without knowing when it ends creates anxiety. This test takes about 2 minutes.

Important: This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. A higher score suggests professional assessment may be helpful. Only a qualified professional can diagnose ADHD.

What Is the ASRS-6 ADHD Screening?

The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale v1.1 (ASRS-6) is a six-question screening tool developed by the World Health Organization in collaboration with leading ADHD researchers. It is derived from the full 18-item ASRS and focuses on the six questions most predictive of ADHD in adults. Published research shows the ASRS-6 has 68.7% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity, making it one of the most efficient brief ADHD screeners available in primary care.

Signs You Might Benefit From This Screening

ADHD in adults often looks different from the hyperactive child stereotype. Common signs include difficulty finishing tasks, chronic procrastination, losing track of time, trouble following conversations, impulsive decisions, and restlessness that feels more internal than physical. Many adults are not diagnosed until their 30s or 40s, often after a child or partner receives a diagnosis. If you have always felt like you are working harder than others to stay organised, or that your potential does not match your output, this screening can help clarify whether a full assessment might be worthwhile.

How the ASRS-6 Works

The ASRS-6 asks how often you experience six specific ADHD-related behaviours. Each question uses a five-point scale from "never" to "very often". The questions cover inattention symptoms like difficulty concentrating and forgetfulness, as well as hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms like restlessness and impatience. Your responses are compared against clinically validated thresholds to determine whether your symptom pattern is consistent with ADHD.

What Happens After the Screening?

After completing the six questions, you will receive an instant score with a clear explanation of what it means. A score at or above the clinical threshold suggests ADHD symptoms that warrant further professional assessment. You can download or email your results to share with your GP or psychologist. Remember, no online quiz can diagnose ADHD — only a qualified clinician can make a formal diagnosis through comprehensive assessment including developmental history and symptom evaluation.
