About the ADHD Traits Self-Check quiz
This is an informal self-check inspired by the kinds of questions used in adult ADHD screening. It cannot diagnose anything — only a qualified professional can do that. Answer based on how things have generally been for you over the last 6 months.
This quiz is made up of 12 short questions and takes roughly two minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers — the point is honest self-reflection. Everything is calculated instantly in your browser: we don’t ask for an email address, we don’t create an account for you, and none of your answers are sent to a server or stored anywhere.
What this quiz looks at
Your responses are used to gauge ADHD-associated traits. Each question asks how strongly a statement applies to you, and the pattern across your answers points to the result that fits you best. Because it’s a short, general-audience quiz, treat it as a starting point for reflection rather than a definitive verdict.
The possible results explained
Here’s what each outcome of this quiz means, so you know what to expect — and so the results are useful even before you take it:
🌾 Few ADHD-type traits
Your answers suggest relatively few of the attention/hyperactivity traits commonly associated with ADHD. Everyone gets distracted or restless sometimes — that's normal. Your responses don't point strongly toward the persistent patterns seen in ADHD. If something specific still worries you, it's always fine to raise it with a professional.
🌀 Some ADHD-type traits
You recognise a fair number of these traits in yourself. That's common, and doesn't necessarily mean ADHD. Lots of people experience these patterns some of the time, especially when stressed, tired, or under-stimulated. If these traits are getting in the way of work, study, or relationships, a chat with a GP or clinician could be worthwhile — they can look at the full picture.
⚡ Many ADHD-type traits
You identify with many of these traits quite strongly. This is worth taking seriously — as a prompt to learn more, not as a diagnosis. A high score here simply means the pattern resonates with you. It does NOT confirm ADHD — many things (anxiety, sleep, stress, other conditions) can look similar. If these traits meaningfully affect your daily life, consider speaking to a doctor or a clinician who assesses ADHD; a proper evaluation is the only way to know.
Frequently asked questions
Can this quiz diagnose ADHD?
No. Nothing online can diagnose ADHD. Diagnosis requires a qualified clinician who reviews your history, rules out other causes, and often gathers information from more than one source. This is a self-reflection tool only.
What is this based on?
The questions are inspired by the themes used in adult ADHD screening questionnaires (inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity). The wording here is our own and is simplified for a general audience.
I scored high — what should I do?
A high score just means these traits resonate with you. If they affect your work, study, or relationships, consider talking to a GP or a clinician who assesses ADHD. Many conditions share these symptoms, so a professional view matters.
