Common questions about adult ADHD tests
Do I have ADHD?
That’s exactly what a professional ADHD assessment helps you answer! Our ADHD self-assessment tool and other free, online quizzes should only be used to help you reflect on your symptoms and determine if you should consider testing. Only a registered psychologist can provide an accurate diagnosis.
What type of ADHD do I have?
Our process reviews all symptom types and clarifies whether you meet the criteria for inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined type. We will also check whether your symptoms are actually linked to a different condition, which may or may not be related to ADHD.
What are the symptoms of ADHD in adults?
ADHD in adults can show up as distractibility, disorganization, forgetfulness, or difficulty with focus. Our assessment explores these symptoms alongside other possible factors.
