ADHD Assessment for Adults
The Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener is 6 multiple choice questions (think 2 to 4 minutes), which highlights common signs and symptoms of adult ADHD. Here’s how it works:
Read each question carefully and choose the answer that best reflects your experience.
Once you’ve answered everything, do not close the page.
Your answers will be reviewed instantly and you will be told whether it is likely you have ADHD or not. Keep in mind, this is not an official diagnosis.
What you do with that info? Totally up to you. Consider this a starting point, not a diagnosis. You get to decide whether you want to explore things further with a medical professional, or if you would rather do some self-work with our digital download tools or even start Adult ADHD Coaching.
If you want to have a 1:1 discussion with Dana about your results and to go a little deeper to determine your struggles with ADHD, we have a special zoom call offer ($67 CDN / $49 US) that you can purchase in the shop.
Who Is This ADHD Test For?
This test is designed for adults 18 and over who haven’t been officially diagnosed with ADHD but are curious whether it might be playing a role in their lives. It doesn’t matter your gender, background, or where you live; if you want more clarity about possible ADHD symptoms, this tool is for you.
Adult ADHD is more common than you think... about 4.4% of adults in both Canada and the U.S. meet the criteria. The problem? Most never realize ADHD is at the root of their challenges, so they end up battling the fallout without knowing what’s actually going on.
How Accurate Is It?
Let’s be real: this test is a starting point, not a diagnosis. Think of it as a checklist of common ADHD symptoms, not a crystal ball. You won’t get a full evaluation from an online quiz or a 10-minute doctor’s visit.
Why? Because other conditions can look a lot like ADHD. That’s why only a qualified professional can rule things out, dig deep into your medical and psychiatric history, and give you an actual diagnosis. If the test results hit home, the next step is connecting with someone trained to do a thorough assessment.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist was developed in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD that included the following team of psychiatrists and researchers: • Lenard Adler, MD Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neurology New York University Medical School • Ronald C. Kessler, PhD Professor, Department of Health Care Policy Harvard Medical School • Thomas Spencer, MD Associate Professor of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School. Content of the questionnaire also reflects the importance that DSM-IV places on symptoms, impairments, and history for a correct diagnosis.
