Adult ADHD Test — ASRS-v1.1 Self-Screener
A free adult ADHD test built on the World Health Organization's ASRS-v1.1. Start with the validated 6-question Part A screener for an instant result, then optionally complete the full 18-item checklist. It is a self-screener, not a diagnosis.
How the ADHD test works
Rate how often each statement applied to you over the past 6 months, from Never to Very Often.
The tool uses the official ASRS shaded-cell scoring — not a simple point total — and tells you whether your answers are consistent with adult ADHD.
Part B adds the remaining 12 questions as a symptom profile to bring to a professional. There is no Part B cutoff.
A WHO-based self-check for adult attention and hyperactivity symptoms
