Adult ADHD Screening Test

Step 1 of 43

Adult ADHD Screening Test

This screening (≈10 to 60 minutes) helps you explore ADHD symptoms in adults.

It’s not a diagnostic test, but it’s based on the World Health Organization (WHO) ASRS v1.1, a recognised clinical tool.

This is a free screening tool.
Your pre-screening results and summary report are provided at no cost.

Your information is stored securely on protected servers. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties. Only you control your results and whether you choose to download, share, or forward your report to your GP or healthcare provider.

Service guidance disclaimer:
This tool is designed to provide guidance on ADHD pathways and services in the UK. Information may not fully reflect healthcare systems or referral processes in other countries.

Your answers are saved securely as you go.
You’ll receive a PDF summary of your results, including your ASRS score and recommendations for your GP.

Please answer based on how you’ve felt and behaved over the past 6 months.
There are no right or wrong answers; take your time. ⏳

Helpful tips before you start:

Some questions are free-text. You can use your phone or laptop microphone to dictate instead of typing.
