Free ADHD Test(5 Minute Self Assessment)
Evidence-based screening for adults (18+). Takes about 5 minutes.
Who is this ADHD test for?
Adults 18 and older who have not been formally diagnosed with ADHD and want a clear, evidence based starting point. ADHD is common and often goes unrecognized. Many adults live with symptoms for years without knowing why day to day tasks feel harder than they should.
How accurate are online ADHD tests?
Peer reviewed studies on World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scales report sensitivity around 85% to 95% and specificity around 70% to 92%, depending on the group and cutoff used. That means the screener catches most people who likely have ADHD and has a good rate of ruling it out in others.
How long does an ADHD test take?
The assessment has 18 questions and typically takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete. The format is ADHD friendly with one question on each screen to maintain focus. You will get your results immediately.
How much does an ADHD test cost?
Professional ADHD evaluations range from $300 to over $2,000 depending on the provider and insurance coverage. Our initial screening is completely free so you can take a first step without cost.
What is DSM-5?
DSM-5 is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. It defines the official symptom criteria doctors use to evaluate ADHD. We mark each question with (DSM-5*) to show it maps to those criteria.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. This is a self screen aligned with DSM-5 symptoms. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD after a full clinical assessment that reviews your medical history, other conditions, and day to day impact.
Who created the reference scales?
The reference screening scales were created with the World Health Organization and academic partners and are widely used in research and clinics. See sources below.
