Adult ADHD Self-Assessment
This scientifically validated screening tool is based on the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and DSM-5 criteria. It helps identify symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in adults.
Note: This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. Only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose ADHD. If you score in the moderate or high range, consider consulting a doctor or mental health professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the ADHD trait profile assessment
What is this ADHD test?
It is an in-depth self-assessment of your ADHD traits across five cognitive dimensions: attention and focus, executive functioning, hyperactivity and impulsivity, emotional regulation, and cognitive coping. You answer 50 short statements about your everyday experiences to build a personalised trait profile.
Is this test a medical diagnosis?
No. This is a self-assessment for self-understanding, not a diagnostic instrument. Only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose ADHD. If your traits affect your daily life, use your results as a starting point for a conversation with a professional.
How long does it take?
Most people finish in about 5 to 10 minutes. There are 50 short statements plus a few quick questions about you, and you simply choose how much each one describes you.
How do I see my results?
Your full trait profile is part of FocusBox. To view it you start a FocusBox subscription, which also unlocks the focus tools to act on what you learn. You begin with a free trial and can cancel anytime.
What do the five dimensions mean?
Your responses are scored across five dimensions: Attention & Focus, Executive Functioning, Hyperactivity & Impulsivity, Emotional Regulation, and Cognitive Coping. Each dimension is shown as Low, Moderate, or High so you can see where your patterns are strongest.
Should I see a doctor about my results?
If your profile shows Moderate or High traits, or if you are struggling day to day, it is worth discussing with a healthcare professional. The profile can help you describe your experiences, but it does not replace a professional evaluation.
Can I retake the assessment?
Yes. For the most useful profile, answer honestly based on your typical experiences over the past six months rather than just the last few days, and leave some time between attempts.
Is this assessment science-based?
It is built on established frameworks for understanding ADHD traits across attention, executive function, impulsivity, emotion, and coping. It is designed for self-understanding rather than clinical diagnosis.
How many questions are there?
There are 50 statements covering the five trait dimensions, plus a few short questions about you. It is more in-depth than a quick screener so your profile reflects the fuller picture.
Do I need a FocusBox account?
You can take the assessment without an account. To view your full trait profile you create a FocusBox account and start a subscription, which also gives you the focus tools built for ADHD minds.
How accurate is this online assessment?
It reflects the patterns in your own answers, so honest, thoughtful responses give the most useful profile. It is a self-assessment to help you understand yourself, not a clinical measure, and professional evaluation remains the gold standard.
What happens after I finish?
You unlock your ADHD trait profile — an overall result plus a breakdown across the five dimensions — and the FocusBox toolkit of time-boxing, focus timers, and planning built for ADHD minds to put what you learn into practice.
