Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about time blindness and this quiz
What is time blindness?
Time blindness is the difficulty perceiving, estimating, and managing time accurately. It is a common experience for people with ADHD, where the internal sense of time passing is unreliable. This can lead to chronic lateness, missed deadlines, and difficulty planning.
Is time blindness an official medical condition?
Time blindness is not a standalone diagnosis but is a well-documented symptom of ADHD. Research shows that people with ADHD often have impaired time perception and estimation abilities compared to neurotypical individuals.
How long does this quiz take?
The Quick Quiz takes about 1-2 minutes with 6 questions. The Full Assessment takes 3-5 minutes with 12 questions covering all three time blindness categories. Both provide immediate results.
Is my data private?
Yes, this quiz is completely anonymous. Your responses are used only to calculate your results and are not stored with any identifying information.
What do the three categories measure?
Time Perception measures how well you sense time passing. Time Estimation measures how accurately you predict task duration. Urgency/Deadline Awareness measures how well you respond to upcoming deadlines and plan ahead.
Can time blindness be treated?
While time blindness cannot be cured, it can be significantly managed with external tools (timers, alarms, calendars), strategies (time-boxing, buffer time), and in some cases, ADHD medication which can improve time perception.
Do only people with ADHD experience time blindness?
While time blindness is most strongly associated with ADHD, it can also occur with autism, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. Some degree of time distortion is normal for everyone, but persistent, significant time blindness often indicates a neurodevelopmental difference.
How is this quiz scored?
Each question is scored 0-4 (Never to Very Often). Scores are calculated for three categories and summed for a total score out of 48. Results are categorized as Mild (0-19), Moderate (20-32), or Significant (33-48) time blindness.
Should I see a doctor about my results?
If you scored in the Moderate or Significant range and time management difficulties are affecting your work, relationships, or well-being, consider discussing your results with a healthcare professional who can evaluate for ADHD or other conditions.
Can I retake the quiz?
Yes, you can retake the quiz anytime. For the most accurate results, answer based on your typical experiences over the past several months, not just recent days.
What strategies help with time blindness?
Effective strategies include using visual timers, setting multiple alarms, building buffer time into schedules, practicing time estimation, using the Pomodoro technique, and leveraging tools like FocusBox that externalize time management.
How does FocusBox help with time blindness?
