Free Adult ADHD Test (ASRS v1.1)

The ASRS v1.1 is the World Health Organization’s six-question screener for adult ADHD. It takes about a minute and tells you whether a full assessment is worth pursuing.

These screenings are for awareness only and are not a diagnosis. If you are in crisis or thinking of harming yourself, please call your local emergency number or a mental-health helpline immediately, or visit the nearest hospital.

About this test

Adult ADHD is frequently missed, particularly in people who did well at school or who were never disruptive. The six questions here are the Part A screener — the subset that best predicts whether a full ADHD assessment will find something.

The questions are about everyday friction: finishing the last details of a project, getting things in order, remembering appointments, avoiding tasks that need thought, fidgeting, and feeling driven by a motor.

Four or more marks in the shaded range is a positive screen. That does not mean you have ADHD; it means the pattern is consistent enough that a proper evaluation is justified. Diagnosis in adults requires evidence that difficulties began in childhood and affect more than one area of life.

Frequently asked questions

Can ADHD really start in adulthood?
ADHD does not begin in adulthood, but it is often first recognised then. The diagnostic criteria require that symptoms were present in childhood, even if nobody named them at the time.
I did well academically. Can I still have ADHD?
Yes. Many people compensate successfully for years, especially with strong support or high ability, and only struggle when demands rise — a new job, a child, a deadline-heavy role.
Is medication the only treatment?
No. Medication is effective for many adults, but structured behavioural strategies, coaching and treating co-occurring anxiety or depression all matter.
What does a full ADHD assessment involve?
A clinical interview covering your history from childhood onward, often with questionnaires and, where possible, information from someone who knew you as a child.

Next steps

A screening result is a starting point, not a verdict. If your result concerns you — or if it looks fine but you still do not feel right — a conversation with a clinician costs you nothing and takes twenty minutes. ADHD treatment at SSHIMOH.
