Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test screens for ADHD symptoms in adults. It describes several aspects: attention drifting away from anything long or dull, inner restlessness, what comes out before it has been thought through, and how daily life gets organized. The report brings these elements together and shows where they are concentrated.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
Adult ADHD Test: Symptom Screening (Inattention, Impulsivity) — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test screens for ADHD symptoms in adults: inattention, inner restlessness, impulsivity and how daily life gets organized. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 17 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test covers attention, listening, memory, misplaced objects, the body, stillness, inner tension, rest, speech, decisions, purchases, sudden breaks, time, procrastination, organization, paperwork, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Attention Whether, working through the same spreadsheet or list, you lose track partway through. Listening Whether, when someone close to you is speaking, your attention drifts off before they finish. Memory Whether a reminder, a payment or an errand slips through the cracks without your even noticing. Misplaced objects Whether you go looking for your keys, your phone or a document right as you're about to leave. The body Whether you tap your fingers on the table or spin a pen around without even noticing. Stillness Whether, during a meal, a journey or a film, staying still for a long time takes its toll on you. Inner tension Whether, even sitting still in your chair, something inside keeps churning, like a pressure that never eases off. Rest Whether an afternoon off with nothing planned makes you uneasy, almost on edge. Speech Whether you jump in with an answer before the person in front of you has finished their question. Decisions Whether you make up your mind on the spot, without taking time to think it through. Purchases Whether you reply or buy something online before you've thought about the consequences. Sudden breaks Whether you walk away from an activity or a group on a sudden impulse. Time Whether you set a deadline for a task that ends up taking you far longer than planned. Procrastination Whether, faced with something you know matters, you put off the first step until the last moment. Organization Whether, looking at your task list, you struggle to decide what should come first. Paperwork Whether your budget and your paperwork fall behind without your noticing it right away. Readiness to change Whether what you've just described weighs on your daily life. Whether you want to change the way you function day to day.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●How you see these difficulties- The way you explain these difficulties with attention and impulsivity, before the test tells you anything about it. This section measures no difficulty and produces no level: it records your initial view, and none of the four answers offered is more correct than the others. Your answer is revisited and discussed in the section of the report devoted to you.
- ●Inattention- How available your attention is in moments that don't demand much of it. It is there, rather than in demanding situations, that the report looks for the most telling variations.
- ●Hyperactivity- The need to move in adults, where it often shows less through the body than through an inner pace. The report takes this change with age into account.
- ●Impulsivity- The gap you have between an urge and the action that follows it. This dimension assesses your ability to hold off, not the content of the decisions you make.
- ●Executive Functioning- The steering functions that carry an action from intention to completion. The report groups them because they compensate for one another: one can carry the others for a while.
- ●Readiness to Change- Set apart from the others, this dimension serves as a reading guide: depending on how ready you are right now, the same results call for different suggestions, more exploratory or more concrete.

Can I retake the test later?

Yes, you can retake this test as many times as you wish. Some people take it again after several months to observe how their profile evolves. Each new attempt generates its own report — previous answers are not reused.
What should I do with my results?
▼
The report organises your answers and offers points for reflection. You can discuss it with a professional; it does not replace their assessment or prescribe treatment.
Can people close to me also take it?
