ADHD Test Methodology

TestForADHD.com is a modern screening tool for preliminary assessment of ADHD symptoms. The test was developed based on current DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and the Likert scale, which allows for precise assessment of symptom severity. Additionally, we use an advanced artificial intelligence model that helps analyze responses even more effectively and identify potential patterns associated with ADHD. It should be emphasized that the test is indicative in nature and does not replace professional clinical diagnosis.

Test Structure

The test consists of carefully selected questions that assess key areas related to ADHD:

1. Attention and Focus - questions about difficulties with concentration and maintaining attention
2. Impulsivity - examination of behavior control and decision-making process
3. Hyperactivity - assessment of physical activity level and motor restlessness
4. Time Management and Organization - evaluation of planning and task organization skills
5. Memory and Recall - testing ability to memorize and retrieve information
6. Emotional Regulation - assessment of ability to control and express emotions
7. Task Initiation and Completion - examining ability to start and finish tasks
8. Cognitive Flexibility - testing ability to adapt to changes and new situations

Each question has been formulated in an accessible way and relates to everyday situations that people with ADHD may face.

Rating Scale

The test uses a 7-point Likert scale where the respondent indicates their level of agreement with each statement:

• Strongly disagree
• Disagree
• Somewhat disagree
• Neither agree nor disagree
• Somewhat agree
• Agree
• Strongly agree

This 7-point scale allows for very precise assessment of symptom severity, giving respondents the ability to express their experiences in a more nuanced way.

Results Interpretation

Test results are presented in the form of a detailed report that includes:

• Overall score
