Adult ADHD check (ASRS)
Please answer the questions below, rating yourself on each of the criteria shown. As you answer each question, choose the answer that best describes how you have felt and conducted yourself over the past 6 months.
This check uses Part A of the World Health Organization's Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) — the 6 questions found most predictive of ADHD symptoms in adults. It screens for patterns of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

Common questions
What is the ASRS?
The ASRS — the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) — is a short adult ADHD test developed with the World Health Organization. This 6-question screener asks how often you experience common ADHD symptoms. It is also searched as the ASRS ADHD test.
Is this check a diagnosis?
No. The ASRS is a screening tool — it flags whether your answers look like adult ADHD often does. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose ADHD, usually after a full evaluation.
What should I do if my screen is positive?
Share your result with a clinician — a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, psychologist, or your primary care doctor — and ask about a full ADHD evaluation.
Who can evaluate adult ADHD?
Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists, and some neurologists and primary care doctors evaluate adult ADHD. If medication might be part of your treatment plan, you'll want someone who can prescribe.
I was never diagnosed as a kid. Can adults have ADHD?
ADHD begins in childhood, but many adults — especially women — were never diagnosed as children. A clinician will ask about childhood symptoms as part of an evaluation.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) was developed by the World Health Organization. This check uses the 6-item Part A screener.
