What this ADHD test covers

This free ADHD screening test is designed for adults who suspect they may have undiagnosed ADHD. It covers the three core domains of adult ADHD — inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity — across two sections that adapt based on your answers.

🎯
Attention & Focus

Explores how well you sustain attention, organise tasks, and manage time — the most common ADHD challenges in adults.

Hyperactivity & Impulsivity

Assesses restlessness, impulsive decisions, and the feeling of being constantly "switched on" — even in adults without obvious hyperactivity.

📊
Detailed results

You receive a scored profile comparing your responses to research-based thresholds, with personalised next steps and GP guidance.

ADHD in adults — what to look for

ADHD in adults often looks very different from the stereotype of a hyperactive child. Many adults with ADHD — particularly women — present primarily with inattentive symptoms that are easy to miss:

If several of these feel familiar — and have done since childhood — this free ADHD test is a good starting point.

After the test — what happens next

If your results indicate ADHD traits above the threshold, the next step is speaking to your GP. Our results page gives you a printable summary you can bring to your appointment, along with specific guidance on how to request a referral.

In England, if your NHS waiting time exceeds 18 weeks, you may be eligible for the Right to Choose scheme — allowing you to access a different ADHD assessment provider at no cost. Read our full guide to getting an ADHD diagnosis in the UK.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — completely free. No sign-up, no email, no payment. Your answers are processed entirely in your browser and nothing is stored anywhere.

The initial section takes around 10 minutes. If ADHD traits are indicated, a follow-up section adds another 5 minutes. Total: 10–15 minutes.

No. This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. Only a qualified clinician — psychiatrist or specialist psychologist — can formally diagnose ADHD following a full clinical assessment. This test tells you whether a formal assessment is worth pursuing.

Yes. ADHD presents differently in women — often with more inattentive symptoms and fewer overtly hyperactive ones. This test is designed for all adults and does not require you to fit the stereotypical hyperactive presentation. Read more about ADHD symptoms in women.

This test also screens for autism and AuDHD (co-occurring ADHD and autism). If you start the ADHD test and autism traits are also indicated, the quiz will route you through an autism screening section automatically.

Bring your printed results from this test to the appointment. If your GP still refuses, ask for the reasons in writing, request to see a different GP, or consider a private ADHD assessment. See our full guide to getting an ADHD diagnosis in the UK.
