What is the ADHD test like:
The ADHD test typically involves a combination of self-report questionnaires, interviews, and sometimes cognitive or behavioral assessments.
Since ADHD is a clinical diagnosis, there’s no single definitive test, but the process usually includes:
Clinical Interview — A psychologist, psychiatrist, or doctor asks about symptoms, medical history, childhood behavior, and daily functioning.
Questionnaires & Rating Scales — Tools like the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) or Conners Rating Scales help assess attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
Observations & Reports — Teachers, parents, or partners may provide input on behaviors in different settings.
Neuropsychological Tests — Some assessments measure attention, working memory, and executive function, but these are not always necessary.
For adults, the process focuses on persistent symptoms from childhood into adulthood that affect work, relationships, or daily tasks.
