I was trying to find an ADHD quiz online, so that I could take it. I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of score I would get. I was able to find a couple. I went on to Psychcentral.com and took their test. I scored an 85. I was diagnosed as having adult ADHD. I was advised to seek further diagnosis from a trained medical professional immediately. You guys should try it out and see what you get.
I also went onto http://counsellingresource.com/quizzes/adhd/ and got a score of 78 on their test. It was very similar to the one on psychcentral though, so you only need to take one of them.
http://addtestonline.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/test.html This is another test. I got a 60 out of 90 on this one.
Anyways, as you can see there are a lot of different sites to choose from, I've just listed a few. I just put in a fake name and email address, and went through the questions. On all of them I was instructed to go to the doctor for more testing, as I had a high probability of having adult ADHD. Most of the questions were pretty similar to the ones on the other sites, and some were almost word for word. This is a good tool for people to use on themselves, if they are trying to figure out what's wrong with them. Teachers can use these, if they are having questions about a certain student, or the person can take it themselves. I've read some of the blogs where this was their first start on trying to figure out what was wrong with them. Parents can use these as well, I've read that some of them have on their blogs. Just for curiosity out there, I will not be referring myself to a doctor.

I took the quiz on http://counsellingresource.com/quizzes/adhd and received a 19 on my ADHD screening test. A score of 70 or below indicates further testing for ADHD may be necessary.
ReplyDeleteEven though this is just a screening test, it seems that an individual taking this assessment about themselves could give biased answers to skew results in order to fit the mold the test taker feels he/she fits.
I agree that teachers may use these screening tests in order to determine if one of his/her students may have ADHD, and use these results to confirm their assumptions and gain more information before speaking with parents about the child's behaviors.
