ADHD Self-Test (ASRS)
By Dr Torrance Merkle, GP · · ADHD
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) screener and symptom checklist - an interactive tool for reflection, not diagnosis.
Key takeaway: The ASRS v1.1 is a validated screening tool that can help you reflect on your attention patterns and prepare for a clinical conversation.
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) is an 18-question screening tool developed in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD.
It is divided into two parts: - Part A (Questions 1–6): The core predictive screener. Scoring four or more significant symptoms here is strongly suggestive of ADHD and warrants further clinical evaluation. - Part B (Questions 7–18): A symptom checklist that provides additional context on frequency and severity across diverse life areas.
> Important: This tool is for educational and screening purposes only and does not constitute a medical diagnosis. A formal ADHD assessment involves a comprehensive clinical interview covering childhood history, developmental milestones, medical history, and differential diagnoses.
