HYPERFOCUSED ADHD SCREENER

HYPERFOCUSED

Get to know yourself better!

This is a reflective tool to help you in your thinking about how ADHD traits may affect you or somebody else. Take the learning from this to help you understand yourself and talk to others. Part 1 is based heavily on the Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and part 2 takes common areas of life to gauge how severely they are impacted by ADHD traits.

Part 1 of 2

Part 1 — ADHD-related traits

Important: These are original HYPERFOCUSED questions for self-reflection. They are not the ASRS and this is not a diagnostic test.
