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.

Remember: A screening result cannot confirm or rule out ADHD. If difficulties are persistent or significantly affecting your life, consider discussing them with a qualified healthcare professional.
Whether you end up getting an ADHD diagnosis or not, knowing what parts of your life are most affected is a great way to start to change your life and look at how you could start to feel better about yourself and understand your processes.
