About the ASRS v1.1
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with Dr. Ronald Kessler of Harvard Medical School. It is a validated 18-item screening instrument designed to help adults identify whether they may have symptoms consistent with ADHD. The first 6 questions (Part A) are the most predictive and are used as the primary screener. Parts A and B together provide a more complete symptom profile.
How Scoring Works
Each question is scored 0-4 based on symptom frequency. Part A (questions 1-6) is the primary screener — a score of 14 or higher on Part A suggests symptoms consistent with ADHD. The full 18-question score provides a more detailed picture. Higher scores indicate more symptoms, but severity and impairment must be assessed by a professional.
Who Should Take This Test?
This screening is designed for adults aged 18 and older who suspect they may have ADHD symptoms. It is especially relevant if you experience persistent difficulty with focus, organization, time management, impulsivity, or restlessness that impacts your daily life, work, or relationships.
Tips for Taking This Assessment
Answer each question honestly based on your real behavior and preferences, not what you think the ideal answer should be. Go with your first instinct rather than overthinking — spontaneous answers tend to be more accurate. Take the assessment in a quiet environment where you can focus without distractions. Remember that there are no right or wrong answers. Your results are meant to provide self-awareness and starting points for improvement, not definitive labels.
