Screening guides

  • A free ADHD test, with nothing hidden behind the result

    Yes, you can take a free ADHD screening test here. Part 1 is the official six-question ASRS v1.1 Adult ADHD Self-Report Screener, and its outcome is always shown free, with no email, account or payment. An optional $7.95 educational report exists, but it never changes or withholds your screening result. A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis.

  • A quick ADHD test that stays honest about being quick

    The quickest credible option is a short, published screener. Part 1 here is the six-question ASRS v1.1 Screener, and your outcome appears the moment you finish, free. Short does not mean careless: researchers chose those six items from a longer 18-question scale. Still, a fast screen only flags whether a fuller look may help; it cannot diagnose anything.

  • ADHD self-assessment: what rating yourself can and cannot show

    An ADHD self-assessment is you describing your own experience in a structured way. Here it has two parts: the official six-question ASRS v1.1 Screener, which gives a free screening outcome, and the ADHDFalcon Attention Profile, an original reflection on six everyday areas. Self-report is valuable but partial, since it cannot include how others see you or rule out other causes.

  • An ADHD test for college students who are 18 or older

    If you are 18 or older, you can take the free ASRS v1.1 adult screener here; the outcome is shown immediately with no account. College life can blur the picture, because finals, late nights and stress affect anyone's focus. Answer about the past six months as a whole, and treat a positive screen as a reason to talk with student health services or another clinician.

  • An ADHD test for women, and why recognition has often come late

    There is no separate ADHD screener for women. The official six-question ASRS v1.1 Screener used here is the same for every adult, with the same questions and the same scoring rule. What differs is history: NHS and NICE guidance say ADHD is recognized less often in women and girls. The free screener and a written account of your past can help you open a conversation with a clinician.

  • An ADHD test written for adults, not adapted from a child form

    The screener on ADHDFalcon is the ASRS v1.1 Adult ADHD Self-Report Screener, a six-question tool designed specifically for people 18 and older. It asks how often certain experiences happened over the past six months. Four or more answers in the shaded boxes is a positive screen, a signal that a full evaluation could help. It cannot diagnose ADHD by itself.

  • An attention and focus self-check for when you are not sure it is ADHD

    If your concentration feels off but you are not sure ADHD is the question, you can still use our two-part check. Part 1 is the official six-question ASRS v1.1 Screener, with a free outcome. Part 2 is the ADHDFalcon Attention Profile, a non-clinical look at Focus, Organization, Time, Getting started, Restlessness and Pacing. Neither part explains the cause of your focus problems.

  • An online ADHD test with no sign-up and no email gate

    You can take the screener on ADHDFalcon without creating an account, giving an email address or paying. The official ASRS v1.1 outcome appears as soon as you answer the six questions. Your answers are stored encrypted for a limited time so the result page works, and you can delete them yourself. An email is only involved if you choose the optional paid report.

  • Looking for an ADHD quiz? Here is what separates a quiz from a screener

    Many online ADHD quizzes are written by the site itself, with no published research and no defined scoring. ADHDFalcon instead starts with the official six-question ASRS v1.1 Screener, free, then offers the Attention Profile, a quiz-style reflection we wrote and label as non-clinical. Neither part diagnoses ADHD, and any quiz claiming to do so deserves skepticism.

  • Taking an ADHD test before you see a doctor

    Taking a screener before an appointment is a sensible way to organize your thoughts. The free ASRS v1.1 Screener gives you a positive or negative outcome you can mention to a doctor, along with your answers. It will not replace their evaluation, which usually covers your history, daily impact and other explanations, and may involve hearing from someone who knows you well.

  • The ADHD symptom checklist and the six-question screener

    The best-known adult ADHD symptom checklist is the 18-item ASRS v1.1 Symptom Checklist, written around an earlier edition of the DSM and licensed separately, with clinical permissions granted through its own channel. ADHDFalcon does not offer it. We offer the six-question ASRS v1.1 Screener, which is Part A of that checklist, free, with an immediate screening outcome. Neither one diagnoses ADHD.

  • The ASRS test online, kept identical to the published form

    You can take the ASRS v1.1 six-question Screener online here, in an electronic version that keeps the published wording, answer options and shaded boxes unchanged. Your shaded answers are counted automatically, and four or more is a positive screen. The outcome is free. It is the v1.1 screener, not the 18-item checklist or the newer DSM-5 edition, and it is not a diagnosis.

Free attention games: these are not ADHD tests

  • Focus test

    Practice staying with one simple rule: tap each falcon except the hooded one. This two-minute game records hits, missed falcons, false taps, and your average response time on hits.

    2 minutes
  • Reaction time test

    See how long you take to respond to a visual cue. Wait for the sky to turn copper, then tap. Five completed rounds give your average and fastest response in milliseconds.

    1 minute
  • Working memory test

    Try holding a short sequence of digits in mind. Repeat the digits in their original order, then try them backward. Your result is the longest sequence you repeated correctly in each direction.

    3 to 5 minutes
  • Time estimation test

    Try stopping an invisible timer at 10, 30, and 60 seconds. Your result shows the time you actually waited and how many seconds early or late you stopped on each attempt.

    2 minutes
  • Stroop test

    Choose the ink color of a word while ignoring what the word says. This game compares your response times and errors when the word matches its ink color and when it does not.

    1 to 2 minutes
  • Task switching test

    Sort a symbol by color or shape as the rule changes. This game compares your response time on trials that switch rules with trials that repeat the previous rule. It also counts errors.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an ADHD test?

The games and planning tools are not ADHD tests. They cannot diagnose ADHD or change an ASRS screening outcome. Only the separately labeled adult screener provides an official screening result, which is still not a diagnosis.

Where does my information go?

Games keep personal bests only in local storage on this browser. Task checklist text stays in this tab. Blank PDF downloads contain no personal data. Tool analytics send event names only, never your numbers or task text.

What do game numbers mean?

They describe this attempt on this device. Timing includes your device and input method. Interruptions, practice, and the way you play can change the numbers. There are no population comparisons or clinical interpretations.
