A free ADHD test, with nothing hidden behind the result
Short answer
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.
Plenty of sites advertise a free ADHD test and then ask for a card number at the last step. This page lays out, plainly, what you get for nothing on ADHDFalcon and what costs money, so you can decide before you answer a single question.

Why the official result is never locked
Since the questions themselves are free to use, charging you to see how you scored on them would feel wrong to us. The questionnaire belongs to its authors, Dr. Lenard Adler of NYU and Dr. Ronald Kessler of Harvard, and the required notice reads: © New York University and the President and Fellows of Harvard College.
What Part 2 is, and why its full scores sit in the report
After the six official questions, the screener continues with the ADHDFalcon Attention Profile. We wrote it ourselves. It is a set of 24 statements about everyday life, grouped into six areas: Focus, Organization, Time, Getting started, Restlessness and Pacing. Each area gets a descriptive score from 0 to 100, and the areas combine into an overall Everyday Attention Load.
Those numbers describe your own answers and nothing more. There are no norms behind them, so they do not compare you with other people, and they do not measure ADHD. The detailed area scores are one of the things the paid report contains.
Questions worth asking of any free ADHD test
- Who wrote the questions? A published screener names its authors and the people who hold its rights.
- Does the site claim its quiz can tell you whether you have the condition? A screener cannot do that.
- Is the result shown before any payment, or only after?
- Does the page explain what happens to your answers and how to delete them?
- Does it quote odds or percentages about you? Treat any such figure with real suspicion.
What a free screener can and cannot do for you
A positive screen means four or more of your answers landed in the shaded boxes. It suggests that a fuller evaluation with a qualified clinician may be worth arranging. A result under that line does not rule anything out, especially if daily life still feels hard.
So the free outcome is genuinely useful as a prompt and as something concrete to mention at an appointment. It is not a verdict, and no amount of money spent on a report would turn it into one.
For example, someone might take the screener on a lunch break, see a positive screen, and decide to book a visit with their primary care provider. Someone else might land below the threshold and still choose to raise their concerns. Both are reasonable uses of a free result.
Things the report will never claim to be
Paying for the optional report does not buy a more official answer. It contains no diagnosis, no hidden second score for ADHD and no clinician's opinion, because no clinician writes or reviews it. ADHDFalcon is an independent educational website run by Sourdough AI LLC, not a healthcare provider. If a site ever offers you a paid upgrade that promises to confirm ADHD, that promise is the clearest sign to look elsewhere.

See your official outcome at no costFrequently asked questions
Is the ADHD test on ADHDFalcon really free?
Yes. The six official ASRS v1.1 questions and your screening outcome cost nothing and need no email, account or card. Only the optional educational report has a price.
What does the $7.95 report include?
It is educational: an answer recap, your full Attention Profile area scores, reflection worksheets, an appointment-preparation guide and general organization strategies. It does not contain a diagnosis or a different screening outcome.
Can a free online test diagnose ADHD?
No. Health agencies such as the CDC and MedlinePlus say there is no single test for ADHD. Diagnosis comes from an evaluation by a qualified clinician.
Do I have to buy anything to see my result?
No. The official outcome appears on the result page whether or not you ever look at the report.
