Free ADHD self-test for adults
The World Health Organization's adult ADHD screener, six questions, scored on your device in two minutes.
What this is: the six-question Part A of the WHO Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1), the screener used in clinics worldwide. What it is not: a diagnosis. Four or more answers in the shaded range is the point at which the screener's authors suggest an assessment is worth considering. Nothing is sent anywhere.
How to read your result
Screen negative (0 to 1)
Your answers do not match the pattern the screener looks for. ADHD is not ruled out, especially if you have built systems that compensate. If life is still hard, therapy or the symptoms guide may help more than a repeat test.
Some features (2 to 3)
Some answers match. This is the range where reading the adult symptoms guide and thinking about impact at work, study and home is more useful than the number itself.
Screen positive (4 to 6)
The level at which an assessment is worth considering. An assessment is where a diagnosis is made or ruled out. It is a separate decision from treatment, and treatment is a separate decision again.
What happens if you go on to an assessment
Intake
A structured history you can pause and return to, plus a short questionnaire for someone who knows you well. About 25 minutes.
Workup
A GP referral, ECG, bloods and observations, done your way: your own GP, a partner clinic, or our doctor by video.
Assessment
Two to three video sessions with an ADHD-trained GP who has read your story before you meet.
Your plan
A written report and GP letter either way. If ADHD is diagnosed, a plan that may or may not include medication.
ADHD assessment with Inner Help opens state by state in 2026: GP-led with psychiatrist oversight, workup at a clinic near you, price and process published in full before it opens. Join the waitlist. You do not need a diagnosis to start therapy now.

Pricing and the full process will be published before it opens in your state. Leave your details and we will email you first. You do not need a diagnosis to start therapy now.
Is this the same test a doctor would use?
It is the same screener many doctors use as a first step. A diagnosis needs a full assessment: your history from childhood, current impact, other explanations for the symptoms, and information from someone who knows you.
I scored high. Do I have ADHD?
Not necessarily. Anxiety, poor sleep, depression, thyroid problems and plain overload can all produce similar answers. That is exactly what an assessment is for.
I scored low but I am sure something is going on.
Screeners miss people, especially adults who have spent years compensating, and women, whose ADHD often looks different. Read the ADHD in women guide and the inattentive ADHD guide, or talk to a therapist.
Where do my answers go?
Nowhere. The test is scored in your browser. If you choose to save the result, it is stored on your own device only.
