ASRS-v1.1: the 6 questions

Check the box that best describes how you have felt and conducted yourself over the past 6 months. Please give the completed questionnaire to your healthcare professional during your next appointment to discuss the results.

The light and dark boxes follow the original questionnaire. Choose the answer that fits you; the dark shading is used when scoring.

1. How often do you have trouble wrapping up the final details of a project, once the challenging parts have been done?
2. How often do you have difficulty getting things in order when you have to do a task that requires organization?
3. How often do you have problems remembering appointments or obligations?
4. When you have a task that requires a lot of thought, how often do you avoid or delay getting started?
5. How often do you fidget or squirm with your hands or feet when you have to sit down for a long time?
6. How often do you feel overly active and compelled to do things, like you were driven by a motor?

The 6-question Adult Self-Report Scale-Version1.1 (ASRS-V1.1) Screener is a subset of the 18-question Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale-Version1.1 (Adult ASRSV1.1) Symptom Checklist. © New York University and the President and Fellows of Harvard College.

What this adult ADHD test can tell you

The six questions form the ASRS-v1.1 screener, developed with a World Health Organization work group. They look at selected experiences related to attention and activity. They do not cover every feature of ADHD, determine the cause of your difficulties or assess how much support you need. These are the official English questions, not a new quiz presented as a validated scale.

An assessment considers more than a questionnaire: your history, experiences across settings, impact on daily life and other possible explanations. You do not need a particular online score to ask for help. Keep a concrete example of what happens and what it costs you, even if your screening result is below the threshold.

ADHD or autism and ADHD together?

This page answers the ADHD screening question. If your question also involves autistic experiences, the article about autism and ADHD explains the overlap. The separate AuDHD tool can help organise examples, but cannot establish either diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions

Is this ADHD test free and anonymous?

Yes. Answer all six questions and see the result without an account, email address or payment. Answers and notes stay in this page's memory and disappear when you reload or leave the page. We do not send them to a server.

Can the ASRS diagnose ADHD?

No. It is a screening questionnaire for adults aged 18 or older. A positive screen is a reason to discuss further assessment, not a diagnosis. A negative screen cannot rule out ADHD.

How is my ASRS result calculated?

This version uses the original shaded-box method: Sometimes or more on questions 1–3, and Often or more on questions 4–6, each count once. Four or more of the six reaches the screening threshold. It is not a percentage chance of ADHD.

Why do some ASRS tests show a score out of 24?

A separate published method adds the five response values from 0 to 4, giving a total out of 24. Harvard's 2024 scoring update discusses that method, particularly for research. This page uses the original 0–6 shaded-box method printed on the patient questionnaire; do not compare its number directly with a 0–24 total.

Is this the same as the AuDHD test?

No. This is the six-question ASRS-v1.1 ADHD screener. Our separate AuDHD reflection tool explores autistic patterns, ADHD-related experiences and their interaction; it does not share the ASRS scoring or validation.
