The IDRlabs Adult ADHD Test is the property of IDRlabs International. It was inspired by the original research and screening tool was produced by the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization.

The ADHD Test is a widely-used instrument for measuring this psychological construct. Free online tests such as this are only initial considerations of the psychological concept being examined and cannot provide entirely accurate assessments of your personality or components of your psychological state. This test is to be used exclusively for screening purposes—a mental health diagnosis can only be made by a psychiatrist or other mental health professional.

As the publishers of this free online ADHD test, which allows you to screen yourself for the signs and symptoms of ADHD that otherwise often remain unrecognized, we have strived to make the test as reliable, valid, and complete as possible. Like other online psychological tests such as our DSM Test, Psychopathy Test, Dark Triad Test, and Dark Core Test, as well as other professional tools, our free online test is subjected to statistical controls and validation in order to make the results reliable and accurate.

The authors of this free online test are certified in the use of numerous psychological tests and have worked professionally with psychometrics, typology, and personality testing. Before completing our free ADHD screening test, please keep in mind that while some of the results provided may be compatible with the results of other tests and training materials, this test should not be confused with official trademarked tests. The results of our free online ADHD test are provided "as-is” and should not be interpreted as the equivalent of professional assessment or recommendations. For additional information, please consult our Terms of Service.
