Freudly really helped me discover parts of my personality I hadn’t noticed before. It strengthened the areas where I needed to grow and made me feel more grounded and confident in the parts that already worked well.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Adult ADHD Diagnostic Scale, ASRS-5 Test

Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-5) Test

This brief self-report screener is used to identify the likelihood of clinically significant adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity symptoms. The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-5) is intended to support initial case finding and to guide whether a more comprehensive clinical evaluation may be warranted.

It consists of 6 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate the frequency of common inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms over a defined timeframe; results should be interpreted in context of developmental history, functional impairment, and differential diagnosis. The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-5) is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and is best used as part of a broader assessment process. Authors: psytests.org (2024).
