Inattention
Covers focus, memory, organization and finishing things. The pattern looks like starting tasks but not closing them out, forgetting appointments, and struggling with work that needs a system.
Hyperactivity-impulsivity
Covers physical restlessness and impulse control — trouble sitting still, fidgeting, difficulty waiting your turn, talking more than you meant to.

🚨
High-risk range
A clinical evaluation is recommended
Closely matches the adult ADHD symptom pattern
Your score is above the clinical cutoff validated by Heo et al. (2018) in a Korean clinical sample. Inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptoms are likely showing up often in daily life, work or relationships. Only a psychiatrist or qualified clinician can make an actual diagnosis.
At or above the 32-point clinical cutoff (Heo et al. 2018 — sensitivity 70.6% / specificity 80.4%)
⚠️
Borderline range
Worth keeping an eye on
Somewhat above the non-clinical average
Your score sits above the control-group average (24.99) but below the 32-point clinical cutoff. Some inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptoms may be showing up. Look at your daily patterns and retake this in one to three months.
Above the control average, below the clinical cutoff
✅
Typical range
Currently in a stable range
Within the control-group average range
Your score is at or below the control-group average of 24.99. Attention and self-regulation appear to be holding up reasonably well day to day. Bear in mind that self-report scores move with stress and life changes.

Positive screen
Consider the full 18-question version
Your symptoms are consistent with ADHD
Four or more of the six Part A questions fell at a clinically significant frequency. That is a positive screen under the original Kessler (2005) scoring, and the same cutoff held up in Heo et al.’s (2018) clinical validation. The full 18-question version will break your results into inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive scores.
4 or more shaded-box responses (cutoff confirmed by Heo et al. 2018)
✅
Negative screen
Currently in a stable range
You don’t currently meet the ADHD screening threshold
Fewer than four of the six Part A questions fell at a clinically significant frequency, so you don’t meet the screening threshold (Kessler 2005, validated by Heo 2018). This is a screening tool, not a diagnostic one — if daily life keeps being hard, talk to a clinician anyway.
Fewer than 4 shaded-box responses

Predominantly inattentive
Your inattention score is clearly higher than your hyperactivity-impulsivity score

Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
Your hyperactivity-impulsivity score is clearly higher than your inattention score

Combined presentation
Inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity are at similar levels
See a psychiatrist or qualified clinician
When a self-check lands above the clinical cutoff, a professional evaluation is the sensible next step. A real diagnosis combines an interview, developmental history and clinical rating scales.
Look for childhood evidence
An adult ADHD diagnosis leans partly on evidence of symptoms before age 12. Old report cards, school records or journals — gathered with family — are genuinely useful to bring to the appointment.
Write down the real-life impact
Keep a one- to two-week log of how symptoms actually affect work, school, relationships and money. Note how often and in what situations — it makes the evaluation far more accurate.
Keep the basics running alongside
Seven-plus hours of sleep, regular exercise, managed caffeine and getting tasks out of your head and into a calendar help with ADHD symptoms whether or not medication is part of the picture.
Retake this in 2-3 months
Your score is a little above the control average but below the clinical cutoff. Stress, sleep and life changes all move this number, so take the same test again in two or three months and compare.
Start with your weaker area
Look at the two-factor chart and start with whichever scored higher — inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity. Note the situations where it shows up most.
Get tasks out of your head
Move tasks out of your head and into a calendar, reminders and checklists. Making them visible is the best-supported way to cut both forgotten items and procrastination.
Consider talking to someone
If the same difficulties have run for six months or more, one appointment with a clinician is worth it — not to collect a diagnosis, just to know where you stand.
Keep the patterns that are working
Your score is in the control-group average range. Sleep, exercise and regular meals are the strongest protective factors against ADHD-like symptoms.
Check again during a hard stretch
Overload, short sleep and major life changes all temporarily worsen inattention. Retaking the same test then shows you how much of it is situational.
Small habits that protect focus
One thing at a time, 25 minutes on and 5 minutes off, and a cleaned-up notification list. Small habits are what hold attention together long term.
Notice it in people around you
If you notice these patterns in family or friends, point them to this test. Adult ADHD is diagnosable and manageable, and recognizing it early matters.
