Hey hunter, makers & creators. So good to see you here on a Sunday, I appreciate you. I’m Pete, one of the makers of ADHD Quiz. My journey of self discovery lead to a late ADHD and Autism diagnosis at age 36. I’ve since made it my personal mission to help as many people as possible to figure out how their brains work, and how to become truly themselves. ADHD quiz is a big first step towards understanding whether you have ADHD symptoms or not. I wish I had access to an easy tool like that when I was looking for answers myself. Thank you for your questions, upvotes, feedback, and for just being here with me today.

Hey there. Full disclosure: I've been diagonosed with ADHD repeatedly (when I'm overseas it's a bit hard to get medicated when doctors don't speak the same language). And the effects of the medication I take versus what happens when I'm unable to obtain the medication - a very common problem in the US thanks to rampant DEA agents acting like doctors under the color or law and limiting production while never, literally (I've checked) never taking responsibility for what is their sole responsibility - further confirms that. Also, from that sentence you can likely tell my condition, but the veering back onto the subject,,, Some of the questions I have a bit of a problem with at least in the context in which we live in. For example, bill-paying and object-losing are readily ameliorated by automation, which used to be a huge problem for me but since now it's scheduled and I can simply use an app to find my stuff, it's really no longer a problem. This underplays the issue for those of us who can afford to do so since what is a necessity for me is still a convenience for my friends who do not have obvious ADHD symptoms. Automatic bill pay is convenient for everyone of a socio-economic class, as is say, being able to use @Tile. So are those questions really meaningful without further context? Also, some of the questions clearly address at least in part cultural differences. ADHD does not make one unacculturated, and how I behave in specific actions is only partially driven by my conditions becuse we've not only all learned to cope to a certain degree but sometimes merely the language we are using creates interpretations of our actions that do not exist or exist in different degrees in others. I'm not fluent in that many languages (spoken/written or programming), but how one is expected to participate in social situations differ even between different dialects of Chinese, or even sub-dialects. There's no universal definition or prohibition on "butting in", for example, it's contextual. I do not for example "butt in" in conversations in Wu Chinese because even the words are heavily generationally inflected, in particular my first language being one where how one is to relate to each grandparent is built into the word we have, colloquially, for them this difference doesn't exist in writing... or even mutually intelligible neighboring dialects like the one spoken in Shanghai, as the word for 'father' is the one virtually universally used for 'grandfather' in all neighboring dialects as ell as in Mandarin, and relationships are defined via adjectives added upon it. So with the shift, it's unthinkable to interject into a conversation with an elder who is given essentially an additional level of respect, and indeed I don't. This doesn't exist in English where only my parents are not referred to by their first names and the casualness allows for such normalization and acceptance. This matters because to this day a great deal of people - particularly in the part of China where I'm from, do not speak Mandarin as their first or even second language. I grew up in the States with someone I call by their first name in English but in Chinese depending on the dialect it would be cousin or uncle who is only 2 years older than I am and the way we interact differs dramatically depending on the language. English is his 4th language, having learning Wu Chinese, Cantonese (as his father moved the family for work), Mandarin (for school), and finally English. He interjects in all but Wu, and really, as would I except I don't speak Cantonese. Pedantry, yes, but the Wu dialects have 80 million native speakers in the most affluent part of China. Cultural considerations are not really optional in determining these things. I know that this is not meant to be a diagnostic tool, but ADHD has affected my life in dramatic ways that failed to be properly addressed in part due to language and in part due to stigma, although by far the greatest impediment on me receiving proper treatment in sweeping government action that makes it impossible for me to obtain the optimal treatment for me in a consistent fashion, if at all. Perhaps merely adding something that specifies the socioliinguistic context would be helpful. Some of us may speak English every day but never at home, and to this day I can't count or tell left or right in English. I blame the fact that having multi-syllabic words is too complicated (joking, of course!) but I don't go to therapy basically because I have yet to find a therapist whose cultural competence allows them to be on the same page as me consistently, or even at all, and the result is I'm paying out of pocket to have some stranger listen to me and completely miss the point or fail to grasp things that should be inferred. It's also why I leave long explanatory and hopefully comprehensive critiques so that the point is not lost. Otherwise, awareness is very important and I'm glad that you are trying to solicit viewpoints that may not be easily shared. I find myself spending lot of effort bridging the cultural gap in onliine tech communities and it's not the most fun thing to do, but for a lot of open source/blockchain projects it's vital. Before this I did the same as a lawyer, although with much less success because of the power structure. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk and I hope that it's the last one I give.

Just took the quiz and I scored a 52, which I think is reasonable. My only issue with it is that there are some questions that could have multiple answers based on a scenario, which could skew the score. For example, I am 16 and don't have a credit card, meaning I don't pay bills. For the question that says "Do you pay bills on time?" I answered always, because that is technically true. My recommendation would be to add a "skip question" option for people in this scenario.

Great job, guys! Helping people uncover issues that might be in their blind spot is really important and valuable 🔥 I’d also love to learn more about the scientific basis of the test. Is this some special test that is clinically verified and commonly used for diagnosis?

@georgestrunin thank so much for the support, and your question, George. The quiz is based on common ADHD screening questionaires. It is not a diagnosis but it is still effective and simple for ADHD screening. Its been built using vanilla Javascript and a little bit of Tailwind. Feel free to look at the source to see how it is implemented.

The same 20 questions every time? What if someone told me the best answers and then re-take the quiz? Will be accurate this way?

This is an absolute banger of an idea! I've recently been a bit restless, and my mind diverts. Curious to find out, I went through this quiz. Now I know I don't have ADHD but there are times when I do get distracted. ADHD Quiz just proved me right and I'm satisfied with my results. One good addition could be adding some basic tips or tricks to battle it
