An Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessment is a standardised tool used to evaluate individuals for symptoms associated with ADHD. This assessment helps healthcare professionals, such as psychologists or psychiatrists, to systematically gather information about an individual’s behaviour, attention span, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The questions in the assessment are designed to explore various aspects of daily functioning, academic or occupational performance, and social interactions. The goal is to identify patterns of behaviour consistent with ADHD and to determine the severity of symptoms. It’s important to note that an ADHD test is a valuable step toward understanding an individual’s unique strengths and challenges, and it often serves as a foundation for developing personalised interventions and support strategies. While this table provides a simple representation of questions with “Yes” and “No” options, a comprehensive ADHD assessment typically involves a more in-depth evaluation conducted by qualified healthcare professionals.
