On-line Add/Adhd test

[Gadfly]

Could anyone suggest an on-line test for me?

If you are looking for a way to self diagnose, alot of times those tests are very general and not reliable.

1 more thing, there are no tests of any kind for adhd

the best *test* is to learn as much as you can about the disorder and try to objectively evaluate yourself... most online tests are going to be a scam.

You could start here and then ask for feedback on specific questions on these forums.

for self-diagnosis: you could always look at the legitimate real criteria in the DSM-IV-TR (current version i guess, curious what changes they make in general for DSM-V) and try to as objectively as possible match up anything that is true about you, although you may want a close friend or family member for that part since it wont be biased (or it could be more so) since they can actually observe your behavior

for real diagnosis: talk to your doctor/psychiatrist/therapist/whatever professional you see. if you dont see a professional anyway, maybe you should start. get their opinion on the matter. even if they dont think you have AD/HD, ask them to schedule a Neuro-Psych test anyway jsut to see. that they will do since it never hurts. i got mine as a littlun so i dont know if it costs money, but it definitely costs 2-4 hours of your time (it varies in how long it is)

This is the self report scale used most often by professionals. Chances are you will see it again when you are formally diagnosed.

Thank you all, especially Ana and Conman for the helpful posts.

Yeah, ana's link was very good, but its not a "test" for adhd.
