ADHD Screening Test (ASRS v1.1)
The official six-question ASRS v1.1 Part A screener, developed with the World Health Organization. The questions cover the past 6 months. It takes about 2 minutes to complete.
Instructions
This is the official ASRS v1.1 Part A screener, developed with the World Health Organization. Answer all six questions, choosing the option that best describes how you have felt and conducted yourself over the past 6 months.
Your result is calculated with the original ASRS algorithm, not a HelpClinic scale of our own: it counts how many of your answers fell in the range the authors marked as significant. Four or more such answers is a positive screen.
Important: This questionnaire does not make a diagnosis. A positive screen means it is worth consulting a specialist who can carry out a full assessment.

Processing your results...
Answers stay in your browser until submission. With explicit consent, see your result immediately without an account or email. Saved results link to your browser session, without answers, IP addresses or full browser details. Private access lasts 30 days; daily cleanup deletes expired results from the active database within one day. Analytics needs separate consent; answers, results, email and topics are excluded.
To withdraw storage consent, you can delete the saved result from its result page in the browser where you completed the questionnaire. If that browser session is lost or you open an email link on another device, contact the privacy team for deletion.
