ADHD questionnaire: observations about attention and organization.
Mark familiar situations and collect observations about everyday difficulties. Then choose one small step to help organize your tasks.
This questionnaire supports adult self-observation; it does not diagnose ADHD. The clinical validity of its scores has not been established. A high score does not confirm ADHD, and a low score does not rule it out.

Can the score identify ADHD?
No. Scores describe the answers in this questionnaire, not the probability of a diagnosis. Professional assessment considers your history, different settings and other possible causes of difficulties.
How can Sinqly help here?
As an organization tool: record the next action, keep details alongside the task and see completion. This is not treatment or proven medical effectiveness.
Can I change treatment based on the result?
No. An online questionnaire is not a basis for starting, stopping or changing treatment. Discuss your questions with a qualified professional.
