Question 1 of 9

How often do you find it difficult to sustain your focus on a single task, like reading or detailed work, until it's finished?

Understanding the Three ADHD Presentations

ADHD isn't one-size-fits-all. The DSM-5 recognizes three presentations: Predominantly Inattentive, where the main challenges are sustaining focus, organization, and working memory; Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive, characterised by physical restlessness, impatience, and impulsive decision-making; and Combined Presentation, which includes significant symptoms from both categories. Knowing your type is the first step toward finding strategies — and tools — that actually work for your brain.

How This Quiz Works

Each question maps to either the inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptom cluster defined in the DSM-5. Your answers are scored on a 0–4 scale (Never → Very Often). We then normalize the two scores for a fair comparison and determine which presentation is strongest for you. The entire assessment takes under two minutes.
