What is the ASRS?

The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) was developed with the World Health Organization. Part A is a validated six-question adult ADHD screener.

The full 18-question symptom checklist adds Part B. It describes inattention and hyperactivity–impulsivity, but it does not diagnose ADHD.

About ASRS

What it covers

  • Sustained attention and follow-through
  • Organization and memory
  • Restlessness and impulsivity
  • Social interruptions and waiting
Part A screening logic

A positive screen means four or more Part A answers reach their item-specific cutoffs—not simply four Often answers.

How scoring works

Part A uses a different cutoff for each of its six questions. The 0–72 total describes symptom frequency; it is not an official WHO diagnostic threshold.

The ASRS ADHD Test Editorial Desk checked the scoring and health claims against these sources on October 21, 2026.

  1. Part A: 0–3

    Below the screen cutoff

    Fewer than four Part A answers reached their item-specific cutoffs. This does not rule out ADHD.

  2. Part A: 4–6

    Positive screen

    Four or more Part A answers reached their item-specific cutoffs. This supports follow-up, not a diagnosis.

  3. Total: 0–72

    Descriptive score

    The total sums answer frequency. The WHO does not define 24 as a universal ASRS v1.1 cutoff.

Only a licensed clinician can diagnose ADHD after a full evaluation.

FAQ

Common questions about the ASRS adult ADHD screen.

Start the test
How accurate is the ASRS?

It is a validated screening questionnaire, not a perfect detector. A positive screen raises the chance that ADHD traits are present; a negative screen does not fully rule them out.

How is Part A scored?

Part A is the first six items. Each question has its own cutoff: Sometimes for items 1–3, and Often for items 4–6. Four or more answers at or above those cutoffs is a positive screen.

How long does it take?

Most people finish all eighteen items in five to seven minutes. Progress is saved in this browser so you can continue later.

Is it free and private?

The screen is free and needs no account. Scoring stays in your browser. Individual answers are not uploaded to a server.

Is the ASRS a diagnosis?

No. It is a screening tool only. Diagnosis requires a clinical evaluation by a licensed professional.

Can ADHD be recognized later in adulthood?

Yes. Many adults were never assessed as children. Overlap with anxiety, autism, or sleep issues is also common—bring the full picture to a clinician.
