  • Sarah M.

    London, UK · March 2026

    5/5

    I took this before my GP appointment and it helped me describe what I was experiencing instead of just saying "I can't focus." My doctor said the summary was useful context.

  • Michael R.

    Melbourne, Australia · March 2026

    5/5

    I was already diagnosed but curious how this compared. It flagged the same patterns my psychiatrist identified. Sent it to a friend who has been putting off getting assessed.

  • Emma T.

    Vancouver, Canada · February 2026

    4/5

    Finished in about five minutes which was good because I would have abandoned something longer. The results email had useful next steps. I wish it explained a bit more about what each score range means.

  • David L.

    Auckland, New Zealand · February 2026

    5/5

    I had been reading forums for months trying to figure out if I had ADHD or was just stressed. This gave me a structured starting point instead of more speculation.

  • Jessica C.

    Calgary, Canada · January 2026

    4/5

    My friend sent me this after I kept losing track of conversations. It's not a diagnosis, obviously, but it organized my concerns enough to book an actual appointment.

  • Priya N.

    Manchester, UK · January 2026

    5/5

    I was expecting a "pay for your full results" screen at the end. There wasn't one. Got the email, read through it, and booked with my GP the next week.

  • James K.

    Sydney, Australia · December 2025

    5/5

    Took this on my phone during a lunch break. Showed the results to my wife that evening and she said "that explains a lot." We both laughed but it was also a relief.

  • Rachel B.

    Wellington, New Zealand · December 2025

    4/5

    The questions felt relevant to my actual day-to-day, not generic psych quiz stuff. I appreciated that the results didn't try to scare me into anything.

  • Omar F.

    Toronto, Canada · November 2025

    5/5

    The follow-up email was more useful than the instant score, honestly. Gave me specific things to bring up with a professional instead of just a number.

  • Helen W.

    Portland, Oregon · November 2025

    5/5

    I did this on my phone at 2am because I couldn't sleep. Fitting, I guess. No account needed, just email. The results were waiting for me in the morning.

  • Alex P.

    Bristol, UK · October 2025

    5/5

    My GP asked me to describe my symptoms and I froze up. Wish I had done this beforehand. Went back, retook it, printed the email, and the second appointment went much better.

  • Maria S.

    Perth, Australia · October 2025

    4/5

    Most online quizzes ask vague things like "do you get distracted?" This one asked about specific situations that actually happen to me. Made it feel more credible.

  • Connor M.

    Montreal, Canada · September 2025

    5/5

    I spent two years thinking "maybe I have ADHD, maybe I don't." Taking five minutes to answer structured questions was better than two years of guessing.

  • Sophie L.

    Brisbane, Australia · September 2025

    4/5

    Twelve questions felt a bit quick for something this important. That said, the email breakdown added enough context that I felt comfortable bringing it to my doctor.

  • Tyler H.

    Christchurch, New Zealand · August 2025

    5/5

    I've done those "10 signs you have ADHD" lists a hundred times. This actually felt structured. The questions were clinical without being intimidating.

  • Amanda K.

    Ottawa, Canada · August 2025

    5/5

    After I took it I sent the link to my sister, my coworker, and my college roommate. All three said it was the push they needed to look into it seriously.

  • Marcus T.

    Adelaide, Australia · July 2025

    3/5

    The screener itself was fine. I was hoping the results email would link to more articles or next steps for my specific score range. It covered the basics but I had to search for more on my own.

  • Katie S.

    Hamilton, New Zealand · July 2025

    5/5

    I Googled "do I have ADHD test" expecting garbage and was surprised to find something that felt legitimate. Clean design, no popups, no weird ads.

  • Chris R.

    Winnipeg, Canada · June 2025

    4/5

    I had my doctor's number pulled up for weeks but kept putting it off. Seeing my results in writing made it harder to keep ignoring.

  • Lisa P.

    Gold Coast, Australia · June 2025

    5/5

    Showed my results to my therapist and she said it lined up with what we'd been discussing. She actually bookmarked the site to recommend to other clients.

  • Jordan L.

    Halifax, Canada · May 2025

    5/5

    Where I live the waitlist for an ADHD assessment is over a year. Having something structured to start with, even just a screener, made the wait feel less overwhelming.

  • Taylor M.

    Phoenix, Arizona · May 2025

    4/5

    I was skeptical because most free health tools online are trying to sell you something. This one just gave me results and pointed me to the next step. That's it.

  • Morgan K.

    Canberra, Australia · April 2025

    5/5

    I did the whole thing on the bus. Loaded fast, easy to tap through, and the email came within a minute. No complaints.

  • Casey R.

    Edinburgh, UK · April 2025

    5/5

    I kept telling myself everyone struggles with focus sometimes. Seeing a structured summary of how often and how much made me realize this might be worth investigating properly.

  • Riley T.

    Saskatoon, Canada · March 2025

    4/5

    Not going to replace a real evaluation, but that's the point. It gave me enough to walk into a clinic and say "here's what I'm noticing" with some structure behind it.

  • Nina V.

    Dublin, Ireland · March 2025

    5/5

    The flow felt calm and the results summary gave me language I could bring to my GP without feeling rushed or judged.

  • Samir K.

    Minneapolis, Minnesota · February 2025

    4/5

    I took it once when I was having a rough week and again a month later when things were calmer. The scores were pretty close, which told me it wasn't just a bad day.

  • Elena G.

    Vienna, Austria · February 2025

    5/5

    I've tried a few online screeners before. This one felt closer to what I'd expect from a clinic than from a random website. I still followed up with a doctor, as recommended.

  • Marcus B.

    Atlanta, Georgia · January 2025

    5/5

    I was deep in Reddit threads self-diagnosing. Taking a structured screener and getting a clear summary was way more useful than another hundred comment threads.

  • Fatima Z.

    Abu Dhabi, UAE · January 2025

    4/5

    The disclaimers were upfront and clear. I appreciated that it didn't pretend to be a diagnosis. That honesty made me trust the results more, not less.

  • Ben H.

    Leeds, UK · December 2024

    5/5

    She'd been gently suggesting I might have ADHD for years. I finally sat down and did this. Scored higher than I expected and that was enough to get me to book an appointment.

  • Laura C.

    Denver, Colorado · December 2024

    5/5

    I hate creating accounts for things. This just asked for an email to send results. Simple. Did what it said it would do.

  • Aiden W.

    Newcastle, UK · November 2024

    4/5

    I lose interest in long forms so the twelve questions were the right length for me. Ironic, maybe, given the subject matter.

  • Megan D.

    Hobart, Australia · November 2024

    5/5

    I had an assessment booked already and used my results to prep. My psychiatrist said it was a reasonable reflection of what she was seeing in our sessions.

  • Jonas E.

    Oslo, Norway · October 2024

    5/5

    I used the results as a starting point for a conversation with a clinician. The wording was neutral and factual, which I preferred over anything dramatic.

  • Chloe A.

    Cork, Ireland · October 2024

    5/5

    The results didn't just give me a score and leave me hanging. There were actual suggestions for what to do depending on where I landed. That part mattered most.

  • Diego R.

    Barcelona, Spain · September 2024

    4/5

    It covered day-to-day symptoms I recognized, not just the stereotypical "can't sit still" stuff. The inattentive questions felt like someone was describing my workday.

  • Yuki T.

    Singapore · September 2024

    5/5

    I shared the summary with my therapist before our first session. She said it gave her a head start and we skipped a lot of the "tell me about your symptoms" phase.

  • Nadia J.

    Birmingham, UK · August 2024

    4/5

    I spent ages looking for a screener that wasn't trying to sell me a subscription or an app. This was just... a screener. Exactly what I wanted.

  • Ryan O.

    Chicago, Illinois · August 2024

    5/5

    I was dealing with work problems and kept blaming stress. The screener helped me separate "stress response" from "patterns I've had since college." Different conversation with my doctor after that.

  • Isla M.

    Glasgow, Scotland · July 2024

    5/5

    The instant score on screen was fine but the email breakdown was where the real value was. I read it three times and highlighted things to bring to my appointment.

  • Sam W.

    Kelowna, Canada · July 2024

    4/5

    It was clear from the start that this wouldn't diagnose me. That actually made me more comfortable answering honestly instead of trying to "test positive."

  • Zara H.

    Melbourne, Australia · June 2024

    5/5

    I wasn't sure if what I was experiencing was ADHD, anxiety, or just being overwhelmed. This didn't answer that definitively but it gave me something concrete to discuss with a professional.

  • Liam F.

    Cardiff, Wales · June 2024

    3/5

    It does what it says. Twelve questions, quick results. I was hoping for a bit more depth or maybe a breakdown by symptom category. Still, it was free and fast, so hard to complain.

  • Grace N.

    Seattle, Washington · May 2024

    5/5

    I had been going back and forth about whether to get assessed for almost a year. Five minutes on this and I had my answer. Not a diagnosis, but the motivation to go get one.

  • Tom B.

    Dunedin, New Zealand · May 2024

    5/5

    I work in HR and a few people have asked me about ADHD screening. I sent them this because it's straightforward and doesn't oversell or understate anything.

  • Jen R.

    Sheffield, UK · April 2024

    4/5

    No popups, no chatbots, no "wait, before you go!" stuff. Just the test. I notice these things because they usually drive me away immediately.

  • Daniel P.

    Austin, Texas · April 2024

    5/5

    Took it once, then again after starting treatment to see if my answers changed. They did. My doctor said that kind of self-tracking is actually useful.

  • Amy L.

    Nottingham, UK · March 2024

    5/5

    A colleague mentioned she'd used this before her ADHD assessment. I tried it that same evening. The questions were specific enough that I didn't feel like I was guessing.

  • Kevin O.

    Regina, Canada · March 2024

    4/5

    Nothing fancy but it does what it says. Answered the questions, got my email, talked to my doctor the following week. Sometimes simple is better.
