Adult ADHD Test | ADDA

Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a relatively common, often unrecognized condition. It affects 4.4% of U.S. adults, but most adults with ADHD live with the symptoms and suffer the often-devastating effects of ADHD in their lives without identifying the source of their struggles. Instead, their difficulties are attributed to their own shortcomings.

Once diagnosed, many adults are happy to learn that they do not have a character flaw as aptly described in the title of one popular book on ADHD, “You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!” (a classic book for adults with ADHD).

Yes, Adult ADHD Exists

Many adults who suffer from untreated ADHD avoid diagnosis or treatment due to the negative stigma associated with ADHD.

Many people dismiss ADHD as little more than laziness targeted as a marketing opportunity by pharmaceutical companies. However, many years of scientific research confirms adult ADHD does indeed exist, and that ADHD diminishes adults’ quality of life.

Regardless of the stigma surrounding ADHD, knowing about your adult ADHD is preferable to struggling unawares. With an accurate diagnosis, many treatment options and coping strategies become available. ADHD is not a “one size fits all” disorder and many factors must be considered before a definitive diagnosis is made and an appropriate treatment is found.

It’s Better to Know

An ADHD diagnosis is not a death sentence, nor does it guarantee a lifetime of taking pills. Medication is not always effective, and there are many adults with ADHD who do not want medication as part of their treatment plan. However, without knowing you have adult ADHD, there’s certainly nothing anyone can do to help.

If you do have ADHD, you can rely on ADDA, the world’s only organization dedicated exclusively to helping adults with ADHD.

ADDA provides accurate and science-based education on treatment alternatives such as CBT, ADHD coaching, and medication, and as scientific research has proven the benefits of additional treatments, ADDA has also expanded its education efforts to include strategies such as mindfulness practice, exercise, diet and therapy.

The World Health Organization Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener

*

The World Health Organization has prepared a self-screening ADHD questionnaire* you can use to determine if you might have adult ADHD. The Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener* will help you recognize the signs and symptoms of adult ADHD. The ASRS is comprised of 6 questions that are ranked on a scale of 0 to 4. If you have at least 4 of these 6 symptoms significantly, you may have ADHD and should seek out a formal diagnosis.

When you complete this Adult ADHD questionnaire, if the results seem to indicate you might have ADHD (that is, four or more of your answers in Part A are located in the grey boxes), then bring a copy of the questionnaire with you when you seek diagnosis to help with the diagnostic process.

A Good Starting Point

This screening test is a symptoms checklist for adult ADHD and not a diagnostic test. A full assessment and potential diagnosis of ADHD is not accomplished using an online test or during a quick doctor’s appointment.

A thorough evaluation usually takes more than one visit, and must be done by a professional who is trained in ADHD*. Other conditions can sometimes resemble ADHD, so it is important to work with a professional who is able to rule out these other conditions and make the appropriate diagnosis.  Many psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and some general practice physicians are trained to diagnose adult ADHD.

A thorough assessment requires a complete physical and psychiatric medical history as well as screening to rule out any possible physical disorders. All assessments should include an extensive interview with you and often with your significant other (other people are often more aware of your behaviors and struggles than you are), and the application of various symptom-rating scales. For accuracy, it is common to use more than one scale to confirm results.

*Note: The professionals qualified to diagnose ADHD, especially ADHD in adults, are defined differently by the governing bodies of mental and/or medical health professionals on a state-by-state and country-by-country level. The list of approved professionals to perform ADHD diagnoses therefore varies with each jurisdiction. The process of diagnosing ADHD, particularly in adults, requires extensive knowledge, skills and training, not only to identify ADHD properly, but to separate comorbid conditions and correctly distinguish and diagnose other conditions which may mimic ADHD. Check with your local health care governing body for a definitive list of care providers deemed qualified to diagnose ADHD.

        Test Sticker in Instagram Stories - how to use, add and see answers

        A fresh update on Instagram* brought us test stickers that can be used in Stories. And not just tests, but tests with answers.

        People love quizzes, instant responses, and game mechanics, which means that quizzes will find a place in the content strategy of almost any company that promotes on Instagram*.

        How tests are arranged in Stories

        Tests are interactive stickers that contain 2 to 4 items. The correct answer is sewn into them, so when you choose one of the items, you will immediately know whether your guess is correct or not.

        Tests on Instagram* continue the general trend of engaging Stories stickers, which previously included "Questions", "Polls", "Countdown Timer" and other stickers.

        A new wave of Stories with tests rolled on Instagram*

        How to add a test to a Story

        Take a photo for the Story (or upload your old photo or video to it), then go to the "Stickers" section, where you can select one of the widgets.

        Go to the stickers and select "Tests"

        After clicking on the "Tests" icon, your future test will appear on the screen. You can enter the name of the test and test items (from 2 to 4), as well as indicate which of the answer options is correct.

        Please enter the correct answer for your question

        Quizzes can be customized, such as changing their colors. There are a lot of colors this time - not 4-6, as it was at the start with other engaging stickers, but more. True, you cannot choose a color with a pipette, you will have to scroll until you find a more or less suitable option.

        You can change the colors of tests using the settings at the top of the screen

        How to view subscribers' answers

        When you answer a test, you will immediately know whether you answered correctly or incorrectly: the correct answer is immediately highlighted in green. Also, a vibration of various kinds is given out: a short one for the correct answer and a longer one for the wrong one.

        All answers of subscribers to the test - both correct and incorrect - are visible only to the owner of the account; statistics are not available for outside users.

        In the statistics you can see each answer, as well as the number of votes for each option

        To see the answers to your test, swipe the test story from the bottom up. In the statistics that appear, information will be collected on the answers of each user, as well as on the total number of voters for each of the points of your test.

        How you can use Stories quizzes for content and engagement

        This is where things get really interesting, as the other engagement stickers on Instagram* (polls, questions, and so on) still get a good response from followers and increase engagement.

        Keep fresh four ideas for new tests:

        Engaging games . Create a series of tests on one topic related to your business, let subscribers try to guess the correct answer. It can be "a few facts about the company", and a real quest with an exciting plot.

        Competitions with award . The same idea can be developed by offering subscribers a reward for the most correct answers. Of course, you should choose more difficult questions in order to weed out the winner. True, you will have to sort through the answers and determine the winner manually.

        Target audience research . Find out what your target audience likes by offering her not 2 (as in surveys), but from 2 to 4 answer options. Thanks to statistics, you can understand which answer option was chosen most often and take into account the opinion of your subscribers.

        Fun test . Psychological tests have remained popular for decades. In principle, any Cosmopolitan magazine-level entertainment test can be adapted for tests in History - just remember that users will not be able to see the number of points or somehow calculate them.

        You can do self-diagnostic tests, such as "Style: am I dramatic?", "How witchy am I?" and so on.
