Opening your patterns…
What your result shows
How often each of the 8 areas came up for you over six months, from low to high. Descriptive bands, not clinical thresholds.
What it does not show
It does not diagnose ADHD or anything else, or estimate how likely it is. These experiences are common to many causes.
Not the ASRS
Original wording, so it can’t be compared with an ASRS score. For the published screener, take the free ADHD test.
Frequently asked questions
What does this reflection tool measure?
Eight everyday areas: starting tasks, planning, working memory, time, your surroundings, switching, the emotional side of tasks, and finishing. It does not ask about restlessness or impulsivity, and it is not a validated ADHD screener.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It is an original NeuroType self reflection tool, not ASRS, and it cannot confirm or rule out ADHD or any other condition. Diagnosis requires a qualified clinician.
How long does it take?
About 10 to 14 minutes, one question at a time. No account needed. Answers stay in this browser, so you can pause and come back.
What will my result include?
A short summary, a bar for each of the eight areas, and points to reflect on. It is not a clinician's interpretation or a diagnostic score.
Can I bring the result to a professional?
Yes. It can help you organise examples before talking to a doctor, psychologist, coach or therapist. They will still use their own assessment.
Is this the ASRS?
No. The wording is original, so results are not comparable to an ASRS score. The published ASRS v1.1 6-question Screener is on the free ADHD test page.
What does executive function actually mean?
The mental skills for getting things done: starting, holding steps in mind, tracking time, switching and finishing. Everyone finds some harder than others, and tiredness, stress or low mood can affect them too, so difficulty is not specific to ADHD.
Why do I manage some tasks easily and freeze on others?
Interest, urgency, novelty or doing it with someone else can change how hard a task feels, even when it is objectively easy. Noticing what changes the difficulty is more useful than judging your ability.
