About your score

Each of the 18 questions of the ASRS v1.1 has a clinical threshold. Reaching the clinical threshold on each question is worth 1 point.

The first 6 questions are the strongest indicators of risk for ADHD. Therefore, your overall score is out of 6. A score of 4 or above indicates symptoms consistent with ADHD, but it is not a diagnosis.

There are also two subscales: one for inattention, and another for hyperactivity/impulsivity. Your score on each of these subscales is out of 9. The subscales are for your information only—they do not indicate a diagnosis of ADHD inattentive type, hyperactive/impulsive type, or combined type.

Inattention questions: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Hyperactivity/impulsivity questions: 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

To monitor your ADHD severity over time:

Option 1: Create an MHA Screening account to save your results and track changes over time.

Option 2: Track your scores manually:

  1. Print or email your initial results. This is your baseline.
  2. Continue to screen at regular intervals (for example, every 2 weeks).
  3. Note any changes in your Total Score (above).
  4. Print or email results and bring them to someone who is helping you in your recovery.
