Adult ADHD Screener — ASRS v1.1 (6 Questions)

A brief, source-based screening questionnaire for adults age 18 and older

Answer six questions about experiences during the past six months. The ASRS v1.1 Screener can help identify whether a fuller ADHD evaluation may be worth discussing, but it cannot diagnose ADHD.

What this screening can tell you

The ASRS v1.1 six-question screener is a brief adult ADHD screening questionnaire, not a diagnostic test. Each response is scored from 0 to 4 and the six values are added for a 0–24 total. Under the cited updated scoring method, a score of 14 or higher meets the screening cutoff and may support discussing a fuller evaluation.

Scoring example

Never = 0, Rarely = 1, Sometimes = 2, Often = 3, and Very Often = 4. Six ‘Often’ responses total 18 out of 24. That is a screening result only; diagnosis requires broader history, impairment, and professional evaluation.
