ADHD means Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. Kids who are diagnosed with this disorder are usually hyperactive. As adults, we don’t have this hypearctivity anymore instead it is associated with our being restlessness and fidgety sometimes. Adults having this issue may encounter problems at work and relationship. The trouble at work may arise when the employee with this disorder will go to work late or may not be able to meet deadlines constantly. In a relationship, the adults with ADD are often frantic and messy which are quite annoying to some.
Anyway, do you like to find out if you are an adult with ADD? Or just play along who knows you might find this interesting.
Disclaimer: If you suspect that you are adult with ADD and you feel you need this to be addressed to you can always consult specialist with this disorder to help you out.

You got: Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder
You got: Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder
That’s a relief. 🙂
Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder
I don’t have ADD thankfully.
Good to know thanks for taking the quiz.
You got: Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder. I knew that, because both of my sons have it. One is ADHD the other ADD. Great facts here in this quiz. Pretty dead on.
Hey Kim, Glad to see you again here. I don’t see much of the others anymore. Are your sons adults or still kids?
Good to see you again, I’ve missed you miss 123456! My sons are old. In their 30’s. They act like they are older than me. 😉
“Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder” – Nice to know!
Nice to know also Norman. It’s nice to see some people I have met here are still here some how.
I reckon I’ll be here as long as there is a ‘here’ Mavic 😀
You might have a SLIGHT AD disorder.
You have a slight and yet you are doing well. This is manageable actually. It’s nice to see you here Thomas.
I knew it (lol) It says “Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder”
It said I might have AD disorder.
so how do you feel now? Do you think you should seek the help of the professionals?
no. i have a mellow personality. i do a lot of yoga and walking as well as too much meditation.
You might have a SLIGHT AD disorder.
Well… I have a SLIGHT ADD. hehehe …
One thing… when I think for something like solving a problem… I walk around… 😀
oh yeah, and see it is not really that bad at all, it is just that we have to be aware of our limitations.
i was part (as a teacher) of the original Case Western adhd study many years ago. That is the study that created the overall ADHD/ADD spectrum.
Everyone is on that spectrum to a degree. This is a great awareness piece!!!
Thank you. Wow… that’s nice, so you were one of those adults who can manage their disorder. Congratulations. You did it well.
actually i was a teacher providing data input to the original study and analysis.
my personal ADD is on the minor end of the spectrum which is where more than 70% of people are.
Interesting. So all of us are at least around 70%. You have done such interesting work Doc.
yup!
my father’s favorite one was that 75% of people have an abnormal overbite. By definition, if 75% of a population has something it isn’t abnormal!
Interesting quiz and I don’t have the disorder. That is good for me because with my writing jobs I always have to be done by a certain deadline
Thanks for taking a part of this quiz. Did you find this somehow true?
You got: Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder! I think I am okay and nothing to worry!
Congratulations! nothing to worry about.
You got: You might have an AD disorder.
I do have attention trouble and day dream a lot. I would probably omit the word disorder, because that’s a diagnose.
ohh sorry about the word disorder but that’s the only term I can use. Anyway, adults who know how to handle this may or who have handled this over the years were able to make it and some have used this into their advantage.
I meant that disorder is something that a specialist would diagnose, and a quiz could indicate difficulty paying attention, for example.
yes, and really if it is bothersome to some people about this condition they can always see professional help and intervention. but for some adults who have overcome to the situation it is just a matter of addressing to the problem, for example, forgetfulness, just have a post it or board to write on things
Super quiz! You got: Clearly, you DON’T have an AD disorder
Thanks, I am glad you participated. Nothing to worry about now. sorry for the word disorder because somehow some find it a bit offensive.
Intersting quiz. You got: You might have a SLIGHT AD disorder.
Though I don’t intend to diagnose people, these are the notable characteristics of the adults with ADD. Adults who are accepting the facts able to overcome and make use of these characteristics to improve themselves.
