ASRS v1.1 Adult ADHD Screening Test
What is the ASRS v1.1 Adult ADHD Test?
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Version 1.1 (ASRS-v1.1) is a more comprehensive ADHD screening tool for adults.
Unlike the shorter ASRS-5, this version includes 18 questions that evaluate how frequently ADHD traits, such as difficulty focusing, impulsivity, or hyperactivity, impact various aspects of your life.
Whether you struggle with work tasks, maintaining relationships, or managing everyday responsibilities, the ASRS-v1.1 provides deeper insights into your symptoms.
This full ADHD screening test takes approximately 5–7 minutes to complete.
How are ASRS-v1.1 scores interpreted?
- A score of 4-6 suggests a presence of ADHD
- A score below 4 suggests an absence of ADHD
- The first 6 questions of the questionnaire can identify almost 70% of people with ADHD.
- It is important to note that the ASRS-v1.1 is only a screening instrument to help with the assessment process and an accurate diagnosis of ADHD can only be made by a qualified specialist
