What does it mean if someone scores this on a quiz?
Question:
It is highly likely that you are presently suffering from adult attention deficit disorder, according to your responses on this self-report questionnaire. You should not take this as a diagnosis of any sort, or a recommendation for treatment. However, it would be advisable and likely beneficial for you to seek further diagnosis from a trained mental health professional immediately.
Answers:
It means that you answered the questions in a way that people with ADHD often answer the questions. However, the symptoms of ADHD are similar to a lot of other disorders and somewhat similar to things that we all have to fight against to be productive adults.
If you took this quiz because you are experiencing difficulties at school or work, and you wanted to know if you have ADHD, then I recommend you seek out some psychological testing with a trained psychologist. This person will give you reliable tests that help diagnose ADHD and that rule out other problems. They will make reccommendations based on the results...which may or may not include medication, therapy, or other supports. Just remember, you get to choose what treatments you pursue...no one else.
However, if your life is going well, and you're not experiencing difficulties, and you're pleased with your performance at school or work, then I would not put much faith in these quiz results. These quizzes are developed by drug companies, and almost always score as if a person has at least a mild problem.
