Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1)

Background

The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) is a psychological screening questionnaire used to measure symptoms related to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults.

The assessment looks at attention difficulties, forgetfulness, organization problems, restlessness, impulsive behavior, and hyperactivity in daily life.

The ASRS v1.1 is widely used in mental health screening and ADHD research because it provides a quick and reliable way to identify possible adult ADHD symptoms.

Higher scores may suggest attention regulation difficulties, executive functioning problems, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or ADHD-related challenges affecting work, school, relationships, or daily functioning.

Procedure

You will be presented with 18 statements about attention, organization, activity level, and daily behavior.

Read each statement carefully and choose the response that best matches your usual experiences and behavior.

Please answer honestly according to your typical daily functioning and experiences.

Participation

This assessment is intended for adults who are able to understand and honestly answer questions about attention, activity level, and behavior.

Participation is voluntary. Responses are anonymous and intended for educational, self-awareness, and research-related purposes only.

Higher scores may reflect attention difficulties, impulsivity, hyperactivity, executive functioning problems, or possible ADHD-related symptoms.
