Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale
A screening questionnaire developed by the World Health Organisation for assessing symptoms of adult ADHD.
Below are 18 statements about your everyday behaviour. Please indicate how often each statement applies to you.
There are no right or wrong answers — please respond based on how you have felt and conducted yourself over the past 6 months.
Based on your responses to the ASRS v1.1
The ASRS v1.1 is a screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. ADHD can only be diagnosed by a qualified professional through comprehensive clinical assessment. Many factors can contribute to attention and concentration difficulties, and a professional evaluation considers your full history and current circumstances.

The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) was developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in collaboration with Kessler et al. It is the most widely used screening instrument for adult ADHD worldwide. Part A (questions 1-6) serves as the primary screener, while Part B (questions 7-18) provides additional clinical information.
The ASRS is used clinically to identify adults who may have ADHD. A positive Part A screen is the most predictive component. The full 18-item scale provides additional detail across the three symptom domains.
