About the ASRS test
The official adult ADHD screening instrument, developed with the WHO.
What the test shows
ASRS is a short screening instrument for adults. It was developed by a research team led by Ronald Kessler together with the World Health Organization, Harvard, and New York University (Kessler et al., 2005). It’s just six questions — the ones that best predict ADHD and that clinicians use for an initial assessment.
What the test measures
- Domain 1
Inattention
Trouble finishing what you start, planning things out, remembering appointments, and getting down to anything that takes mental effort.
- Domain 2
Hyperactivity & impulsivity
Inner restlessness and excess energy: it’s hard to sit still, and you feel a constant pull to move and do something.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from other ADHD tests online?
It’s the official ASRS — the very six-question screener developed with the WHO and used by clinicians. These questions weren’t chosen just to ask about symptoms — they’re the ones that pinpoint ADHD in adults most accurately.
Can this result be used as a diagnosis?
No. The ASRS is a screening tool: it shows how closely your answers resemble a picture of ADHD, but only a doctor can diagnose it after an in-person assessment. If the result worries you, it’s worth seeing a specialist or starting with a free session with an AI therapist.
How long does the test take, and do I need to sign up?
Six questions, about a minute and a half. No registration, email, or payment required — the test is free and anonymous, and you see your result right after finishing.
What should I do if the test shows pronounced signs?
Pronounced signs aren’t a diagnosis — they’re a reason to look closer. Adult ADHD is well understood, and once you see how it shows up for you, life and work get noticeably easier. It’s worth seeing a psychiatrist or therapist, and a free session with Mira can help you sort out what to do next.
