Six Dimensions of Adult ADHD

Our screener evaluates the core symptom domains that define attention deficit patterns in adults - going beyond childhood stereotypes to capture real-world challenges.

Sustained Attention

Measures your ability to maintain focus on tasks over time without drifting into distraction. This dimension captures the core challenge of ADHD - the mind's tendency to wander from the present task to unrelated thoughts, stimuli, or impulses.

Impulse Control

Evaluates how often you act without thinking, interrupt others, or make hasty decisions. Impulsivity in ADHD can manifest in conversations, purchases, risk-taking, and emotional reactions that feel automatic rather than considered.

Organization & Planning

Assesses your ability to structure tasks, manage time, meet deadlines, and keep belongings orderly. Organizational difficulties are a hallmark of ADHD that impacts work performance, relationships, and daily functioning.

Emotional Regulation

Tracks mood swings, frustration tolerance, and emotional intensity. ADHD often includes emotional dysregulation that goes beyond typical mood variability - rapid shifts from calm to overwhelm that feel outside your control.

Hyperactivity Indicators

Screens for physical restlessness, fidgeting, and the feeling of being driven by a motor. Even adults with primarily inattentive ADHD often report internal restlessness - a mind that never quiets even when the body is still.

Task Initiation

Measures how difficult it is to start tasks even when you know they are important. Task initiation paralysis is a common ADHD experience where motivation gaps create a wall between intention and action.
