The tests I wish I had found
before my neuropsych evaluation.
Five free tests, no signup, no email. Each one is built on a publicly validated scale (WHO's ASRS v1.1, Barkley's BDEFS, Aron's HSP Scale) or inspired by the scientific literature when no self-administered scale exists (giftedness, rejection sensitivity). I cite the original source of each.
These are not diagnoses. The adult ADHD test is a WHO-validated screening, meaning it orients toward a clinical evaluation with a solid score to bring your clinician. The other tests are compasses: they illuminate a way of functioning, they don't issue a label.

Adult ADHD test ASRS v1.1
The most widely used adult ADHD screening worldwide, developed by the WHO with Kessler and Adler in 2005. 18 questions, Part A (primary screening) and Part B (extended profile). Score by dimension: inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity.
Adult giftedness test
No validated self-administered scale exists for giftedness (the WAIS requires a psychologist). This test is inspired by the clinical markers described by Jeanne Siaud-Facchin and James Webb. 15 questions on 4 dimensions: tree-like thinking, hyperesthesia, critical lucidity, social misfit.
Executive function test
Inspired by the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS). 20 questions on 5 dimensions: time management, organization, emotion regulation, motivation, inhibition. Useful for seeing where your brain concretely blocks, ADHD or not.
Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) test
RSD has no official clinical scale. William Dodson, an ADHD psychiatrist, made it a central clinical marker of adult ADHD. 12 questions inspired by his observations and Downey's Rejection Sensitivity Scale.
Hypersensitivity test
Inspired by Elaine Aron's Highly Sensitive Person Scale (1997). 14 questions on 3 dimensions: sensory, emotional, cognitive. Hypersensitivity affects 15 to 20% of the population per Aron. It's not a pathology, it's a trait.
Before my neuropsych evaluation, I looked for serious tests. Most of what I found was magazine quizzes ("are you ADHD? answer 5 questions"), unsourced copy-pastes of the ASRS, or paid tests at 49 euros promising a diagnosis. It pissed me off.
These tests are free, cite their source, ask for no email or signup, and tell you honestly what they are (a screening or a compass) and what they are not (a diagnosis). If a score orients you toward a clinical evaluation, that's what they're meant to do.
