Can an online quiz really tell you if you have ADHD? Experts say not quite
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale is a widely used screening tool, not a diagnostic test.
The ASRS identifies symptoms that may require closer evaluation rather than confirming ADHD.
A positive ASRS result indicates that symptoms may occur often enough to warrant evaluation, but it does not establish ADHD as their cause.
A randomized controlled trial in *Frontiers in Psychiatry* found that only 12% to 22% of positive ASRS results matched an ADHD diagnosis after full evaluation.
