ASRS v1.1 — frequently asked questions

How long does the ASRS v1.1 take?

It has 6 questions and takes about 1–2 min. You answer online, at your own pace.

Is the ASRS v1.1 a diagnosis?

No. The ASRS v1.1 is a validated questionnaire that measures how strong your symptoms are. A diagnosis needs a clinical assessment by a qualified professional — which you can add by taking it with a psychologist.

What do I get if I take it on my own?

An instant automatic report: your score worked out with the published scoring, your severity level and what it means, and the reference ranges from the test manual. You can view and download it straight away.

What does a psychologist add to the report?

After going through your result with you in a session, they add a summary in simple words, their clinical observations, recommendations and next steps, a follow-up plan, a referral if needed, and their signature with their RCI / registration number.

Who developed the ASRS v1.1?

Kessler et al., WHO, 2005. Kessler RC, Adler L, Ames M, et al. The World Health Organization Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS): a short screening scale for use in the general population. Psychol Med. 2005;35(2):245–256.

Are my answers private?

Yes. If you take it on your own, your answers and report are private to you. If you take it with a psychologist, they are shared only with that psychologist.
