Understanding Moderate to High Scores (25+)

Your score is {totalScore143}, which falls in the moderate to high range (25+).

Score Breakdown

25 and above: Moderate to high ADHD traits, likely indicating significant attentional or executive functioning challenges that may require further evaluation.

Your Score Suggests:

A moderate to high number of ADHD-related traits that may impact focus, task completion, or impulse control.

Difficulty with organization, time management, or maintaining attention on tasks.

A tendency toward forgetfulness, distractibility, or impulsive decision-making that affects daily life.

When to Explore ADHD Clinically

Scores in the moderate to high range may suggest the need for further exploration of how ADHD traits influence daily life and well-being.

ADHD traits may require support when they are accompanied by:

Persistent struggles with focus, leading to difficulty completing work or personal tasks.

Impulsivity that results in difficulties with decision-making or social interactions.

Significant procrastination, disorganization, or difficulty following through on plans.

The Overlap with Other Conditions

ADHD frequently co-occurs with conditions like:

Autism

Depression

Anxiety

Mood Disorders

Next Steps

If these resonate, seeking support from an ADHD-informed professional can provide clarity, self-understanding, and helpful strategies for navigating challenges.

Your score is {totalScore143}, which falls into the low score range (0-24).

Score Breakdown

25 and above: Moderate to high ADHD traits, likely indicating significant attentional or executive functioning challenges that may require further evaluation.

Your score suggests:

Minimal traits related to ADHD, indicating a general ability to maintain focus, organization, and impulse control within typical ranges.

Few to occasional difficulties with attention, task completion, or hyperactivity.

A general ability to manage responsibilities and daily life without significant need for accommodations or support.

When Low Traits Are a Strength

Low to mild scores on the ADHD spectrum highlight abilities that can support personal and professional success. These strengths include:

Consistent attention and focus on tasks without frequent distractions.

Effective time management and organizational skills.

An ability to complete projects and maintain productivity without significant struggles.

The Overlap with Other Conditions

While low generally indicate minimal ADHD traits, it’s worth considering whether any of the following are present:

Occasional forgetfulness, procrastination, or distractibility that may still impact efficiency.

Stress or anxiety, which can sometimes mimic attention-related difficulties.

The possibility of other conditions such as anxiety, depression, or executive functioning challenges that could explain certain struggles.

Next Steps

If you experience challenges with focus, organization, or motivation in specific situations, exploring these with a mental health professional could be beneficial.
