DSM - IV Criteria Test for ADHD

This test was developed by the American Psychiatric Association in 2000. Below is a mini version that allows you to see if you may have ADHD.
Check the box to the left any statements that may apply to you or your child.
Pressing Submit Test, at the bottom of the page, returns a preliminary report.
