About Your Score
Each of your answers has a score of 0-3. Click "Your Answers" above to see your score for each question.
Not at All = 0; Just a Little = 1; Quite a Bit = 2; Very Much = 3
Your results include three separate scores that help identify different types of challenges. Each score is calculated by adding up specific questions and dividing by the number of questions in that section.
Interpreting your scores
- Inattention Score: Add up questions 1-9 and divide by 9. An average score above 1.78 suggests challenges with attention.
- Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Score: Add up questions 10-18 and divide by 9. An average score above 1.44 suggests challenges with hyperactivity and impulsivity.
- Oppositional Defiant Score: Add up questions 19-26 and divide by 8. An average score above 1.88 suggests challenges with oppositional behaviors.
- Combined ADHD Score: When both the Inattention score AND the Hyperactivity/Impulsivity score are above their respective cutoffs, this suggests challenges with both attention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Scores slightly below these cutoffs may indicate mild symptoms that could benefit from professional evaluation. If you have concerns about your child's attention, activity level, or behavior, consider discussing them with a healthcare provider even if scores fall below the cutoffs.
It's possible to score above the cutoff on one or more areas while scoring below the cutoff in others. This helps identify specific areas where support might be needed.
