ADULT ADD QUESTIONNAIRE

This questionnaire is provided as a guide only, and should in no way be considered diagnostic.

The scale is the Wender Utah Adult ADD Scale 5.0.

The questions are scored from 1 to 5. The maximum possible score is 120. My unofficial guide is: 0-50 probably not ADD, 50-75 maybe, 75 -100 probably and above 100, it’s for sure.

The questions below refer to how you have behaved and felt DURING THE PAST WEEK. Rate each question on a scale of 0 to five, using the following scale:

0 = not at all	1 = just a little	2 = somewhat
3 = moderately	4 = quite a lot	5 = very much

1. At home, work, or school, I find my mind wandering from tasks that are uninteresting or difficult.	0 1 2 3 4 5
2. I find it difficult to read written material unless it is very interesting or very easy.	0 1 2 3 4 5
3. Especially in groups, I find I hard to say focused on what is being said in conversations.	0 1 2 3 4 5
4. I have a quick temper…a short fuse.	0 1 2 3 4 5
5. I am irritable, and get upset by minor annoyances.	0 1 2 3 4 5
