MOXO ADHD Test
A calm look at how easily your attention gets pulled away, from the task in your hands to the sounds in the next room, and a clearer picture of how your days are arranged.
≈4 min Questions: 20
Do you know that feeling when you sit down to do one thing and look up to find your mind has wandered somewhere else? This test is not asking whether you are doing something wrong; it shows how attention, time, impulses, restlessness and distraction are arranged in your days right now. Choose the answer closest to how things are lately, not how they should be. At the end you get a short, calm read of how noticeable these signs are. It takes about four minutes. And the question underneath is gentler than it sounds: what actually pulls your attention away?

Steady days
Who promised that a quiet mind never wanders? Yours is allowed to.
You lose a line of a conversation, add a snack at the checkout, glance up at a slamming door. Then the day carries on.
Drifting attention, an impulse buy and a sound that pulls your focus away belong to ordinary life, however your answers fall.
It looks like signs of ADHD barely register across these five areas right now. That does not mean flawless memory, timing or concentration; it means none of them stands out as a recognizable feature of your days.
A lamp left on in the hall goes unnoticed until it flickers, and your attention seems to work that way: it comes back without much of a fight.
These answers speak about the present only, and they leave earlier years alone.
One small step: Make a cup of tea and drink it sitting down.

Pockets of effort
One hard thing isn't a hard life. It's just one hard thing.
A certain kind of moment, a long call or a form with small print, asks for a second read and a little catching up.
That extra pass is how your attention keeps up where the ground is harder, and you have nothing to apologize for.
Your answers suggest signs of ADHD touch only a narrow corner of the picture. The strength is real: most of your days run without this load.
The cost is easy to miss. A small set of situations takes more out of you than anyone around you can see.
One sitting of answers cannot say whether this belongs to a busy stretch or is simply how you are built. A drawer that sticks only in damp weather is still a good drawer.
One small step: Put one everyday item where your hand will find it.

A mixed picture
Focus follows the setting. Yours moves with it.
A film holds you from the first scene to the last, yet the instructions for a new gadget slide right past.
Unevenness is how attention behaves when it follows interest and setting, so there is nothing to blame yourself for.
Signs of ADHD seem to sit in the middle of the picture: some of the five areas reach further than others, and much depends on the situation in front of you. It is a clear, ordinary picture.
What your attention does depends on the situation in front of you, in the bright stretches as much as the dim ones. When the pattern does reach you, it is tiring, and that counts.
Knowing which settings carry you and which wear you down is a real kind of self-knowledge.
One small step: Write one line on a scrap of paper about the setting where focus came easiest lately.

Leaning on workarounds
You are managing. It just isn't free.
You move things to a later slot and steer around a certain kind of task, leaning on small tricks that hold the day upright.
None of that is weakness. A workaround is what a sensible person builds when the usual route is heavy.
It looks like signs of ADHD reach across most of the picture and have begun to shape real choices. Life as a whole still holds, and the price is growing and starting to show.
Often this means every start and every switch takes a push, and the pushes add up. Dishes stack in a sink when each one takes effort to begin.
These answers cannot say whether the pattern comes from these five areas themselves or partly from something else in a demanding stretch of life. That stays an open question, and it is fine to leave it open.
One small step: Wash one plate and set it on the rack.

Shaping the day
You've been running to stay in place. That is exhausting.
Plans keep bending around it, and so do work and the conversations at home. You re-plan and start again.
Attention that slips and a mind that races are not moral failings, and they were never a verdict on your character.
Judging by your answers, signs of ADHD spread across the whole picture, with several areas at once reshaping routines, work or relationships.
Often this means attention is pulled by whatever is loudest right now instead of what you chose, the way a radio drifts to the nearest station.
Talking this over with your family doctor is an ordinary option, yours to take or leave, with no deadline. A family doctor hears about this regularly and knows how to work with it. These answers are one self-report, so only an assessment can say whether the picture comes from these areas or partly from another cause.
One small step: Find the phone number of a family doctor.

How this test works
Where the questions come from, what the scale rests on, and why the result is not a diagnosis.
Measures how noticeable self-reported ADHD signs are in current daily life across five areas: follow-through and attention, timeliness, impulsivity, restlessness, and sensitivity to distraction.
Methodology
What the result shows is how widely signs of attention trouble reach into your life at the moment, as you notice them yourself, in five everyday areas. Nothing here goes back to childhood, nothing checks other settings, and the result is neither a diagnosis nor the chance of one.
The questions were written for this page and cover follow-through and attention, keeping to time, impulsivity, restlessness and distractibility. The page stands next to the test named in its title, not inside it: the same ordinary territory, no shared material.
That test works differently. A licensed professional runs it as a computer exercise from their own supervised account, with sounds and images that interrupt on purpose, and the report splits into several separate scores after about fifteen minutes. None of that exists here: nothing timed, nothing that interrupts, no measure of response speed.
Computer attention tests as a class have been reviewed by independent researchers. Their verdict: accuracy alone was only just acceptable, weakest for impulsivity, and such tests fit best as one input into a broader assessment. A single unsupervised self-report deserves even more caution.
For what a proper assessment involves, see this overview from a national health institute; for where to turn, this guide from a public health information service.
This page is not a diagnostic tool and does not stand in for a professional. Whether ADHD is present is for a qualified specialist to decide after talking with you and going through your history.
Questions
Can I take the test from the title online?
Not on your own. Sitting it requires a professional who administers it through their own supervised access. This page is a separate self-report that anyone can open at any time, and it does not stand in for that test.
How accurate is the test named in the title?
The answer has two parts. The company behind it reports strong figures. Independent reviewers who looked at computer attention tests as a group were less impressed: accuracy on their own was only just acceptable, lowest for impulsivity, and they advised using such tests inside a wider assessment, never as the deciding piece.
Is this page the same as that test?
No. That one is a supervised computer exercise with built-in interruptions and several scores. This page is an original questionnaire about similar daily situations. It borrows nothing from that test: no content, no timing, no scoring, not even a shortened form of it.
Can this page tell me whether I have ADHD?
No. Only a qualified specialist can answer that, by talking with you and looking at your history; one test of any kind cannot. What this page can do is describe how far signs of attention difficulty reach into your days at the moment. A guide on where to turn is linked in the methodology section.
