​

The SAAST is a self-assessment tool designed to identify traits associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. It focuses on common challenges with attention, impulsivity, and executive functioning, offering insight into how these traits may be showing up in daily life.

While not a diagnostic tool, the SAAST can be a valuable starting point for understanding focus-related difficulties and determining whether further evaluation may be helpful.
 

21 Questions
 

Who It’s For:

Adults (18+) who are curious about whether ADHD traits may be affecting their ability to focus, stay organized, manage time, or follow through on tasks.
 

Duration:

Approximately 5–7 minutes
 

What It Measures:

This questionnaire screens for traits commonly associated with adult ADHD, including:

• Trouble focusing or maintaining attention

• Forgetfulness or losing track of tasks

• Impulsivity or quick decision-making without full reflection

• Disorganization or poor time management

• Difficulty following through on plans or responsibilities
   

Score Interpretation

Total Score Range: 0–63
 

• 0–9: Low or No ADHD Traits
  Your responses suggest you likely manage focus, planning, and impulse control within typical ranges. ADHD is unlikely to be a major factor in your day-to-day functioning.
   

• 10–24: Moderate ADHD Traits
  You may experience some difficulty with attention, organization, or impulsivity. While not necessarily impairing, these traits could benefit from supportive strategies, accommodations, or coaching.
   

• 25–63: High ADHD Traits
  Your responses reflect a high number of ADHD-related traits that may significantly impact your ability to manage daily tasks, maintain attention, or follow through. A formal evaluation may be helpful in identifying tailored support or treatment options.
   

Support for Focus, Organization, and Follow‑Through

If you scored high, you may find that difficulties with focus, time management, or impulsivity are interfering with your goals, relationships, or responsibilities. These patterns are valid—and with the right support, they can become more manageable.
 

Working with an ADHD-informed therapist or clinician can help you develop structure, tools, and insights that align with your strengths and challenges.
