Attention & Impulsivity Self-Assessment

Welcome to our self-assessment, inspired by the areas measured by the Conners Continuous Performance Test (CPT). While the CPT is a professional, computer-based test that measures your reactions to stimuli, this questionnaire helps you reflect on your own experiences with attention, focus, and impulsivity in daily life. This assessment is suitable for individuals aged 6 years and above.

Please read each statement carefully and select the option that best describes you or the person being assessed. There are no right or wrong answers, just honest reflections of typical behaviors.

Important Note: This is a self-assessment questionnaire for informational purposes only. It is NOT an official or diagnostic version of the Conners CPT or any other clinical assessment. It cannot diagnose ADHD or any other medical condition. For a professional evaluation and diagnosis, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.

Your Attention & Impulsivity Self-Assessment Results

Thank you for completing the assessment. Your score is: 0 out of 72.

Here's a detailed analysis based on your responses:

Analysis of Your Score:

General Interpretations:

Questions 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 23: These questions relate to aspects of inattention and difficulty with focus and organization. Higher scores in these areas may suggest challenges with sustained attention, selective attention, and executive functions like planning and task management.
Questions 3, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 24: These questions relate to aspects of hyperactivity and impulsivity. Higher scores in these areas may indicate difficulty with self-control, restlessness, and acting without foresight.

Important Considerations:

Context Matters: Your experiences with attention and impulsivity can vary greatly depending on the environment, the nature of the task, and your personal interest in it.
Temporary Factors: Stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, or other temporary factors can significantly impact your attention and impulsivity. Consider if your responses are reflective of your typical state or a temporary period.
Strengths: This assessment focuses on challenges. Remember to also acknowledge your strengths and areas where you excel in focus and self-control.

Next Steps: If your results suggest significant challenges in attention and impulsivity that impact your daily life, we strongly recommend discussing these concerns with a **qualified healthcare professional**. They can conduct a thorough evaluation, rule out other potential causes, and discuss appropriate strategies or interventions if needed.
