NO “test” has ever been validated in the determination of ADD/ADHD.
"The reason why you have been unable to obtain any articles or studies presenting clear and confirming evidence of a physical or chemical abnormality associated with ADHD is that there is none". Lawrence Diller, M.D. of the University of California, San Francisco.

There are other rating scales, surveys, questionnaires, and checklists that are being marketed as “tests” or “indicators” of ADHD that are not listed individually on this site. This site specifically lists the most popularly used “testing” methods. All other "testing" methods not listed, could similarly be pulled apart in much the same way that those listed are. What a person needs to always remember, again and again, is that NO “test” has ever been validated in the determination of ADD/ADHD.
