The Executive Function Skills Snapshot

The Executive Function Skills Snapshot

This is a free five-minute snapshot of how your executive function skills are working right now. It is useful whether you have ADHD, AuDHD, or any other neurodivergent condition. It covers five core areas: activation, focus, planning, adaptability, and self-management.

There are 15 questions in total. Rate each statement honestly based on how things are for you right now, not how you would like them to be.

Your results appear straight away when you finish. A copy is also sent to your email address.
