Do you have ADHD? Here’s a simple test to see if you might have it. P. S. I’m not a doctor.

- If you think you might have ADHD, be sure to get an official diagnosis from a trained physician or therapist. Also, you might consider meditation (with a T) which I've been using for decades to manage my ADHD. More details on how to meditate on this blog post: unspokenrules....
The real ADHD test is if you clicked on the comments before the short was over 😅
Funny!
Bahaha! Guilty as charged m'lud!
I did 😂
Yep
Damn I came to comment this, hats off to you sir
“Keep you focus on the green dot”
Glances at the red dot
“Oh shi-“
“I never looked”
Funny. I believe you're saying that you did look at the red dot, but that you're pretending that you didn't, right @Idk?
Yes that’s what it means
@@LittlebrainEditz Got it. Thanks!
before i even reached the test bit, i read this and now this test is useless for me ;-;
Oh I was paying attention and multi tasking so by the time the video ended I gave up 🤦♂️
As soon as I saw the red dot in my peripheral I focused even harder on the green dot.
Same
Same
Yesssss
Keep in mind, ADHD people often have Hyperfocus
Hi Daniele, you're correct. And I'm a good example of that -- I hyperfocus on things that interest me. The good news is that most of my interests are healthy, so it's a net positive. How about you? Do you hyperfocus, too?
It’s normal for people to have a but maybe on one specific thing like watching the phone or playing a board game and up to that for hours and then the like snap out of it or so people just have a designated Hocus Pocus interview with ADHD. Normally we do not get hyper focused with watching videos like this maybe watching UA-cam shorts for certain videos.
@@TayTay_and_billie_4Lifer All very interesting perspectives and thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
When it's interesting. But I dont care for the wavelength of light colour. No interest at all (runs business based on the invention of new colours 😂)
Yes, when it’s interesting, not when he fools us quicly like that😂
i looked at the green dot, the couch, the house, his face, then the red dot 💀💀💀
😀I would suggest that might be a sign that you have ADD or ADHD, LOL.
😂😂😂 man me too
SAME BAHAHAHA
I was also glancing around the screen before the red dot was introduced!
Same
When the red dot appeared I glanced at it and was like “wha-?” and immediately realised what the test is trying to do and went “oh. Oh shit” and glanced back to the green dot but then somehow I couldn’t resist glancing at the red dot again so I just glanced at the two dots back and forth until he put both papers down 💀 well shit
LOL. I know how you feel, Brooklyn Chen. I struggle with ADD, too.
What dot? Time mark please. But yes I'm as far deviation from the norm as poss by 3 docs.
Same
same, except i soft- focused on both the red and green dot simultaneously before i went "oh shit i just did all this without even being cognisant of it while it was happening :( "
However, I know i got ADHD and have a diagnosis lolol
I.DID.EXACTLY.THE.SAME.💀
"Focus of the green dot" *red dot appears glances at it*
Me:"Uuuuummmm ma bad"
Yeah, I know how you feel.
I swear, it was instant with me! Now I don't know if that means I have adhd but I was kind of embarrassed at how fast that was! 🤦🏽♀️😂
Nope. I’m so used to being like “focus focus focus” that it was too soon for me to lose focus lmao
Very cool. I wish I had that talent. Where did you learn to focus so well? School? Work? Or were you always that way?
@@AskJamieTurner school I think. Bc we will be talking about stuff that’s important and I’ve always had good grades bc of parental pressure and myself pressing me. But I’m genuinely interested. I do lose focus. Like a lot! It just takes me a little longer than a few seconds. Usually it takes like 5 mins. And then I won’t realize I’ve zoned out until I am aware that it happened and then I’m like “okay focus focus” but I’m so focused on staying focused, sometimes, that I’ll lose focus lol
@@skittlepuff It sounds as though it is a system that works for you. Congratulations! I'm going to do more videos about how to focus in the future. Stay tuned.
Exactly the same for me, but I think my ability to focus on a small point like that comes from video games. Waiting for someone to come around a corner and all that.
"Put 100% of your focus on the red dot."
Me: puts 100% of my focus into getting ready to spot the guy in the gorilla suit who's about to walk behind him
Definitely very ADHD to be told to focus on the green dot and immediately process it as “focus on the red dot”😂
The fact that you knew that may be an indicator as well. 😂
Dude same lmfao
I really don’t think this is an indication of having ADHD. Realistically you’ve given someone instructions to focus on the green dot, but you don’t give them the time to process the information which leads to people only realizing after they’ve looked at the red dot what they were told to do. ADHD and learning disabilities like dyslexia and audio processing issues go hand in hand sadly 🙇♂️. I also think this isn’t a fair “quiz” because it leaves out a lot of the complexities that ADHD actually has. This isn’t to say this is a bad video, just misleading and lacking any real evidence that this is a justified quiz to see if you have ADHD-like tendencies.
Thanks for your input. Much appreciated. As said, there's no way to tell if you have ADHD until you're tested by a trained physician. I appreciate your comment, though.
Me who was looking in the comments when the dots were there😮😬
LOL. That's so funny, Avery. I'm guilty of the same thing sometimes. Ugh!
Ay the begging I got detracted and wasn't even looking at my phone. I was watching a video on a homescapes level and impulsivly decided I wanted to try this challenge again.
@@Stolasupremecy Sounds good, David!
Not me looking at the sofa instead of listening 😂😂😂
Funny because it's human nature to look out for all visual information even under strict instructions 😂
That's a very good point!
I don't know how effective this test is with the screen right in front of us, but having your attention over react or sort of jump at different stimuli such as sounds or things barely in our periphery is a hall mark of adhd.
Inability to maintain internal focus and over reaction or over stimulation from things outside. Hyper arousal is a name for it.
Adhd folks also have anticipatory problems. So they are over actively looking at things (markedly higher ammount of little eye movements that are subtle but there) and this is why, when we're told to do something, we jump the gun and say "oh they must mean..." and we misinterpret the instruction. Theres a premature takeoff at the starting line in a lot of areas.
There's also commonly an overly active internal monologue. Folks without adhd self evaluate and reflect, pondering on certain things - but this is while not performing a task. When they need to concentrate, another zone in their brain becomes more active and the evaluative zone quiets down and becomes less active. It's reciprocative and adapts freely.
Adhd people don't become as focused and the evaluative zone has been shown not to become less active.
Thanks for. your comments and insights, @@TurtleRocker12
Didn't glance it , but i saw the red dot through my peripheral vision. Is it concerning?
No, nothing to be concerned about there. That's fine. It's only when you glance at it.
Oh no. I think that might me aids. I’m so sorry
Peripheral vision is important to have. If you didn't see it in your peripheral vision, that would be concerning.
@@hugofelpLMAOOO
Same lol. Adhd, autistic, and c-ptsd here. I taught myself how to beat tests years ago to prove to myself that I wasn't lazy or stupid, so between that and my natural paranoia and awareness of my surroundings that mostly came from the c-ptsd, my peripheral vision quickly picked up on the red dot but my test-beating trained brain stuck to the green dot. I think my damaged psyche learned to associate failure with personal deficiency, took years of therapy to unlearn. And the combo of adhd and autism is it's own nightmare, and throwing in the c-ptsd completes my trifecta of wtf. Oh the joy of being considered "high functioning"... it's a living nightmare and my own private hell...🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😒😒😒
This isn't an indicator of ADHD, it's an indicator of dismissal of authority
That's an interesting perspective. Thanks for your opinion.
@@AskJamieTurner Well it could be both to be fair.
@@jasonsoliva6678 Yes, I agree. It could be both, for sure.
Which is also an indicator of ADHD from what I've read. :)
*No. That is not fair. I just started thinking about gay sex while he was talking about it at the beginning and wasn't paying COMPLETE attention. I wss listening to him, though... it's just that I looked at the red dot when it came up. I've also been diagnosed with ADHD and am currently not on medication. Is thinking about gay sex illegal? Am I going to DIE for thinking about gay sex? Am I going to STARVE for thinking about gay sex? NO! Some people just HAPPEN to be gay and others just HAPPEN to be straight. That doesn't mean that I don't respect authority. That just means that my mind naturally gravitates towards pleasurable experiences without me even deliberately or consciously doing it. Is it ILLEGAL to NOT be a masochist? Am I going to SUFFER if I'm not a masochist? Am I going to DIE if I'm not a masochist? No! Some people are born addicted to pain and some people are born addicted to pleasure - that doesn't mean that the ones addicted to pleasure enjoy dismissing authority. You also can't blindly OBEY authority - we were TAUGHT ABOUT THIS BY AUTHORITY (yes, our TEACHERS - the ones who told us to walk in a single file) IN GRADE SCHOOL. This is why we have the 2nd Amendment: so that when authority starts abusing power, you have every right to fight back. Also, that's why there's citizens arrest because citizens are given authority in the United States - especially when they become adults. Dismissal of authority is like when you're strictly told that you can't break into someone's home and you STILL do it. Not something as FRIVOLOUS as looking at a red dot when it comes up. Seriously? People that looked at the red dot DON'T have ADHD, but are full-blown psychotic felons that think that they're above the law? A DOT defines whether someone is EVIL or not? I'm EVIL for thinking about gay sex? I guess that's why he called what you said an "opinion" and not concrete fact. Let me have ADHD (since i have it) and let me take the medications my doctor prescribes to me in PEACE without being called a menace to society and a dismisser of authority. SUCKING DICK doesn't make me a MENACE to society. Good bye.*
1000 per cent of humans glance to the red dot, what a misleading test
I didn't look at the red dot but i could clearly see both dots anyway. So i was able to focus on the green dot while still seeing the red dot and knowing exactly what he was doing with the red dot. I think a better test might be if the red dot was in your peripheral vision instead of it being really easy to see both at the same time
Although in fairness i think looking at someone moving in your peripheral vision might just be an indication that you have swlf preservation instincts lol
I just felt like I had to take a peek at the red dot lol
I know, right? It's hard not to look.
I locked at the red dot waiting for him to say something 💀
Exactly what I thought, I saw red dot because he may ask, " what else did you notice"?
Same I immediately glanced at the red one 😂
Ok this should be easy.
*shows the green dot*
Alright..
*shows the red dot*
*starts looking at them back and forward till he puts them down because i forgot what i was supposed to do*
-OOP...
YOU HAVE ADHD????
Classic ADHD right there speaking from experience lol
@@onlyusernameleft2Atleast it's classic
I had to rewatch since I got bored and looked at the comments and missed the test 😭
Funny. Glad you enjoyed it.
Ye, this is what I did. I mean, I did the test first time around, but the intro was so long that I knew what the test was before he even started holding up the cards.
You are not alone. ♡
my peripheral vision: don't look but the other one is red.
Yeah I definitely looked at the red dot okay y'all I'm back and I watched this about 200 more times and um I still looked at the red dot uhhhhhhh 😅
I was literally like “ooh a red dot”
SAME
I watched it two times and both times I was like ooooh red dot
Same
I can’t even try to laser focus on the green dot on a 3rd attempt. I still stare at the red. I’m paying for an assessment.
The words "100% focus on the green dot" gave me extreme anxiety that could only be relieved by focusing on everything BUT the green dot.
I'm in the "Glanced at the Green dot but looked away-" group.
The nice green painting on the other side beckoned me to look at them, then I went back to the dot, then the window and the green leaves and the green dot then the red then back to the green .
No surprises, there I have ADHD and am medicated xD
Will actually I was born with adhd 😢 now still have it and I can’t speak people I could focused playing game sooo if I take medicine i get better at studying and I get A in test soo ya
Him:look at the green dot
*puts up the red dot*
Me: stares into the red dots soul :)
Lots of folks look at the red dot, LOL.
Lol
😭 This was me 💯💯😩
@@reinajalana I think a lot of us can relate.
YALL I JUST GOT DIAGNOSED WITH ADD 😂😂😂 IRL THOUGH AND WHEN I WROTE THE COMMENT I DIDNT HAVE ITTTT😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me: *FOR SURE doesn’t have adhd*
Red dot: *appears*
Me: the fuck is that? *looks*
He: If you focused on the red dot..
Me: 💀
i looked without looking
LOL. Funny. I suspect a lot of people had the same experience.
They are too close almost like two lights 🚥 facing you inside a dark tunnel you will end up looking at the other light but you said if you glanced. So I may be wrong.
I really wanted to know if I had ADHD thanks for the test
Glad it was helpful to you. Be sure to get tested by a professional before coming to any final conclusions, but I'm glad this was helpful.
This is kind of stupid test I think it is naturally to looks at something that just appear out of nowhere. It is like unconscious thing/lizard brain stuff.
My brain told my eyes to not look at the red dot but my eyes did it anyway 😂😭
That happens to a lot of us!
"Keep your focus on the green dot"
Pull up knife 🔪
Wait what
the way I glanced at the red dot several times and then pretended I didnt😭😭
I hear ya!
I glanced at the right dot, although I do need glasses so, I don’t really know if I have it.
I was trying not to look at it but my eyes were twitching so I had to look at the red dot 😭
You're in good company. A lot of us did the same thing!
whyy do u have to pull out another card when u say focus on the green dot!!! caught my attention immediately
What if u saw both?
If you saw both, that means you might have ADD or ADHD. It's not a definitive test, but it could be an indication. Question: Do you struggle to maintain focus the way I do sometimes?
@@AskJamieTurner I saw both but I stay focus on the green dot
@@RealZunnan That's awesome. You did better than most people. Congratulations!
I didn't look at the red dot but noticed it and was urged to look but the test was already over😂 so idk if i may have adhd😂
Thank you sir I don't have adhd
Glad it was helpful to you. You're lucky! I've had it all my life ... but I've found ways to manage it.
Man, I saw looked at the red one😨
Now I saw the symptoms and I have all of them😱
What should I do?
@@max_to_the_max Hi Max. Good question. The first step would be to get an official diagnosis. Also, you might want to try meditation (with a T), which I've been using for 45 years to manage my ADHD. You can read my blog post here: unspokenrules.live/mindset/meditation-for-executives/
@@max_to_the_max My opinion is self realization self awareness and figure out what works for you.
me thinking, "can he see me through the camara... oh look a red dot... oh shi-"
Literally every ADHD test I do..... "Highly likely to have ADHD" 😂😂😂
LOL. Me, too. Hang in there, Nicole. Have you ever tried meditation (with a t) to manage your ADHD? I started doing it a while back and was amazed by the results.
green dot , couch,his face,the red dot yay i might have adhd
Me: ok green dot
Red dot: *exists*
My eyes: RED DOT
My brain: omg I looked I must have ADHD... What if I wanted to look? What if I just want to be quirky GOD I'm such an attention seeker... But it would explain everything. Why can't I just try harder like my brother.
Oh boy. I love my mind
You're like many of us are. :-)
Even the second time I watched I couldn’t do it 😭
This tests peripheral vision, not ADHD. 😒
I thought this was gonna ask how many times did you watch this video because you kept zoning out, or got distracted whist trying to focus on what I was saying or how many conversations are you having right now 😂😂😂😂
That's funny! Thanks for stopping by.
Currently waiting for my assessment, clicked on this out of curiosity. I couldnt not glance at the red dot no matter how hard i try to focus on the green.
Glad to see you're getting assessed by a professional. That's a great starting point.
Is getting easily triggered and mad about small things also a sign of adhd. And where and how can i get professionally diagnosed
Hi Riki. Yes, getting easily triggered can be a sign of ADHD. Be sure to get an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist for an official diagnosis. I'm ADHD, too. Hang in there! I've used meditation (with a T) to help manage my symptoms. I've written a short blog post on how to use meditation to control ADHD. Good luck! unspokenrules.live/mindset/meditation-for-executives/
Looking at the green dot 100% oh wait is this red *looking at it* focusing on the green again *making sure * looking back again
It's tough to stay focused, right? Have you ever used meditation to manage ADD or ADHD? I meditate twice a day and it's worked for me. How about you?
Ok why was I thinking what green+red=..
idk why but i glanced in the middle of the dots
I glanced at the buttons on his shirt im not kidding then i glanced at the red dot💀
Interesting!
I was like "Okay, look at the green dot" and then you brought out red dot and i looked at it and thought to myself "Whats with the red dot" and then looked at you and back to red dot.. And the I realized what you were proving. And i looked back to green.
I feel like i have ADHD, but maybe i'm just overthinking it...
@@OnePieceTheorist You won't know for sure until you get tested by a trained physician. I've never been tested, but I'm 100% certain I have it. I've been using meditation to manage it. If you'd like to learn more about how to meditate to manage ADHD, you can read my blog post here: unspokenrules.live/mindset/meditation-for-executives/
I just looked in the middle😭😭
Bro when you put up the red dot I fr STARED not even glanced😭
bro you said the green dot i looked at it the i just stared at the red dot lol
Funny!
Oh also the test works really well
Well shit! I tried so hard too
I’d really like to see the rest of that painting on the wall please. And maybe the view from the room and the garden please. Actually can you do a tour of your house and garden. It looks so nice.
Can you help me and tell if i have ADHD? Signs:
Constantly picking on skin
Easily distracted
Poor sleeping habit
Not finshing tasks
pls reply i don't know what to do!
Keep your focus on the green dot.... Immediately attention goes to the tree in the background.
I have ADHD and my eyes were farting back and forth between the red and green dot.
Also some of my friends did this and like they were freaking out if they had ADHD and saying all kinds of stuff like I know nothing of ADHD while I’m tested multiple time is different countries and a failed the test meaning I have ADHD.
Me at the start of the short:
*looks at the comments instead of focusing on the actual video*
Me: Wait what was he saying-WAIT WHY ARE THERE TWO DOTS ON THE SCREEN-
*me focusing on the subtitles*
"focus on the green dot"
*Looks back and forth on the subtitle and green dot*
" *Pulls out a card with a red dot* "
*Somehow focusing on all three*
"If you glanced at the red dot, there's a possibility you have ADHD"
*Having no idea what i was doing again*
Way too much introduction. As the UA-cam Short wore on and the test hadn't yet started, I concluded your test would be too brief to be anything but a ruse, and I became annoyed that I'd wasted nearly a minute on what I should have known up front wasn't really useful. Then it reached the end with no gotcha and I was disappointed it wasn't even entertaining. This comment is even less useful but having come this far I'm not just going to discard it for reasons which should be obvious.
this was me:
instructions: 100% focus on the green dot.
a red dot appears, completely forgot the instructions,
and had to be reminded. ''oh yeah, the green dot...blast!''
I was looking at his beautiful cheekbone structure and bay windows as I had already memorized the dot circumference😢
i was staring at the green dot like “*scoff* easy.” then he pulled out the red dot and im like “OOOO-“ then he said “if you glanced at the red dot you might have ADHD-“ and im sat there like “f u c k”
I have the ability to look at something without moving my eyes of something else which I just did because I’m just curious WHAT HE PUT THERE WHILE WE HAD TO FOCUS ON THE GREEN DOT
Curious people would look ADHD or not 😂
That's like saying don't look.behind your back then you hear your partner giggling behind your back 😅
I think I might have adhd
I glanced at the dot, the background, my hand I was fidgeting with, my water, my panting and my fan.
My brain saw the other notecard and my favorite color was red and my first thought was like a 3 year old-
“RED!”
So... I was "focusing" on the green dot while all my actual focus was keeping my eyes centered on the green dot while actually thinking about what was in my peripheral vision.
Bro I started to watch this, checked the comments, got distracted and tuned him out, then I juggled between both dots and rewatched this…
My insides were literally screaming :
THE RED DOT! THERE'S A RED DOT! WHY'S NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE RED DOT?!
So i actually do have adhd and i may have glanced to the red dot….
He put green dot up says to look at it the second he put red dot up i did a quick glance from red dot back to green dot
I focused on the green dot just because I exactly knew that you were showing off the red dot to trick me for testing. What does that make me now?
Not me stimming right when this video played then half way saying "what?" Then replaying it just to look away from my phone and into my dark room. 🙃
My ADHD has determined that there was way to much setup before any actual information was given. Needed to open comments to pass the seconds.
"Focus on the green dot"
*Still watching face*
- sees weird spot in soul patch and wonders if there's no hair or something stuck in his facial hair -
*looks at red dot*
*looks back at weird patch on facial hair*
"My name is..."
Had to rewind to figure out what actually happened in the video.
Well, shit...
I have known that I have ADHD for most of my life. My problem is that I only recently really learned what that actually means.
I don't disagree
However,
Glancing @ the red dot can also be situational awareness
Yes, get it checked out to be sure..
I was looking at the green dot and was like "i dont get it" and the red dot came in and i looked at it and look back the green and realized "dang it"
I focussed on the green dot :D and I do have adhd though
Red is a common warning system used by animals in the wild. Everyone should be looking at the red when it ahows up in their peripheral vision, as a caution response. Would be better to switch the dots.
Right when the red dog comes glances at it, quickly and pause’s the video “ oh, mother*******” puts down the phone and looks at her self in the mirror” I didn’t do that I don’t have ADHD and I don’t want to have ADHD”
Another huge indicator of HDHD is diagnosing everyone with ADHD. I know because I have ADHD. I went to the comments 1 second into video. Comment above lol.
Something called peripheral vision can make u see stuff out of side of your eyes. Yes, ADHD can make u hyperfocused, yet, so can many other disorders. Also not therapist or doc. My 2 cents.
Most people looked at both dots. That's human. We are nosey and curious as to what you might be hiding, because it might be a delicious treat, or a dangerous predator. That does not a person with ADHD make. It's similar to telling someone not to think of a pink elephant.
ADHD here, sorry, 4-5 seconds is too short to give anyone an indication of anything. Before you put the card up, I noticed all the detail in the furniture, the partial painting and the window structure behind you, then looked at your green dot as instructed and saw the red dot in my peripheral vision (no need to look) and it was over. Too short to determine ability to focus.
Funny. I know I have ADHD (diagnosed) ... But Watching your video I was thinking "don't look at the red dot". Then I looked at the red dot. :)
"Look at the green dot and maintain focus"
*Oh, look, red couch. Right green dot. Hey, what's card is coming up. Green dot, right. Oh, a red dot.*
Him: focus on green dot
Me: k
*drops a red dot into the mix*
My brain: red green red green 🎉 red has 3 letters green has 5. Red n green make yuck brown mix. Short vid. What he say????
i find it funny that before the video even started i was looking at everything but the dude and was not listening to a word he was saying but instead questioning my entire existance until i saw a colourful dot and i verbally said "green dot" then red dot came up and i was like "OO ANOTHER DOT" i had to rewatch it before i realised what it was actually for 😭
Lol I got so bored with the video I scrolled halfway through and came back to comment-
Gotta love ADHD 🤦♀️
(Yes I am diagnosed)
Bro, all these videos I can relate to but I’m just like I thought I was just being dramatic but the video I needed bro I literally was looking at the green that he put the red dog up and I look at it real quick I didn’t think I had a HT mean I did but I wasn’t sure nobody believe me I know why pretty sure I do why me😢😢😢😢
This is not a good test for ADHD. This is what causes everyone to think they have ADHD which really undermines the people who do suffer with it. The reality is most people will look at something new coming into view on a narrow screen, regardless of whether they have ADHD or not. Real ADHD is a lot more complicated than. For example when the video host says 3 times back to back that he’s not a doctor but this is a test, repeating almost the exact same thing the exact same way, that’s a much stronger signal of ADHD. Distraction is definitely a major factor but this test will catch even neurotypical people. There are better ways to test distraction.
Hi @JAlexanderCurtis Thanks for your input. You make some good points about it not being a perfect test for ADHD (which is why I mention that the best way to tell if you have ADHD is to get an official diagnosis from a trained physician or therapist). All that said, I appreciate your thoughtful comment. Cheers, Jamie
bruh the milisecond he brings up the second peice of paper I instantly go right to it and go "Oooo whats that??" Then He says if you look at the red dot im like DANG IT!
