Online Version (External Links)
I think both the paper and online versions would be useful to have linked. The paper version is useful for those looking to print out a clean copy for later or wider offline use, but the online version is better for immediate users as most people don't want to manually score an 18 question test if they don't have to.

The questions and scoring of the online version appear to be identical to the paper version, so I don't really see the benefit of forcing people to score this manually.

"Links to potentially revenue-generating web pages are not prohibited, even though the website owner might earn money through advertisements, sales, or (in the case of non-profit organizations) donations. Choose which pages to link based on the immediate benefit to Wikipedia readers that click on the link, not based on the organization's tax status or your guess at whether the website's owner might earn money from the link.

Psymed.info
Please refrain from adding the psymed.info link at. It is improperly scored and has been causing confusion for years.

The psychology-tools.com link at IS properly scored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manicjedi (talk • contribs) 09:12, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

The Lead and Background
I noticed that the abbreviation "ADHD" needs the full name, "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder". The lead section includes the abbreviation but not the full diagnosis. At the end of the lead section, there is one sentence that is isolated from the rest of the paragraph. It might be beneficial to incorporate that sentence into the paragraph. I also noticed one of the sentences in line three does not have a citation. I am concerned about this sentence because it has a statistic in it. HadleyJoAnn (talk) 01:17, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

As I evaluated this article, I noticed that it is not very helpful for someone trying to figure out if they or someone they know have ADHD as an adult. The questionnaire is incorrect and confusing so I don't think this is a useful resource for adult ADHD. 205.185.99.148 (talk) 05:00, 4 May 2021 (UTC)


 * The lead is concise which helps the reader to quickly understand the topic and article but there are a few things I would change. The topic at hand is the Adult ADHD Self Report Scale and as such the lead provides a link to the 'ADHD' wiki and has two sentences giving a brief overview. I believe it would be more appropriate to also add a link specifically to the Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder wiki article as it will provide more detailed information on ADHD in adults compared to a general overview. Additionally the first reference used in this article is of questionable validity upon being investigated. It is not a published article and is written in part by a child and adolescent specialist. It features some controversial information and statistics with no references for itself and is not presented in a professional manner. I highly suggest changing this reference which is cited multiple times to a more reputable one to increase the reliability of the wiki article and where applicable change the information garnered from it. The article was also published almost a decade ago which may indicate it being out of date. The lead could also have more information on the actual assessment scale (like how many questions it has or how it is administered), than explaining what ADHD is.

Just to add to this comment, in the lead, and throughout the article ADHD is mentioned, but never specifically defined. This could be confusing for people who are searching for information and don't know what ADHD stands for specifically. As mentioned above, it might be helpful to link to Attention Deficit Disorder instead of the link of ADHD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maybrookek (talk • contribs) 03:53, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
