How accurate is the adhd quiz on this site?

Self-explanatory. I'm surprised it did not ask if i daydream a lot. 90% of the time i lose focus it's because i started daydreaming. I also have a pretty bad short-term memory


Yes, i know quizzes aren't gonna be as accurate as, for example, going to a psychiatrist, but i'd like to know if i'm getting tested for the right thing before spending money to do that. Are there any other disorders with similar symptoms?

IMO particularly with adhd- all quizes and self tests are crap and a doctor is best

Where can i find the tests?

The tests might be interesting and possibly help confirm suspicions you have, but only a doctor can accurately diagnose a patient. You asked about similar symptoms. That is part of the problem, many symptoms are the same for multiple mental health issues.
