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.live/mindset/me...

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
@@LittlebrainRS 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 🤦♂️
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 TH-cam shorts for certain videos.
@@TayTay_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.
Not me looking at the sofa instead of listening 😂😂😂
"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
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...🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😒😒😒
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"?
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.*
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!
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
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
As soon as I saw the red dot in my peripheral I focused even harder on the green dot.
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.
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.
I just felt like I had to take a peek at the red dot lol
I know, right? It's hard not to look.
Not me staring at everything but the green dot 🤣💀
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. ♡
1000 per cent of humans glance to the red dot, what a misleading test
The way I looked directly at the red dot the second he started to lift it up is hilarious 🤣💀
Bro i glanced at the background💀
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!
the way I glanced at the red dot several times and then pretended I didnt😭😭
I hear ya!
my peripheral vision: don't look but the other one is red.
Bruh, I was on another tab by the time the green dot came up, and I had to replay the short again.
Diagnosed 1 year ago at 28.
For 26 years, I had no idea I had ADHD
I had the same experience -- I had it for years and was never diagnosed. But then I started using meditation (with a T) to manage it. My life changed as a result. Here's a blog post that explains how to meditate. Give it a try and see what happens for you. unspokenrules.live/mindset/meditation-for-executives/
@@AskJamieTurner Wow, thank you
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😂😂😂😂😂😂
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!
I glanced at the red dot-
“I think I have ADHD
I didn’t hear a word he said, and I didn’t just glance at the red dot, I full on death glared it 😂😂
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 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.
I went faster than light when the red dot appeared
idk why but i glanced in the middle of the dots
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.
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!
Heh.
I had trouble COMING BACK to the green dot when you brought the red one up.
I glanced at the dot, the background, my hand I was fidgeting with, my water, my panting and my fan.
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: 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. :-)
I knew what the test was and I still looked. I can’t control the impulse to check out something new.
If someone is talking to me and I am not interested in what they are saying, I can stare intently but not hear a word that was said. LOL
As someone with ADHD (on medication)I see this as a loss 😢
I didn’t just glance 😂😂😂I straight up looked at it and then I was like oh crap I’m supposed to be looking at the green one not the red one😂😂
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.
i totally forgot that we were supposed to focus on the green dot until he said it again
The moment when you are colorblind so you had to look at both of them to figure out which one is the green one
I started a conversation with my family about a tropical vacation. I walked out in the middle of the conversation to watch this video
I stayed focused but physically shook & felt relief when the cards went down & didn't have to resist looking at the red dot.
Me: glances at the red dot*
Him: if you glanced at the red dot u might have ADHD
The SECOND the red dot was visble i was like the car blinker switching between those two dots
I was waiting for something to pop out of the couch.
I have ADHD and noticed the red dot. Having self-control doesn't mean you do not have ADHD.
I glanced at the right dot, although I do need glasses so, I don’t really know if I have it.
I wasn’t even looking at the phone until you said look at the green dot. I was away in my own thoughts and still when I looked I glanced at it. It’s not even like I wanted to, I just sorta did
Me looking at the pictures after 1 second of looking at the green
I wasn’t even paying attention then I looked at both dots like OH SHIT 😂
Bro I started to watch this, checked the comments, got distracted and tuned him out, then I juggled between both dots and rewatched this…
I thought the next challenge was concentrating on both dots so i just went back and forth between them thinking i was one step ahead 😂
That's actually pretty funny. I can see how that would happen. LOL.
My brain: he has a very nice painting over there!
Also me: oh shoot! I missed the video! I need to rewatch it!
I was diagnosed when I was 5. I am now 37 and I still struggle with it every single day.
I was in my mid-30s when I started using meditation (with a T) to manage my ADHD. Give it a try. More details here: unspokenrules.live/mindset/meditation-for-executives/
Bro when you put up the red dot I fr STARED not even glanced😭
I stared at the red dot waiting for something else to happen … and then I realized the task was to focus on the green dot and I forgot once he started talking again fml😭😂😭
I stared at the green dot, but in the corner of my eye, I was "looking" at the red dot.
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😂
bro you said the green dot i looked at it the i just stared at the red dot lol
Funny!
I have guilty issue . My best friend is my little sister . I asked her why she was going into mental health. ...she said I love . Your my brother . But you have always been different.
Once he put up the red dot I glanced at it immediately before realizing what he said 🥲
I thought he was gonna say 'ok now look at the red dot' then i realised that i wasn't meant to look at it 💀
my brain be like green dot green dot oh red dot no green dot but red dot green dot
i glanced at the button on your shirt lol
i looked without looking
LOL. Funny. I suspect a lot of people had the same experience.
As soon as you pulled the red dot i forgot about the green dot
I wasn't paying much attention so when he showed the red dot i just stared at it after the green one lol
I looked at both dots and the comments at the same time while scratching my head 😂😂😂 does that count, i never looked away!
I glanced at the buttons on his shirt im not kidding then i glanced at the red dot💀
Interesting!
My insides were literally screaming :
THE RED DOT! THERE'S A RED DOT! WHY'S NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE RED DOT?!
i looked at the green dot for a second and then started playing with my hair
I wasn’t even able to fully focus on the green dot, i was conflicted between voice and the green dot, and then i looked at red dot as soon as it came on screen…
It can be a challenge, that's for sure. Hang in there.
whyy do u have to pull out another card when u say focus on the green dot!!! caught my attention immediately
I REALLY wanted to glance at that red dot 😂😂😂 I think I turned into a chameleon for a split second
But while you were talking for the first 15 seconds I looked at the comments so I knew the red dot was coming 🤣
Right as I saw the red dot I looked 😂
I was looking everywhere at first, then the green dot, then his collar, then the green dot, then back and forth between the green and red dot.
I was looking at the chairs outside hahaha
Nah because i didnt even notice the test was during, i was reading the comments😭😭
I didn't even hear him say to 100 % focus on the green dot.
I looked up at screen at last second ,cuz the knob fell off my car radio, and I tried to look right at green, but I did a quick glance at red. Very smart tactic, to show the cards before you said it. That's so important.
I just looked in the middle😭😭
"Doc, I glanced at the red dot"
"you did WHAT?!"
Nobody me looking at the pillows in the background
I mask ADHD so well that I used peripheral vision to check on that new card with the red dot.
I stared at the green dot but saw the red dot in my peripheral vision. Maybe if he hadn't put them so close together?
Glanzes at red dot. Proceeds to act like i dint just glanze at it
yes!
WHY DID I LAUGH WHEN HE PULLED YP THE RED DOT?💀
Up
The second the red dot showed up all focus reverted to that
Well, darn. That might be an indication you have ADHD, but you won't know for sure until a doctor checks you out.
Hyperfocus is being so indulge in a task for so long, being so obsessed, etc.. such as using it to learn something or do homework. Or do it all in one drop. I have sensory sensitvity, I cannot see rainbows, too much colors or I'll get distracted and do something creative. I hate it so much. I also get grumpy when I do.
I was abke to focus on the green dot but I still know I have Adhd.
Hang in there. It's a big challenge. Here's a link to a blog post about using meditation to manage ADHD. Good luck! unspokenrules.live/mindset/meditation-for-executives/
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!''
