Reliably Diagnose ADD in Adolescents and Adults Until recently, it was believed that Attention Deficit Disorder was a childhood affliction and that the symptoms gradually disappeared with maturation. However, newer studies suggest that 30-70% of children with ADD continue to have symptoms as adults and that the disorder affects 2-5 million adults (CHADD, 1995). The ACTeRS Self-Report was designed to provide a reliable diagnostic measure of ADD in adolescents and adults.

Applications and Features

The test items define three scales: Attention (A), Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (H), and Social Adjustment (S). There are 35 self-report statements to which the examinee responds on a five-point scale. There's no time limit, but most people finish in 10-15 minutes.

Available for adolescents and adults, the norms for the ACTeRS Self-Report are based on more than 1000 cases. Differences between male and female score patterns are insignificant and reliability coefficients average .88.

Self-administered and self-scored, the test uses color coding to reduce the chance of scoring errors. A simple rubric provides percentile equivalents of raw scores on the scoring key, or T-score equivalents are available in the Technical Manual.
