Executive Functioning

(ESQ-R)

Animacao HTML

It takes a lot for us to reflect and explore aspects of ourselves. We applaud your curiosity and courage. 

Who is this screener for?

The ESQR is designed for adults 18+ and can help determine if ADHD support or treatment may benefit you and/or how to proceed regarding an evaluation or diagnosis. It is one of several different ADHD screeners. This screener can be taken to provide comprehensive information on executive functioning. Click here to learn more about ADHD.

How to complete the screener:

Carefully read each question and choose an answer that you feel is the best fit for yourself. This screener has 25 multiple-choice questions. Once you’ve answered all questions, click Results to see more information. You will see 5 categories with a score for each category, and then a total score. Below your score, you will find more information regarding your total score and suggestions for next steps.

The results of this screener are by no means an indicator of who you are or the complete picture; it is simply a first step in exploring.

Your results are private unless you choose to share them. We will not be gathering your information or results; you can download your report after you click Results. If you decide to meet with a therapist, psychologist, or coach, these results can be helpful to share with your clinician as they can help you on your journey.

To download your report, click Download at the bottom of this page. You can then open and save the results onto your computer.
