The Cognitive Assessment for ADHD Patients (СAB-ADHD) is a professional test that uses tasks to quickly and accurately evaluate the presence of symptoms related to ADHD.
To diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD or ADD) a multidisciplinary assessment must be carried out. It is important to always perform an exhaustive differential diagnosis in order to discard other symptoms that may be better explained by a different mood disorder, learning disorder, or another condition.
This neuropsychological online ADHD test makes a complete cognitive screening and evaluates the risk index for ADHD by taking into account the user’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This ADHD assessment also determines the subtype of ADHD: Inattentive (ADD) or hyperactive-impulsive predominance (ADHD). This ADHD test is appropriate for kids 7+, teens, and adults. Anyone can easily use this online ADHD neuropsychological evaluation.
A thorough neuropsychological evaluation, clinical history and assessing different areas are still the most effective tools to detect and diagnose ADD or ADHD. Note that CogniFit does not directly offer a medical diagnosis of ADD/ADHD. We recommend using this ADHD test as a complementary tool and never as a replacement for a clinical diagnosis.
The results of this ADHD test will be available for download after completing the ADHD online test, which usually lasts about 30-40 minutes.
Phases of this ADHD assessment (CAB-ADHD)
Phases of this ADHD assessment (CAB-ADHD)
The complete cognitive assessment for the detection of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder consists of a questionnaire and a battery of neuropsychological tests. It takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
Children and adults at risk for having ADHD will respond to the questionnaire, which will evaluate the clinical symptoms of ADHD relevant to each age group. After this questionnaire, a series of games and tasks will be presented on the screen to assess cognitive function.

This cognitive assessment battery makes it possible to reliably detect the risk of ADD or ADHD in children 7 years and older and adults.
This neuropsychological evaluation for ADHD also identifies the risk index in adults at risk for ADHD. Many adults have suffered from attention and concentration problems their whole lives, as well as hyperactivity, difficulty following routines or rules, or impulsiveness that they can't control. However, even with these life-long difficulties, their attention disorder has never been diagnosed. While adults with ADD or ADHD may have an average, or even above average, IQ, it's possible that they were labeled disruptive or poor students in school due to the extra difficulties that they faced.
ADD and ADHD are associated with certain delays and some academic, professional, and social difficulties. This disorder affects behavior and is characterized by moderate to severe distraction, short attention spans, restlessness, emotional instability, and impulsive behaviors.
Difficulties when concentrating and paying attention to a stimulus.
Children or adults with ADD often have significant attention problems, but don't display hyperactivity. In fact, they could even be characterized by how their slowness and hypoactivity. Attention problems are caused by a poor-functioning and under-developed prefrontal cortex in the brain, which impedes the ability to correctly process information and start the neural mechanisms necessary to: understand an action, start it, avoid distractions, and complete it properly. People with ADD are often distracted by activities or sounds, don't pay attention to details, and make careless mistakes when doing a boring or difficult project (either for school, work, or socially).
Inability to listen to and follow a conversation
Children and adults with ADD generally have trouble processing or concentrating on stimuli, which is why it may seem like they're not paying attention when being spoken to. This is because they have trouble concentration on what the other person is saying and can make it difficult to pay attention in school, at work, or even with family. People with ADD have trouble following directions and completing tasks or projects.
Inappropriate behaviors and difficulty adapting to a social environment
The deficiencies in attentional skills and cognitive processes that people with ADD present make it difficult to properly understand social interactions and follow the rules or norms that regulate these interactions. This difficulty to follow established norms may, on occasion, cause inappropriate responses and difficulty adapting to the environment (at home, school, socially, etc.), which may lead them to feel rejected, causing low self-esteem, irritability, inappropriate classroom behavior, and poor academic or professional performance.
Often loses or misplaces things
It is common for people with ADD to misplace tools or other things that they need for their daily tasks or activities (games, toys, school supplies, etc.). They are easily distracted and forgetful. They may not remember where they put their jacket, their wallet, and may forget about meetings, projects, or other important events.
"Low motivation" to start or complete tasks
People with this disorder often have trouble organizing and finishing tasks and activities. This characteristic is related to the difficulty that children and adults with ADD have to focus on a determined action. Their "lack of motivation" isn't because the person is lazy or doesn't understand instructions, but rather that their brain has more trouble blocking external stimuli and paying attention to a single action.
Changes in mood and symptoms of anxiety and low self-esteem
These symptoms may develop as a consequence of the inability to adapt to certain situations and the rejection that they may cause. They may feel inferior or misunderstood by their classmates and teachers.
Difficulty with self-control and inability to inhibit a behavior
Children and adults with ADHD with the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation are guided by spontaneity. As such, they don't only have difficulty controlling their behavior, but also controlling their thoughts and emotions.
They are often impetuous and speak or act before thinking
They present problems seeing the consequences that their actions may have or analyze a situation carefully. This is why the things that they say or do may be inappropriate for a certain situation.
Poor planning when carrying out daily tasks
This impulsiveness can cause frustration. They may be frustrated by their experiences as they do not receive the desired or expected outcomes from certain situations.
Poor professional or academic performance
Difficulty adapting to the norms of a situation. Their performance is closely related to self-control, which causes them to abandon tasks that they find boring or that may not give them anything in return.
Difficulty relating to friends
Children and adults with ADHD with a predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation have trouble relating and adapting to the environment (academic, professional, familiar, etc.). Their impulsiveness and "impertinent" behavior may sometimes cause others to feel uncomfortable.
They are "poor losers"
Some people with this subtype may be prone to fighting, which is caused by the brain's difficulty to analyze a situation and foresee the outcome.
May participate in dangerous behaviors
Are often not conscious of the threat or risks that their actions may cause
Seem to be constantly moving
Hyperactivity is an excessive behavior motor over-activity that makes it difficult to stay still. These people need to move more often than their classmates and present inappropriate behaviors.
Unintentional movements and restless hands and feet
Unintentional movements like bouncing or constantly moving from place to place.
Difficulties starting a task
Even when they find it fun and entertaining
They often put themselves in other people's conversations or activities
They act inappropriately, saying or doing things that they shouldn't
They have little patience and aren't able to do quiet or attention-heavy tasks
Hyperactivity is more of a hyperactive behavior, which means that it is excessive, uncontrolled, and implies motor difficulties caused by neurological factors.
Shows combined signs of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsiveness
- Difficulties concentrating on a stimulis
- Changes in mood and symptoms of anxiety and low self-esteem
- Difficulty with self-control and inhibiting behaviors
- May behave inappropriately and talk or act before thinking
- Poor planning of daily activities

ADHD and its subtypes are characterized by a series of clinical signs and symptoms. These indicators can help understand the presence of this disorder, which is why the first part of the CAB-ADHD is a questionnaire with questions that have been adapted to the main diagnostic criteria and symptoms for each age range.
The questions in the questionnaire are similar to what you may find in a diagnostic manual, clinical questionnaire, or evaluation scales. However, they have been simplified to be understood by almost anyone.
It consists of a series of simple questions that should be completed by the teacher or professional responsible for the assessment. The questionnaire covers the following domains: Hyperactivity and impulsiveness (has trouble controlling movements and knowing how to inhibit actions), inattention (isn't able to pay attention for the time needed for an activity), problems with social relationships (frustration, low self-esteem), learning and development (history, difficulty learning academic concepts).
Consists of a series of simple questions that can be completed by a teacher or family member who is in charge of the assessment. The questionnaire covers the following domains: Hyperactivity and impulsiveness (feeling of restlessness or impatience), inattention (easily distracted, difficulty concentrating), poor social skills (lack of empathy and assertiveness), learning and development (academic difficulties, academic failure, etc.).
Consists of a series of simple questions that can be completed by the professional in charge of the assessment or by the individual him or herself. The questionnaire covers the following domains: Hyperactivity and impulsiveness (impatience, easily losing control), inattention (poor organization, difficulty finishing projects), academic history (obstacles in academics), difficulties in professional or social areas (poor adaptation).
