Hyperactivity and Impulsivity test: what it measures and how to interpret your score

In brief : This test specifically targets the hyperactive and impulsive dimensions of functioning, often present in ADHD but which can also manifest independently.

This test specifically targets the hyperactive and impulsive dimensions of functioning, often present in ADHD but which can also manifest independently. It explores three axes: motor restlessness (difficulty remaining still, internal tension), verbal impulsivity (tendency to interrupt, to speak without thinking) and need for stimulation (constant search for novelty and excitement). This questionnaire will help you better understand your energy and behavioral profile, and identify situations where these traits may become problematic.

What the test measures

• Level of physical agitation, difficulty remaining still, involuntary movements and internal bodily tension.
• Tendency to interrupt, to speak without thinking, to dominate conversations and to respond hastily.
• Constant search for novelty, intolerance of boredom, need for excitement and risk-taking to maintain arousal.

How to interpret your score

Your result reads as an intensity, not a diagnosis:

• Low level of hyperactivity-impulsivity : Your results suggest a normal level of activity and impulse control. You do not present significant difficulties in these areas.
• Moderate level of hyperactivity-impulsivity : You present moderate hyperactive-impulsive traits that deserve attention. Certain situations may be more difficult to manage.
• High level of hyperactivity-impulsivity : Your hyperactive-impulsive traits are significant and probably impact your social and professional life.
• Very high level of hyperactivity-impulsivity : Your results indicate very pronounced hyperactivity-impulsivity requiring professional management.
