Viral test claims to tell you if you have ADHD and it takes just seconds

A test that claims to be able to determine whether or not you have ADHD has gone viral on the social media platform TikTok.

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood and is usually first diagnosed during this period and often lasts into adulthood.

People with ADHD may have trouble paying attention and controlling impulsive behaviours and can be overactive, according to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

While it is normal for children to have trouble focusing and behaving at one time or another, those with ADHD do not grow out of these behaviours.

The symptoms often continue into later life and can be severe, causing difficulty at school, at home and with friends.

But one content creator has claimed that taking part in a simple test could help determine whether or not you have ADHD.

Taking to TikTok, cloutatlas said: "Wait. Here's a test to see if you have ADHD.

"Let's find out."

Showing a video image of one green dot surrounded by a triangle of three separate green dots, he said: "Start by focussing on the green flashing light in the centre.

"The longer you stay focussed, the surrounding dots will start to vanish, but as soon as you let your eyes wander a little, the dots will start to reset itself.

"If you can only let one or two of the dots vanish. Then you find it hard to focus and are easily distracted. But if you can make them all vanish, you have a normal attention span.

"Only one per cent of the planet can make all the dots vanish for more than five seconds."

People were blown away by the results as the more they focussed, the quicker the dots disappeared.

They said: "All of the dots vanished for me when I was focused on the geeen dot-".

The creator replied: "That's awesome!!! For how long though!???"

A second person added: "I guess I'm in those 1%".

As the video maker replied: "That's great!"

However, others were left worried after they failed to make any of the dots vanish.

They said: "I couldn't get any to vanish, do they really vanish?"

To which the creator replied: "Yes!!! you just have to really focus on the Center!"

daydreaming a lot
forgetfulness or losing things a lot
squirming or fidgeting
talking too much
making careless mistakes or taking unnecessary risks
