What is the QbTest?

The QbTest is an objective testing system that simultaneously measures attention, impulsivity and motor activity, key indicators in helping formulate a diagnosis of ADHD. The results obtained by the test may be used to help form a better understanding of any cognitive and behavioural difficulties. The QbTest helps cut through ambiguous information and strip away human error. 

The QbTest is not a diagnosis, it is a sophisticated screening tool which is used to support a diagnosis. Only a doctor can diagnose. The QbTest is recognised by health professionals and is used to give the consultants greater confidence when diagnosing as it is very accurate. 

What do I do?

Types of QbTest Available

There are two versions of the QbTest, tailored to different age groups:

15-Minute Test
Designed for children aged 6 to 12, this test presents two symbols on the screen one at a time. These symbols are either a plain circle or a circle with a cross in the centre. The task is to click only when the plain circle appears and not when the circle with a cross appears. The participant is required to respond approximately 50% of the time. The test is fast-paced and uses a randomised sequence to maintain attention and challenge impulsivity.

20-Minute Test
Designed for individuals aged 12 to 60, this version involves four symbols shown one at a time: a red square, a red circle, a blue square, and a blue circle. The task is to click only when the exact same shape and colour is repeated consecutively. The participant is expected to click around 25% of the time. This version is also randomised and designed to maintain a quick and engaging pace.
