About the Executive Function Screen

Executive function is the manager layer: start, hold, switch, finish. It shows up in ADHD and in sleep debt, depression, and overload. This screen is about the manager layer, not mood. Short is eight items. Long adds work and home examples.

This free screening takes about 3 min and includes 16 questions. Results are instant and stay on your device unless you choose to share them. It is an informal tool for self-reflection — not a diagnosis, licence, or medical report.

Score bands used on this page: Manager layer mostly holds (0–16): Starting, switching, and finishing look typical on this set. Some friction (17–32): A few manager skills leak. Sleep and load can do this without ADHD. Frequent friction (33–48): Planning and starting are costing you. Pair this with the ADHD screen and the timed CPT if you want both views. High friction (49–64): The manager layer is failing often. A clinician can help you sort ADHD, sleep, mood, or overload.

How to use your results in real life

Read the matched band and any insights or recommendations on the results screen first. If a score suggests a concern (mood, attention, sleep, or safety), talk with a GP or qualified clinician — bring a screenshot of your results as a conversation starter.

For skill-style quizzes (memory, focus, reasoning), pair this questionnaire with the interactive brain games on this site: reaction time, digit span, Stroop, and the Full Brain Test give timed practice that questionnaires cannot.

Retake after meaningful change — better sleep, a new routine, or therapy — not every day. Frequent retests mostly measure mood-of-the-moment noise.

Accuracy and limitations

This screen is for education and self-reflection only. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace a clinician. If the result worries you, talk to a GP or specialist.

Self-report tools can under- or over-estimate symptoms depending on insight, culture, and stress that day. They are best as a structured checklist, not a verdict.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately — do not wait on a quiz score.
