Total score of: 80 (70 or Above, High Probability of ADHD)

I took an online ADHD test, just out of curiousity I know they're not reliable.

It asked me if I find it difficult to read written material unless it is very interesting or very easy (answered VERY MUCH)

Anyone else find that?

I find that I have the same problem. In order for me to read something, it has to be something, that I'm very interested in. I don't need glasses, or anything.

Yeah me too. I totally envy people who constantly read and have full bookshelves.

Personally, I don't see why you'd want to read something if it isn't interesting :?

I don't find that I have difficulty reading anything, guess I don't have ADHD :)

Answer: Good grades.

Required reading in college was torturous for me.

Gah, you're right.

I had forgotten the horrors of history books. I guess I kind of blocked it out of my mind :x
