I scored a 16; though I gotta sat that I don't this this test can be said to be, oooooooh look at the kitty. I'm sorry, what was I saying?

I was going to take the quiz, but when I saw that you had to actually keep track of your own score (no nifty bubbles to click on!?), I had to pass. I don't have enough concentration skill to write all that down, much less remember it :lol:

Sorry, but just a 3. I'm just overly-organized. Guess 20 years in the military did something for me, after all.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that I don't get a kid with ADD, just not the hyperctivity componant. You wanna see the worst driver in the world? Oh, that's right, he's in jail. He would score about a 25 on this test, except he couldn't complete it without serious medication. Sorry for the bummer - life goes on.

I found myself looking at question 1 for a whole cup of coffee. I scored it as a perfect 10.

oh sweetie, no one expected you to try and take a test pre-morning coffee!

Actually, I agree with Nethie on this one. MSN can't run a quiz that keeps score for you? Doh'

But nothing like a little mental health self-test on WU to bring some of the regular readers, but not posters, out of the woodwork. Hi guys! Nice to have a little more company around here. Please keep it up. All WUvians deserve to be heard. 'Cuz we're a pretty great bunch, or something. :cheese:

Posted by Patty in Ohio, USA on 07/30/10 at 12:23 AM

its a cute joke scout! :lol: my boy has it too, but as an adult he wants no part of meds anymore. i still see it in him though.

spyone, if you can sit and put together such a detailed and precise answer, you don't need to worry about having add. 😊

I clicked on the link to take the test and then there was a link on that page for hair transplants so I went there and there was a link on that page for dating services so I clicked on it and after about 20 more clicks I had to look up the addy for WU to find out why I was surfing........ hmmmmm
