Hot take: it would probably not be tremendously difficult to design an internet browser that watches how you use it and then tells you you have ADHD

I speak as someone who took such a test that was, in hindsight, bullshit (It says you don't have ADHD if you can spend 20 minutes staring at a screen and clicking the mouse when the screen flashes without loss of reaction time as you get bored)

Not only is it possible for an ADHD patient to pass such a test, it is possible for an ADHD patient to pass such a test after *hours* of staring at that screen where a neurotypical person would likely fail

You could probably do it if you had data on a large number of people, plus plenty of self identified labels. I’d assume you’d start to see “clusters” around those labels that you could compare yourself to.

The relevant clinical definition of ADHD is whether you have enough conscious control over your focus triggers that it doesn't negatively affect your quality of life, which is something you can only really decide by talking to the person and seeing how they feel about it
