Online Neurodiversity Tests
Please note: the results are not a diagnosis, they can be used to indicate whether you may have traits of that neurodivergence. If you score highly, consider contacting your GP to arrange a diagnosis.
Am I neurodivergent?
Many individuals believe they have traits or neurodiversity; however, these are all individual experiences. In many cases, traits of neurodiversity have been present since childhood, but they can also start presenting in adulthood.
Some common traits of neurodiversity include:
- Hyperfocus on one task or struggling to focus at all.
- High sensitivity to sounds, smells, or the feel of certain clothing on the skin.
- Difficulty learning in schools or lectures.
- Creativity e.g. alternative expression, linguistic versatility, novel thinking etc.
- Abilities to solve advanced problems.
- Heightened anxiety.
- Repetitive behaviours and techniques.
- Literal mindedness
Difference between neurotypical and neurodiverse
What makes being neurodiverse different to being neurotypical is that neurotypical people have brains and behaviours that fall within what’s considered ‘average’. Neurodiverse, on the other hand, encompasses the full spectrum of human brains and the variation of cognitive function in people.
At Exceptional Individuals, we offer neurodiversity quizzes to help you determine if you show traits of neurodivergence, or whether your brain functions as a neurotypical individual.
Diagnosis
Our neurodivergent quizzes are great screening tools that help identify potential neurodivergent traits, however, they aren’t a substitute for a formal diagnosis. These quizzes can act as the first step in understanding how your brain works and what your strengths are, but a diagnosis can be the key to self-acceptance and improved well-being.
At Exceptional Individuals, we can connect you with diagnosis providers who understand and appreciate neurodiversity. Simply visit our diagnosis page, complete the questionnaire, and we will suggest the most suitable diagnostic partners based on your needs and location so you can start your diagnosis journey.
