Online Neurodiversity Tests
Please note: the results of our online tests are not a diagnosis; they can be used to indicate whether you may have traits of that neurodivergence. If you score highly, consider speaking to our formal diagnosis partners or 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.
Getting a formal 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 offer important benefits such as:
- Greater self-understanding and self-acceptance
- Improved mental health and overall well-being
- Legal eligibility for workplace accommodations
- Access to tailored support services
- Entitlement to legal protections under equality laws
- Clearer communication of your needs to others
- Guidance in finding environments where you can truly thrive
Deciding to get a formal diagnosis after taking one of our quizzes can be a deeply personal and emotional journey. It could be something you’ve struggled with your entire life and you might wonder what a diagnosis will do – whether it will have a positive or negative effect. Please know you are not alone, and we’re here to talk and give advice if you need it.
At Exceptional Individuals, we can explain the diagnosis process clearly and connect you with 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.
Why Take a Neurodivergent Test?
Whether you’ve been told by family and friends, have always had a suspicion about being neurodivergent, or are on the fence, our neurodivergent quizzes can help you identify any of your traits that align with forms of neurodivergence, such as autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, and more. Here are just some of the benefits that can come with taking our quiz:
- Understand how your brain works a bit more
- A starting point for personal growth
- Help you prepare for a formal diagnosis
- Reduce uncertainty
Taking a neurodivergent test is a great first step in the journey to self-discovery. While it’s not a formal diagnosis, it can offer insights into your traits and help you understand yourself a bit better.

Please note:
- The diagnostic providers listed are not official partners and we don’t receive any financial benefit from referring to them.
- They’ve been included based on independent online research and this list is regularly updated.
- We use identity-first, difference-not-deficit-phrasing, such as “Autistic person” or “neurodivergent individual,” to align with community preferences.
- We avoid pathologising terms like “disorder” or “impairment” unless needed for diagnostic clarity, opting for neutral language like “condition” or “differences”.
- Everyone’s lived experience is unique—people may prefer different terms or styles of communication, so we encourage you to express your preferences when contacting a provider.
Please do your own due diligence—you know your needs best. Speak to others, check credentials, and ask questions to find the right fit. We regularly review the list to reflect evolving language and research.
