Neurodiversity test
Take our free online neurodiversity test to find out if you have traits of neurodivergence.
What is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is a word used to describe the range of differences in the way we each think, feel and behave because of differences in our experiences and the way our brains work.
Diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia are natural variations of the human brain referred to as neurodivergence.
Rather than viewing these differences as deficits, neurodiversity celebrates the diverse ways our brains work. By understanding your cognitive profile, you can find strategies to help you thrive in work, study and everyday life.
This free test is designed to help you understand if you are displaying some of the common behaviours and thoughts associated with different types of neurodivergence. It is not a formal medical diagnosis but can act as a first step to taking further action.

Struggling to work out which of our neurodiversity tests to take?
All tests offer you a confidential start on your journey to self-discovery.
The neurodiversity tests explore difficulties you may face in work, study and everyday life, which could be as a result of a neurodivergence. It can help you to understand where you may benefit from further support in work, study or everyday life.
Our dyslexia, ADHD and autism tests help you to explore if you are displaying traits. They look at the difficulties you might face in work, study and everyday life, and can indicate whether or not they might be linked to neurodivergence.
Whilst the tests are unable to provide a diagnosis, they may be a useful place to start when exploring your neurodivergence and can help you understand where you may benefit from further support.
What do the tests involve?
Each test has 10-24 expertly crafted questions and scenarios that cover various topics, including social interactions, communication styles, attention span and other cognitive processes that may highlight neurodivergent behaviours and traits.
At the end of the test, we will ask for your email address so we can send your results and other useful information.
Are you looking for a diagnosis?
Online tests can be a useful place to start when you are in the early stages of exploring your neurodivergence, but they do not give you a diagnosis. They offer limited insight into your experiences and are not always considered accurate.
A formal diagnosis can be useful for those who feel they would benefit from having specific terms for their experiences, or for those who need a diagnosis to access support like Access to Work, exam arrangements, Disabled Students’ Allowance or reasonable adjustments.
If the tests highlight that you might have neurodivergent traits, you may wish to seek a diagnosis through your GP or other provider.
