Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale -- Self-Report (WFIRS-S)

Scientific background →

The WFIRS-S doesn't ask how often you're inattentive, impulsive, or restless -- it asks what that means in real life: problems at home, at work, in school, with everyday life skills, with self-concept, socially, and around risky activities. 69 statements across seven life domains, each optional to mark "not applicable" if it doesn't apply to your life right now -- the entire work section, for instance, if you're not currently employed.

Comparison basis: 🇺🇸 US general-population sample · Empiralis orientation range (not a validated cut-off)

This questionnaire is for self-assessment only and does not replace a medical or psychotherapeutic ADHD evaluation, which always requires a thorough clinical conversation. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a doctor, a licensed therapist, or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988, free and available 24/7 in the US).

Important for interpretation

Unlike the parent-report version (WFIRS-P), this self-report form has no validated cutoff score. The ranges below follow published reference means from individual studies, not a checked cutoff -- read every value descriptively (how strong, in which range), not as a diagnostic criterion.
