> Took the quiz. Scored 18, which said ADD possible.
Exactly. Possible does not mean certain.
What were your subscores?
> I don't have ADD at all.
Neither do I. However, I do have an illness that impairs my cognition and memory. I find it difficult to concentrate. For lack of energy, I don't often finish tasks. This, understandably, is what brought my score up to 14 on the inattentive subscale. There is some overlap in symptoms. If I didn't have depression, my score would have been much lower.
> Everyone gets restless or distracted sometimes.
True.
> This test pathologizes human behavior.
Isn't that a bit harsh? I don't get where you are coming from. Do you believe that ADD / ADHD exists?
