Consulting Focus & Attention Self-Check

18-question consulting-work self-check. Answer based on your typical pattern over the last 4 weeks. Each response is scored 0–4 and summarized into Overall, Focus & Follow-through, and Restlessness & Impulsivity scores. The final category is a custom work-pattern result for reflection only; it is not a clinical diagnosis or validated ADHD subtype assessment.

  • 4. How often do you start a task before fully clarifying the brief, constraints, or expected output, then need avoidable rework? (required)
  • 5. How often do versions, notes, follow-ups, or workstreams become disorganized enough to slow you down or create rework? (required)
