PsychCentral
This website has an online quiz that you can take to help you determine if you are someone who has A.D.D. It just takes a few minutes to complete, and there is a shorter, 6 question, form of the quiz as well. The website suggests that this quiz can be used to help a person decide if seeking out help from a mental health professional would be useful. It is not an official diagnostic tool. It is more of a helpful guideline. I took this quiz myself, and my result said that I have a mild form of A.D.D., which pretty much confirmed my own suspicions.
