Neurodivergent Test

This free neurodivergent test is designed to give you an initial insight into potential neurodivergence, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, or DYS. While the test is still in beta, ongoing analysis is helping to improve its accuracy and reliability.

Discover Your Neurodivergent Profile

Curious about how your brain works? The NeuroAtypi© Test is a free, easy-to-use tool that can help you explore whether you might be neurodivergent. While it’s not a substitute for a professional evaluation, it can serve as a helpful first step in understanding your unique cognitive traits.

How It Works ?

Quick and Convenient : The test covers three key areas of neurodivergence, giving you an overview that can either provide reassurance or suggest further exploration.

92 Questions : In just 9 minutes, answer questions grounded in scientific research to get personalized feedback.

Tailored Results : At the end, you’ll receive a custom report showing where you fall on a probability scale—from no indication to a strong likelihood of neurodivergence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a medical diagnosis ?

No, this test is just a starting point to help you understand yourself better. It’s not intended to replace a professional diagnosis.

How reliable are the results ?

The results show where you stand on a probability scale, from no indication to a strong likelihood of neurodivergence. It’s important to remember that these are just indications. The test is based on traits commonly associated with ASD, ADHD, and DYS, identified through research. However, some people may not fully relate to the traits in the questions, especially if they’ve developed coping mechanisms. While the test is science-based, it’s not a replacement for a formal diagnosis by a healthcare professional.

How was the test developed ?

The NeuroAtypi© Test was created by the Atypikoo team, using scientific research that identifies common traits in ASD, ADHD, and DYS. Psychologists specializing in these areas reviewed the test, providing feedback to ensure its accuracy and relevance. Their input helped refine the test to reflect the latest insights into neurodivergence.

What happens after I take the test ?

Once you’ve completed the test, you’ll get your results instantly. You’ll also have the option to join Atypikoo, a community for neurodivergent individuals, where you can find additional resources.

What should I do if my results show a high likelihood of neurodivergence ?

If your results suggest a strong likelihood of neurodivergence, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for a more detailed assessment.

Can I take the test more than once ?

Yes, you can retake the test whenever you like. If you’re unsure about your results, though, it’s best to talk to a professional.

Can I share my results with a healthcare provider ?

Yes, you can print or save your results to bring to a healthcare provider if you decide to seek a formal diagnosis.

How can I find a specialist after taking the test ?

Your test results will give you some guidance on the next steps and help you find the right specialists to continue your journey.

What types of neurodivergence does the test cover ?

The NeuroAtypi© Test looks at traits associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and DYS.

Is this test suitable for all adults ?

The test is designed for adults who are curious about their potential neurodivergence. If you have any specific medical conditions or concerns, it’s best to speak to a healthcare provider.

Study Insights

Atypikoo conducted a study to evaluate the test’s accuracy, with :

  • 335 participants diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • 532 participants diagnosed with ADHD
  • 86 participants diagnosed with DYS

Autism (ASD) : 95% of participants scored within the moderate to high range for autistic traits, confirming the test's effectiveness in identifying traits of ASD without intellectual disability.

ADHD : 88% of participants showed moderate to high levels of ADHD traits, demonstrating the test's reliability for this condition.

DYS : 89.53% of participants diagnosed with DYS scored within the range suggesting DYS traits, highlighting the test’s ability to detect these traits effectively.

These results show that the Atypikoo test is a helpful first step in identifying neurodivergent traits, but it’s important to follow up with a professional for a full clinical diagnosis.
