Screening available: There are numerous short screening tools available online. Many of these are based on the adult adhd self-report scales developed by researchers at nyu medical school and harvard medical school. It's available in multiple languages in both a short six question format and a longer 18 question format. http://www.hcp.med.harvard.edu/ncs/asrs.php.

Here you go: I like this harvard adult checklist at http://www.Hcp.Med.Harvard.Edu/ncs/ftpdir/adhd/18q_asrs_english.Pdf in addition to any checklist you should have your medical history and a physical exam to rule out things like thyroid problems etc. Good luck.

See specialist: Symptoms of adhd may be caused by many different conditions which affect attention, impulsivity and concentration. In order to be properly diagnosed and get effective treatment, you would need to be seen by a specialist (adhd trained psychologist or psychiatrist)
