What other disorders can adhd tests test for?

Tough question: It is unclear what is meant by adhd tests. Adhd inventories typically ask questions about attention, staying on task, planning skills, hyperactivity and impulsiveness, and other measures of performance may tap auditory or visual attention and or response inhibition. However there is no one symptom that is unique to adhd. Assessment really involves history, test patterns & ruling other things out.
