No basic test: The DX of adhd relies on evaluation and observational, objective data, for example, from teachers, parents, others. Some insurance plans pay for the psychological testing that might be needed, but, again, observations and records from childhood are often helpful in determining the proper diagnosis. Save money by finding a doctor who works with your insurance, & gathering school records yourself.

Learn about ADD: Educate yourself about add. But, if you start things and don't finish, take forever to write an email, never finished a book, lose the thread of a conversation, have friends complaining that you are "not reliable" because you are always late, have a partner who complains about you not paying attention to what he/she says....If you recognize yourself, talk to a psychiatrist specialized in add.
