What is executive functioning?
Executive skills help with organizing, planning, starting tasks, managing time, controlling impulses and following through. Difficulties with these skills can have different causes; they are not exclusive to ADHD.
What is the ESQ-R?
The Executive Skills Questionnaire–Revised is a 25-item self-report attributed to Peg Dawson and Richard Guare. It provides a starting point for reflecting on everyday executive-skill difficulties. This homepage links to the existing separate questionnaire rather than creating a second version.
How to answer and how scoring works
Choose Never or rarely (0), Sometimes (1), Often (2), or Very often (3) for each statement, following the instructions in the questionnaire. Complete all 25 items. The implemented response values support a raw total from 0 to 75; higher totals reflect more frequently reported difficulties. No diagnostic cutoff is claimed.
Research and interpretation limitations
Research describes refinement and initial psychometric evaluation of the ESQ-R. Evidence for the published instrument does not independently validate the separately hosted web implementation or its interpretation. The questionnaire cannot diagnose ADHD or another condition. Consider history, strengths, sleep, stress, environment and everyday impact when discussing concerns with a professional.
The external questionnaire’s current results, downloads and email features have not been fully verified in this homepage update; no particular report or email delivery is promised here.
