### Analysis
Section 1: Anxiety Patterns (Questions 1-4) Score: 10/12 (83%) Key findings:
- Very strong task-specific anxiety (3/3)
- Strong disruption sensitivity (3/3)
- Moderate benefit from structure (2/3)
- Daily fluctuations present (2/3) This pattern strongly aligns with ADHD-type anxiety, particularly the high task-specificity and disruption sensitivity.
Section 2: Sleep and Regulation (Questions 5-7) Score: 4/9 (44%) Key findings:
- Consistent sleep needs (3/3)
- No anxiety-sleep interaction (0/3)
- Poor reset capability (1/3) This is an interesting pattern - your sleep needs are stable, but you have limited ability to reset from overwhelm. This suggests good baseline regulation but challenged recovery mechanisms.
Section 3: Focus and Attention (Questions 8-12) Score: 13/15 (87%) Key findings:
- Strong interest-based attention (3/3)
- High mental activity (3/3)
- Strong interruption sensitivity (3/3)
- Moderate absorption and performance variation (2/3 each) This shows a classic twice-exceptional ADHD pattern with very strong interest-based attention regulation.
Overall Pattern Analysis: ADHD Likelihood = (0.87 + 0.83) / 2 = 0.85 (85%) Bipolar Likelihood = (0.44 + 0.17) / 2 = 0.31 (31%)
Your response pattern strongly suggests ADHD rather than bipolar because:
1. Very high focus pattern ratio (0.87)
2. High anxiety pattern ratio (0.83)
3. Low sleep disruption pattern (0.44)
Distinctive Features:
- Extremely strong interest-based attention modulation
- High task-specific anxiety
- Strong disruption sensitivity
- Good sleep stability
- Poor overwhelm recovery
This suggests a presentation that is:
1. Predominantly ADHD
2. Well-compensated in some areas (sleep regulation)
3. Significantly impacted in others (task switching, interruption)
4. Highly interest-modulated
