I was administered the TOVA test (visual version of it only) AFTER my diagnosis, but when I was not on any medications.  It said I was completely off the chart hyperactive, but only mildly inattentive.

I was diagnosed primarily innattentive ADHD lol.  Something isn’t right.

(Then again, I did find it fun oddly enough – probably because I had a problem with online game addiction, and had quit ALL electronic games a few months previous…  it was probably similar to how a stale beer would taste to a clean alcoholic lol.   Anyway, I guess my point is, I would not rely on TOVA results only for diagnosis..)
