INTRODUCTION.
The inventory measures 19 factors describing 4 profiles of personality relevant to understanding the ADD mindset. They paint a picture of your ADD by indicating your strengths and problem areas. This information can help you understand yourself better and develop plans to become the unique person you are created to be. The results are not to be used as a label that may stifle personal growth but rather as a starting point for self-understanding, change and fulfillment in life.
