Because my foot was bouncing along to Sugarland as I was reading. And that happens even when there's no music on. (I also draw imaginary patterns with my feet.) Not saying this means I have ADD... I scored 27: "You appear to experiencing some type of attention and concentration problems which are often common amongst the general population, but border on the possibility of being more severe." There are a couple things on the list that are very me, and others that are very not me. But the ones that are Very Moi might help me understand this person I know better.
The main attention deficit I have is my poor short term memory. Someone will ask me for something at 4 in the afternoon, and I'll remember it at 3 AM. I've taken to carrying elastics around in my uniform pocket, and if someone asks me for something I put the elastic on my wrist til I do it. It works most of the time. I just wish I had a elastic with some code on it, so I could add a little info to the bracelet.
Something like this, but not for eating one's vegetables (though that's pretty clever.) It would have little symbols describing common requests I might forget: "Go to the cash office." "Edit the timesheet." "Call back Jane."
