1. At home, work, or school, I find my mind wandering from tasks that are uninteresting or difficult.

I thought the same about this one! The question strikes me as implying that you have ADD if you don't lap up every dull paragraph that comes your way. I mean, isn't the quality of inducing loss of focus inherent to stuff that's uninteresting?

Count me among the cases of mild ADD. Let's turn this around and say that our ADD tendencies come from being intelligent, and then tie them to the behavioral issues so many of our kids have in school.
