After years of wondering, I finally had myself tested for ADHD at the hospital last week.

After the test, the doctor asked where I was from. When I told him, he explained to me that the CAARS test is made by American doctors, and translated to Japanese. In addition, the evaluation criteria for the test in different nation are weighted differently, because of “cultural differences.”

Has anyone heard of this before? Is it possible that would result in a negative result in my home country might receive a positive result here, and vice-versa?

Thank you in advance for any and all info.
