Assessment and quantification of Attention, Hyperactivity and Impulsivity symptoms and losses it promotes to an individual is a challenging task. A computerized assessment tool, Quotient ADHD® System, intends to provide objective measurements of hyperactivity, inattention an impulsivity on an individual basis. In a sample of 64 adults, we correlated results of this tool with scores of self-report scales for ADHD symptoms, impulsiveness and executive functions. Significant Spearman’s correlations (p≤.05) were found between Quotient ADHD® scores and ADHD symptoms, impulsivity and executive functions symptoms scores. Considering results obtained, we assume Quotient ADHD® might be a useful instrument to help evaluate inhibition control related to impulsiveness and inattention, being suitable to detect disorders with attention and impulsivity compromise.
