Patient Reports

The Quotient® ADHD Test report should be interpreted only by qualified professionals.

Select a patient below.

Research indicates that motion is one of the key indicators of hyperactivity. The Quotient® ADHD System uses the Motion Tracking System to measure movement 50 times per second and plots movement greater than 1 millimeter.
Baseline Assessment
Alex, age 21. No medication.
Post-Medication Assessment
7 mg Focalin.

The data indicate that Alex has motion control dysfunction, with multiple parameters below the 16th percentile. Alex sat still longer and had fewer movements, well within the range of adults for his age cohort without ADHD symptoms.
The attention analysis section of the report plots incorrect and correct hits and passes on a time scale. Patients with attention problems tend to make a lot of mistakes and the time of response tends to be more variable than people without attention problems. People with good attention tend to get into a rhythm and the graph shows a fairly tight distribution around the mean response time. Key: + designates a target. X designates a non-target.
+Omission errors: incorrect passes (Measures inattention)
XCommission errors: incorrect hits (Measures impulsivity)

Accuracy of responses was 75.5% (362 correct responses out of 480 stimuli), with 3.4% incorrect passes (omission errors) and 45.6% incorrect hits (commission errors). These results indicate a problem with inattention (2nd percentile) and impulsivity at the lower end of the reference range (29th percentile). The graphs show loose scatter, which is reflected in the variability and normalized response times in the table. Results fall well below the 16th percentile. Alex’s focus improved in this post-medication assessment. Omission errors were nearly eliminated. There are still many commission errors, with performance at 48th percentile. Accuracy of responses improved to 84.4%, which is within the reference range. The normalized response score is at the low end of the reference range. These scores indicate that there may be an opportunity for further improvement.
The Quotient® ADHD System analyzes 40 x 30-second blocks of data for the 20-minute test for adolescents and adults. The report summarizes the information on the attention state chart. It is easy to see how much time the patient is attentive/on task vs. impulsive vs. distracted vs. disengaged from the task.

The Quotient® ADHD System analyzes 40 x 30-second blocks of data and summarizes the information on the attention state chart. For the first 30 seconds, Alex was on task, followed by 60 seconds of distraction, followed by 30 seconds of impulsive behavior, and so on. The table shows that he had 28 attention shifts overall, that he was on task for 6 of 40 (15% of the test), impulsive 40%, distracted 42.5% and disengaged for 2.5% of the time. Alex shifted attention states frequently between on task and impulsive behavior, with 30% of the task in the impulsive state. He also displayed distracted behavior in the second half of the test. These attention state shifts suggest that the patient has room for improvement.

Motion Scaled Score 8.28 4.17 The Quotient ADHD Scaled Scores are normalized calculations on a 10-point scale. Higher Scaled Scores indicate deficit in control of motion and attention compared to age and gender matched subjects. The Global Scaled Score is an average of the motion and attention scores.
