The Clinical Utility of the QbTest

Abstract: The study validates the QbTest by comparing ADHD and dyslexia cohorts regarding attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. It employs the QbTest and behavioral questionnaires to assess their contributions to clinical diagnosis, highlighting the QbTest’s potential as a supplementary tool. Participants include 37 ADHD- and 39 dyslexia-diagnosed children aged 8 to 12. Findings show higher inattention and impulsivity scores in ADHD children but no notable hyperactivity differences. While the QbTest effectively evaluates inattention, its discriminatory ability for hyperactivity and impulsivity is poor. In sum, its efficacy in clinically diagnosing ADHD was limited. Despite limitations, the QbTest aids symptom measurement and therapy assessment, though it falls short as a standalone diagnostic tool.
