- Procrastination; inability to complete things
- Disorganization; messiness; clutter
- Difficulty with making decisions
- Behavioral or verbal impulsiveness
- Difficulty with expressing thoughts in speech or in writing
- Significant periods of depression; low self-esteem
- A sense of failure; not living up to one's potential
- A sense of being different, unconventional
- A sense of internal restlessness; constantly active
- Difficulty with falling asleep or waking up alert
- Very sensitive to being told to do something, teasing, criticism, rejection or anger
- A sense that your mind is always active; thoughts jumping - from one topic to the next
- Easily bored; intense need for excitement
- Difficulty with following rules
- Very impatient; low frustration tolerance
- Emotionally sensitive; easily upset, depressed, hurt or angered
- Difficulty with personal or work relationships
