Why do you need ChatGPT to feign ADHD? You can simply read the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and just lie. This is true for pretty much anything else like depre

  I think the study is saying that if you just read the diagnostic criteria, you tend to over-report symptoms and can be detected as likely faking, and that happens less with the ChatGPT-generated guide (although the effect seems to be of questionable magnitude). >Our findings demonstrated that the AI-coached simulation group consistently moderated their symptom overreporting and cognitive underperformance compared to the symptom-coached group, as evidenced by group effects in mostly small to medium size (though nonsignificant in underpowered Bonferroni-corrected pairwise comparisons). This effect is also reflected in lower sensitivity rates for detecting individuals in the AI-coached simulation group compared to the symptom-coached group. Here "symptom-coached group" is the group that was just given a handout of the diagnostic criteria.

    Alternatively, https://romankogan.net/adhd/ https://romankogan.net/adhd/ is a more real-life collection than the direct list of symptoms. I wonder how people would test after that.

    Is there any evidence that clinicians can reliably detect faking? Anecdotally I know several people who faked learning disabilities and got official diagnoses in order to get accommodations in school.

      There is a much more objective test involving tracking micro movements while performing a series of response tests both before and after medication. Those with ADHD will respond positively in the tracked markers when given medication. Those without ADHD will respond worse.

        Can yoy elaborate? What markers? Have a very hard time believing this

          What is hard to believe? The effect of stimulants is calmative for genuine ADHD. Anyone else will have more micro fidgets as a result of the medication. This is coupled by response time markers as well as success rate. EDIT: https://www.qbtech.com/adhd-tests/qbtest/ https://www.qbtech.com/adhd-tests/qbtest/

            I just dont believe this kind of science is credible

              And I bet you consider yourself scientifically minded. Depressing. Do a bit of research on ADHD. Maybe look into mortality rates between medicated and unmedicated ADHD. Consider for a moment why stimulants are prescribed for ADHD in the first place, and not for anything else. If you do the above and still can’t see how a simple test like this is more accurate and scientific than a subjective quiz that can be studied against, then I hate to inform you but you are not as objective a thinker as you might expect you are.
