What's the difference?
I'm not even sure if I am Ne lead or I just have ADD. I think a lot of the SEEs I know have ADD too though.

Types with either -base oder -base tend to prefer a variety in perception in contrast to focus on a singular point of view.
For me it's a mix.
I can focus on a specific, but not always and anytime. Focusing on a single topic for a longer period of time can get quite boring for me.
ADD might just be a label that some educators asign to people who are unwilling to focus on a single task for a certain amont of time.
...and I guess those educators don't value that much.
The don't see the benefits of the ability of fast context switching or perspective switching.
The teachers in school are forced to follow a fixed curriculum, at least in my country, which is often contraditory to what stands for.
Teachers want to mediate the already know, is looking for novelty and new ideas.
My short 2 Cent... I've go back to work now...
I'm not sure what it's like for SEEs but I'm usually just distracted by my own thoughts which usually have nothing to do with what's happening at the moment. And I've always had little side projects that I'm secretly working on or at least contemplating while ignoring what I'm supposed to be doing. In grade school they were always turning my desk around so I couldn't play around in there during class, or moving me to the front so I didn't get distracted and the teacher could keep an eye on what I was doing.

I haven't thrown that type out the window, but please let me know how I could be a sensor. Not trying to derail the thread or anything, but not a single person has been able to give me any reason why I could possibly be a sensor. You probably didn't read my questionnaire, but S stuff is a huge problem for me, particularly Se, to the point where I almost retyped as EII because it feels more like my polr. Very unlikely I have 4d Se. I'm a huge pussy that can't make anything happen.

IR test may help
Have you looked at sluggish cognitive tempo? Researchers want to label it as concentration deficit disorder (CDD) and it would be separate from attention deficit disorder. Currently concentration deficit is labelled as ADD for the lack of better diagnosis.
I think CDD sounds bit like Ni but could also be Ne. It just shows that there seems to be lack of proper understanding when it comes to attention and concentration.
Anyways ADD is subcategory of ADHD and it is defined by impulsivity. CDD is defined by thinking something else. In terms of short term memory capacity CDD does not directly imply lack of short term memory but it does not utilize it in the same ways. For example it does not tackle it directly or thinks something else entirely.

I knew that ADD was a subcategory of ADHD, but I didn't know about CDD.
CDD seems to share a few symptoms with ADD, but it also creates other symptoms like sluggishness, drowsiness, and confusion. Since the focus is internal, I can see why you'd associate it with Ni. Generally, it sounds like it could correlate with INXX types.
Irrationality is a pathological state of being.

Disorder is the opposite of order or regular functioning. The psychology community has next to zero understanding of the normal structure and functioning of the human mind, and it certainly has no idea what the causes or structural features of ADHD actually are, along with plenty of other "disorders".
Is it any surprise that, when you take kids, who are naturally energetic and dislike sitting still and focusing on one thing by default, feed them crappy food, and force them to sit in a room for 7+ hours a day listening to teachers, many of whom are underpaid and aren't very engaging at all, that many of them will have trouble focusing? But by all means, if you want to feed them drugs, at least it will get rid of the "symptoms".

Yes, there are usually great deal of cognitive differences when it comes to AD(H)D.
That said:
One of the problem is that medicine is usually too compartmentalized. For example children with certain vision problems might be diagnosed with ADD and autism because they fulfill behavioral criteria on superficial level. Psychiatric is pretty poor when there is a need to judge cause and effect relations.

I grew up with two cousins who were dx’d ADD and they were clearly different somehow from many other kids in a way that caused them problems. No drug is a fully effective solution, so part of what the dx does for kids now is help them and their families get education support and accommodation. Saying this from the POV of having worked in schools and been part of education environments for 15 years.
Btw I have a dx for an attention problem, and my cognitive tempo is rapid, extremely so. And I can take meds but usually don’t.
ETA: The stimulants are considered to have a paradoxical effect—they slow down my thoughts. But they lose their effectiveness as you build up tolerance, and I am not sure whether any doc is naive or incompetent enough to think otherwise, hope not.
And what I think this has to do with Ne is: nothing whatsoever.

I've also known SXEs, SXIs and IXIs with ADD and I doubt there's a drug that'll make one selectively less Ne?
a.k.a. I/O
If you think ADD is like Ne then you're misunderstanding one of them, most likely Ne.
The inattentive type seems more like excess Ne, the hyperactive-impulsive type is more like Se with some Fe. Not that they are necessarily correlated with the position of those elements in Model A.Originally Posted by Wikipedia
Yeah, the SEEs I know all have ADHD, I fit the description of plain ADD better. I have horrible listening skills and I'm very inattentive overall. They tried to diagnose me as ADD all my childhood and I kinda thought it was bullshit at the time and just chalked it up to personality but lately I'm starting to wonder.

I remember my time spent on forums such as PerC. The association between Ne and ADHD was almost taken for granted.
God those forums were bullshit.
I also know an LSE with severe ADHD and you would never confuse her for any other type. My ESE stepsister as well.

ADD / ADHD seems to be prevalent in mostly Se egos, because sitting still in class and listening endlessly makes them restless, to a certain extent should also be prevalent in Ne lead (maybe)
ADD/ADHD = Exxp
Nope just Adhd..
People with ADD often or usually (?) can focus well, sometimes better than other people (hyperfocus), but only if they are truly interested in the thing focused on. So some wiggly little kids may get the dx because they don’t have the disposition to deal with being stuck in desks, but that’s not necessarily the same thing.
LSI: “I still can’t figure out Pinterest.”
Me: “It’s just, like, idea boards.”
LSI: “I don’t have ideas.”
It depends on the jobs. If the task are mentally challenging then I can focus without a problem. Tasks that I perceive as boring are problematic for me.
I'm way out of the age for the basic school education. More likely for me to be a teacher than a student.
And I guess that 4 of 5 members of this board are younger than I'm.
It sounds like you are opbored by things that do not engage your intellect and that this may fall within the range of normal.
If there are things you need or want to do and consistently cannot, in a way that causes you distress or that prevents you from functioning in life in the way you need to, and you have other symptoms of ADD as well, it is more possible it could have clinical significance.
Imo. Not a doctor.
LSI: “I still can’t figure out Pinterest.”
Me: “It’s just, like, idea boards.”
LSI: “I don’t have ideas.”
I really doubt it’s the same thing. It might look the same externally, but I think it probably has a different underlying set of mechanisms. And this is only one aspect of ADD, which I pointed out because there are so many assumptions in this thread about what ADD is, including that it’s a simple inability to pay attention to things in a blanket way.
I haven’t read it in a while, but this is a not-bad book that peels away the surface layer to get at some of what’s going on:

I’m SEE with pretty bad ADHD. I was always annoyed by this idea in personality forums that Ne = ADHD. And yeah, AD/HD is real - most of you just know the superficial symptoms. There’s also stuff like rejection sensitive dysphoria (exactly what it says on the tin; think of all the ADHD kids who throw fits when their peers make them feel rejected - yeah that’s how I am now as an adult except I keep it under wraps), hyperfocusing on certain things, overstimulation, issues with impulse, anger, relationships, procrastinating things for literal months, bouncing your leg and eating your nails like your life depends on it , etc.
ADHD is a neurodivergence making us different from neurotypical people in the same way that the autism spectrum is a neurodivergence. Our brains are different and it’s not fake it’s just overdiagnosed and misdiagnosed.
Medication isn’t always the answer or a perfect answer but right now I’m unmedicated and my life is a total mess. Kind of fun, but still extremely messy and it interferes with things. I’m just too embarrassed to get help with it.

There are several neuro psychological tests online for example Wisconsin card sorting: https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/wcst.html
People with real attention and concentration issues tend do poorly on this test.

I'm LIE-Te with 4D Ne, and if I'm bored as hell with what I'm doing, I can be distracted in a heartbeat. I don't think I quality for ADD or ADHD, though.
I do, however, focus on tasks using stimulants (coffee). I believe one of the ways doctors calm down hyperactive kids is by giving them a stimulant.
I was diagnosed with the disorder when I was in 2nd grade (I think). I don't actually think it was ADHD, but rather my Socionics type.
I got diagnosed off of the traits that I have, being:
1. Quickly corrects factual inaccuracies
2. Doesn't treat authority as deserving more respect
3. Does not care for things I deem busywork. I will outright reject busywork.
4. Fidgets when bored
These traits are all pretty common with LIEs. Correcting factual inaccuracies is common in us. Not treating authority as different is a manifestation of Renin's Democratic dichotomy. Not caring for busywork is probably due to already having set out plans (which LIEs usually have). And fidgeting when bored is a sign of an EJ temperament. So I actually think ADHD is somewhat unlikely. If I do have it, it's very minor.
I think I get distracted because everything thing I look at or read makes me return to my head for some reason.. I know I can read but it takes like 30 minutes of forcing myself to finally get into the "actually reading" phase. But I don't think that might be distraction since I eventually get to the point where I can.. more just I have an overactive mind.
I spend so much time in my head I'd just rather do something instead of read or pay attention to things. Like working out or going to a party.
