Advantages of ADD in a High-Tech Career

[KenWittlief]

if you characterize ADD people as hunters (instead of farmers) or pilots (instead of passengers) or warriors (instead of bankers) you start to see why our educational system was not designed for us ADD-people.

The fact that you feel out of place in school is a good indication that you are out of place in school. Many ADD-people are very intelligent and are able to compensate for poor study/note taking/ organizational skills, getting through by the seat of their pants instead.

BTW: you should be able to google up plenty of websites with tests or check lists that will answer your question.
