I've been asked to complete a SHL numerical reasoning test by a boutique consulting firm I'm recruiting with. On the SHL website, there is a section for Talent with Disability which points you back to the recruiter to request for more time in case you have a disability. couple of ques here:
a) would ADHD qualify as a disability to request for more time?
b) anyone here has experience in a similar situation? I'm skeptical that this may impact my candidacy negatively.

Definitely ADHD qualifies for more time. It did in college, anyway

And not sure on the second part :/

Thank you!

Yes. I recently had to do the same test, wrote to them and they gave me extra time. Super nice about it too x

They confirmed that no one doing the interviewing would see that I had extra time, and I didn’t give it more thought because there’s no chance I could have attempted all the Qs without it. They down-grade if you skip answers, and you’re not allowed to go back to change your answer either. The way I see it if the firm doesn’t hire you because of your disability then they would probably be a nightmare to work for, so don’t worry too much. Good luck!
