The predominantly hyperactive and impulsive victims exhibit at least six symptoms of the condition in their daily activities and behavior. In this category, there can be less than six symptoms that may be associated with inattention, but the victims are likely to portray the inactivity to large extent.

The victims that are predominantly inattentive have more than six symptoms that are associated with inattentiveness in their activities. However, some of these victims can also exhibit hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. Some of these children in this category may not have difficulties on dealing or getting along with their colleagues but they may not have sufficient attention to the activities that they are engaged. The children cannot stick to a certain event for long periods because of the lack of focus and attention to a certain activity. Most of the children that have ADHD exhibit both hyperactivity and inattentiveness. This is a chronic manifestation of the condition because the symptoms that the children exhibit are extremely dangerous and they affect various aspect of their life.
