> Even today, I wonder if I should go through the trouble of being diagnosed and getting on medication

Maybe talk to people diagnosed with ADHD as adults? Of my acquaintances like that, they mention an immediate improvement. The benefits were very obvious to them.

It is almost as if we should test for ADHD by just testing amphetamines in questionable situations and just seeing if people respond well?

Likely very questionable advice, but if you are a risk-taking type then maybe score something and just test it on yourself? Try to be scientific of course. And try to understand the risks (which you need to understand even if you were diagnosed by the medical system).
