PROBLEM: There are conflicting research data regarding the relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and low self‐esteem. METHODS: A person‐oriented approach was used to study the relationships between ADHD symptoms and self‐esteem in a longitudinal study of twins starting when they were 8 years old. A cluster analysis was performed at age 13 using five subscales from a self‐esteem questionnaire. FINDINGS: High scores of ADHD symptoms were linked to profiles characterized by lower scores in the domains “skills and talents” and “psychological well‐being”. CONCLUSION: Children with high scores of ADHD symptoms often have specific problem profiles of self‐esteem.
