Abstract Results on the relationship between ADHD and entrepreneurial success are conflicting and several aspects of entrepreneurial success, especially on the personal level, have not been studied. By using a randomly selected Hungarian sample, the study examines the effects of subclinical ADHD symptomatology on the subjective quality-of-life outcomes in employment and entrepreneurship. The results indicate that subclinical ADHD impairs only entrepreneurs’ subjective income and harms entrepreneurs’ health perception to a larger extent than that of employees. Yet, the negative effects of ADHD symptomatology on life satisfaction are rather felt among employees. We argue that these results reflect a relatively good fit between entrepreneurship and subclinical ADHD symptomatology on the needs-supplies dimension but not on the demands-abilities dimension.
