My variant is called "combined subtype". It essentially means that while I do distract very easily, I also can become insanely focused on the task with the least path of mental resistance. For example, I am writing this comment when I intended to only read the top stories on HN. I just realized that I was distracted from my original task and that I have spent five minutes describing ADHD. Phew!
Anyways, the CDC article[1] is really good about the symptoms of all three types. Pay attention to the DSM-5 spec if you decide to research further. The old DSM-4 spec from the early 1990s is still quoted sometimes even though it's horribly out of date.
