No. This (might) measure the impact of an environment on a specific individual solving math exercises under time pressure...nothing more. If you actually have 10 years of dev experience than you should very well know that this isn't what development is!
> But when you have to be focused on only one task you have to be in a non distracting environment.
I'm standing in the rain telling you it's wet outside and you're pointing to a weather report telling me it's sunny. Not every person is built to a factory spec - we're all individuals. I, and apparently other people in this thread like me, do not do our most proficient work in non distracting environments. It's really that simple : )
Offices are complex setups full of complex people, and to think that you can extrapolate your few experiences or a study to cover any office, ever, anywhere is hopelessly naïve.
"But when you work on the execution of the agreed plan, you have to have a quiet place on your own" <- This is simply not true for everyone, as much as you (for some reason) wish that it was. I'm similar to the person you replied to in that I work best in "busier" environments. (Also, just to cut you off at the pass, I don't have ADHD - what a very strange comment to make). It has nothing to do with multi-tasking, I just enjoy and am far more productive working amongst other people than I am working alone in an office. I don't need to "work on my ability to concentrate", as my technical directors can attest to, it's just who I am.
I think you would be well served by understanding that not everyone is like you, and that people have different needs and abilities. It will help as you progress in your career.
