Dyslexia Test

[@emmacheese6107]

Never thought I could be dyslexic and I did this test for fun... I got 7/9

[@Alixiie_Animates]

Yea, I also did this for fun and I got a 6/10. I'm not the sharpest tool in the toolbox, so does this mean I have dyslexia, or does it just mean it's likely that I have it?

[@evakurl]

@@Alixiie_Animates I just felt dumb, especially with the backwards numbers 😅

[@BabyCalypso]

@@evakurl i dont think i have dylexia but I do have adhd. i found that a lot of the issues overlapped so this could also be the case for some. the issues that can overlap are anything that have to do with keeping things in track in your head. lefts and rights, maths, number backwards, months.. its hard to focus on adhd and keep track of stuff in your head

[@sebaalexandre1267]

Well, just so you might consider it: you could also be struggling with attention there. I have ADHD and was confusing the first time I did a dyslexia test. After starting back with treatment, I was tested again and had no problem at all, in fact, I didn't fail in any category.

[@sobrevida157]

@@Alixiie_Animates No. There's no such thing as the condition of dyslexia, like it explains something. Dys means not, and lexia means reading, so it's just a fancy way of saying that someone doesn't know how to read. Everyone transposes digits and letters. . . unless some well-meaning teacher gives them anxiety or some pseudo 'diagnosis' everyone grows out of it, but still makes occasional mistakes. It's like calling one of your kids by the name of a different kid. We all do it. It doesn't mean anything.

[@diluzo]

Don't have Dyslexia, just wanted to follow along to see what my results were. 2/9 I have ADHD and I struggle a lot with my lefts and rights, the other category I got wrong was the repeating numbers backwards one. I feel like I'm generally really good at math, but I struggle with holding onto too many numbers in my head at a time.

[@akmbo5561]

Same

[@alejamonyqueso1379]

Yeah, I also have ADHD and I really struggled with tests 7 and 8. I've always struggled with trying to remember multiple consecutive things, and I find it very difficult to remember instructions when they're all just said at once. Also, I've always used this stupid song that I learned somewhere between Kindergarten and 2nd grade to remember the months, and, since it goes in order, I had a lot of trouble trying to say them in reverse order lol

[@foxliasgriffinYT]

i remember lefts and rights were confusing as a kid, now i feel like i know em well but then i stupidly picked his wrong shoulder best recent example of mixing lefts and rights was when i was in a hospital ive never been before and they told me to go "right" and i was so overly confident in going left and then i realized i made a mistake after like 8 or so minutes and was like "bruh" thankfully didnt miss my doctors appoitment

I feel like non-dyslexic people are gonna have a hard time with a few of these. It'd be nice to see results of a control.

[@miaa7968]

I volunteer! I only got 1 yes and it was the confusing letters one. It doesn’t happen to me in English much but definitely when I read Russian; HOWEVER, I argue it’s because it’s one I don’t read as often in my daily life. I got a maybe with left and right because I definitely can get confused while driving if someone is giving me directions, but had 0 issue with the video test other than just first considering whether the video is mirrored or not, and have no issue giving instructions. I rewound it once with the reverse number repetition but had 0 issue with the example and first real set, and only rewound the second time because I got distracted + his pausing threw me off (which is relevant to my background). I have ADHD and ASD and by extension auditory processing issues. I think the biggest giveaway I’m not dyslexic is my best subject was always English and I was always spelling bee champion. I just wanted to do this test for fun as I know both my ADHD and ASD have high comorbidity rates with dyslexia and dyscalculia. Takeaway: this test can be compromised by auditory processing issues or attention span disorders.

[@Taylor_5724]

i got 3

[@daniellee.e_x]

I had 3. Some were a bit wishy washy at first because I didn't understand the test the first time and had to redo them. Most of them were doable though when I figured out what was asked.

[@SdwHoussamEddine]

That's what I am trying to figure out. I got 4/9. What does that mean?

[@didoribeiro]

contributing to your control, I got 1/9, for the reverse numbers. Could be because English is not my native language but I guess it would be 'trouble' as well. I always though I had some signs because when typing I interchange letter quite offen, i.e. when typing 'frog' I go for 'grof', for handwriting is happens less often. But anyway, here's my result.

[@anthopantho3283]

I'm not dyslexic, but took this test out of curiosity. Got 3/9, however I'm not sure the words in task 6 were actual words? That got me muddled. Also interestingly enough, I had no problem reciting the months backwards (despite having never done it before), but trying to recite the numbers backwards gave me a headache!

[@katmandudawn8417]

Yes. I was thrown by his version on the words. I play tons of word games every day so I’m pretty good at reforming words from sets of letters. Pants is not paints. I also can do the math but not in my head under pressure, I need to see things. I was okay at one time doing the multiplication tables but I’m rusty. I’ve always thought I was slightly dyslexic because I had trouble learning to read and I had poor spelling and I’d say things backwards without realizing it. Now however, I’m a great reader and I have become a pretty good speller through practice. I didn’t score that poorly on this test. I’m not sure what that means.

[@Sunnyhappydayforyou]

8/9 5:45 this was perhaps the hardest and most obvious one for me. When it comes to reversing orders, I always repeat the original order in my head and get the numbers from the back individually. It takes an awful while to complete a task in my head like this, and it’s also difficult since by the time I’m done, I might forget the numbers we beginned with in the first place.

[@Yocairo]

Exactly the same here. Everything was easy except reversing numbers.

[@adultdeleted]

because it's normal. this man is a quack. memorization training is a thing for people without disabilities. this test is ridiculous and would give me 2 indicators because i struggled with reverse recall and pronunciation, except "worsed" is not a word and "pante" is neither, and they would not be pronounced the way this man did. he's not a native speaker and doesn't understand english pronunciation rules. it would take training or chance for someone to not struggle with those two, thus they should be scrapped from the test.

[@saoirsealbanach4896]

I always think it affects me very little (except not knowing left and right is kind of problematic) and the ways it does affect me are mostly funny (like misreading things to the point where I just assume that's what they're called until I learn otherwise hearing someone say them out loud--my family still calls the hockey player Alexander Ovechkin "Ov-check-in" because I read his name as "Ovchekin" for so long, for example), and then I do things like this and realize that I really am simply just struggling 24/7

So many different types of Dyslexia where one can struggle. See yourself struggling with numbers, pronunciation, mixing up words, thinking words and letters are there but aren't, have trouble forming words/ conversation/ experience fatigue as the day goes on then go get tested. Testing takes a couple of hours and it worth your time. Opened many doors to understanding why I struggled through school and struggle at times. Certified Dyslexic.

[@throckmorton9006]

I agree that there are many different presentations of dyslexia. When I got told in high school that I was entitled to extra time in exams everyone was shocked because I was "the smart one" and I enjoy reading and I got 100% in every spelling test then in uni I finally got an official dyslexia diagnosis and people think I'm lying because they think people with dyslexia are stupid.😔

[@kindredg]

Those words with the letter substitutions were really confusing because the resulting words were all spelled wrong. Did you mean to say, substitute the "sound"? That would make more sense. Otherwise, I did better than I feared because I have always had a hard time with addition, subtraction, and multiplication, despite being above average at logic and more advanced math. I have also struggled with slow reading and mis-spelling my whole life. I tend to write letters in the wrong order when I get tired or stressed. My dad was dyslexic and helped himself by working on the trampoline with a method based on the work of Pepper. When I was little, he did a lot of training with me on directions and reciting things backwards so I'm guessing that if I had mild dyslexia that this may have helped keep it from becoming too much of a hindrance.

Some of these are also indicators of dyscalculia. It's a lesser-known learning disability that has some similarities with dyslexia, but pertains mostly to things like numbers, maths, directional sense, spatial relations, and other logic-based skills, instead. If you had trouble with the directional and/or maths and numerical questions, but not the ones relating to words or letters, then you should consider looking up info about dyscalculia - it might help you understand your struggles a bit better.

Although I was diagnosed with dyslexia at school, I also have synesthesia so the ones involving memory were extremely easy for me. I see numbers very vividly in distinct colours (the colour for each number is always the same) so to repeat back the sequence of numbers I just visualised the pattern of colours. I visualise the year/months as a physical wheel in the space in front of me, so to recite them backwards all I had to do was “move the other way around the wheel”, if that makes sense. Left and right have “feelings” which I can imagine/visualise on other objects too. I learnt to remember the times tables as a pattern of colours and characteristics, so each times table tells a story/ has a specific “feel” to it as I go through it in order. Although I did see somebody else’s comment saying they got a low score despite having dyslexia because these are the things they’ve had to learn strategies to cope with as they struggled with them so much, so I’m now wondering if my synesthesia is actually a coping mechanism for my dyslexia? Idk, interesting

[@ColonelFredPuntridge]

There's a great poem about synesthesia. Do you know "The Mad Gardener's Song" by Lewis Carroll? He thought he saw an Elephant, That practiced on a fife: He looked again, and found it was A letter from his wife. 'At length I realize,' he said, The bitterness of Life!' He thought he saw a Buffalo Upon the chimney-piece: He looked again, and found it was His Sister's Husband's Niece. 'Unless you leave this house,' he said, "I'll send for the Police!' He thought he saw a Rattlesnake That questioned him in Greek: He looked again, and found it was The Middle of Next Week. 'The one thing I regret,' he said, 'Is that it cannot speak!' He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk Descending from the bus: He looked again, and found it was A Hippopotamus. 'If this should stay to dine,' he said, 'There won't be much for us!' He thought he saw a Kangaroo That worked a coffee-mill: He looked again, and found it was A Vegetable-Pill. 'Were I to swallow this,' he said, 'I should be very ill!' He thought he saw a Coach-and-Four That stood beside his bed: He looked again, and found it was A Bear without a Head. 'Poor thing,' he said, 'poor silly thing! It's waiting to be fed!' He thought he saw an Albatross That fluttered round the lamp: He looked again, and found it was A Penny-Postage Stamp. 'You'd best be getting home,' he said: 'The nights are very damp!' He thought he saw a Garden-Door That opened with a key: He looked again, and found it was A Double Rule of Three: 'And all its mystery,' he said, 'Is clear as day to me!' He thought he saw a Argument That proved he was the Pope: He looked again, and found it was A Bar of Mottled Soap. 'A fact so dread,' he faintly said, 'Extinguishes all hope!'

Could you please share your techniques with me🙏🏻 I have High Functioning Autism and it would take me so, so much longer to read then the others, over 30 minutes for 6 pages (On a good day with trying to read as fast as I could - Pretty much an hour on average) from a fairly small book with average sized printing so to work around it I read one page skipped a few, read another page skipped a few and so on with also trying to pay super close attention to what others were saying about the book and had as many tests as possible done orally, and shocker, the teacher would be surprised whenever I messed up on some obvious stuff that happened in the book. This is what usually got me through those 200+ page books that had to be completed in like a couple of days or so. Especially in high school, it was so bad that I had times where I would just cry myself to sleep or just burst out in tears on the spot. Had I been diagnosed with this at an early age, it would have probably made things a lot easier as I could have gotten the help that I needed. If I even had to do anything when I was already burned out, then forget about me trying to remember anything that I read, it was a living hell, especially with all of the other homework I was also given. I felt like a "stereotypical" South Korean/Asian child/teen/student in regards to the levels of difficulties that I had to deal with in my school years and there were many times where I wanted to kill myself)... Anyways, if this helps any, here's my test results: 1) My left to right I mess up from time to time, but usually get it, um, right, lolz (Have always messed up when the person was facing me, but I usually got it) :) 2) I don’t know since my Mom remarried when I was really young, so my biological Dad or someone in his family/etc may have had it. 3) I also had no problems with. 4) For lowercased printing style b & d I have confused them for quite a long time, well beyond the age of 8. 5) For a long time yes, they were a nightmare but they are not so bad anymore, but I do still hesitate, how ever I can also do stuff like 17 X 19/etc in my head, but again the hesitation is there. 6) So long as I am just replacing the first letter there are no issues (Same if it is with the last letter), but I do trip up otherwise. 7) The first one I got quite easily, but the second one I had to think about for a couple seconds. 8) Took me around 15 seconds but I got it. 9) Got it.

Left vs right is more on it being reversed since he’s facing you. Furthermore, both of you are facing the same way in his turning example (also an easy mixup of directions that anyone can do). I 100% agree with the replacing of letters and he wasn’t really enunciating them well.

Tbf those were tricky questions and i kinda doubt their real value, as the numbers rather test your attention span and short term memory. The tables as you said require though and tbh i never bothered memorizing them so i don't really remember them, i just do the math in my head unless it's really big numbers. So i don't think that counts as dyslexia rather just being good or bad at math or memorizing those numbers. The replacing the letter is complete bs because, as a non native english speaker, it seems absurd that in the example he gives 2 words that are pronounced the same and have the same letters, then he goes "paste" to "pante" and he expects you to read "paint".

Sometimes it doesn't happen if is something I'm familiar, but if it is something new, my brain sometimes panic and if I don't understand it, I'll panic even more.

EDIT: I also do this for fun and thinking that there's no way I might have dyslexia, but then here you go lol

[@Mjaruk]

I was diagnosed when I was pretty young so I didn't really know what dyslexia was. after watching this video it is nice to see some of the things I have been struggling with are because of my dyslexia.

[@celtic_tigeress4322]

Same. The ones with numbers made my brain pause with incomprehension as to what I was supposed to be doing. Especially the backwards one.😅

[@douglassheese4536]

I got 2/9. My dad and brother are dyslexic so I'm glad at how well I did. The numbers in reverse order is where I struggled.

[@hereholdthiswillya]

While I can recite the months in reverse almost without hesitation, I could only laugh hysterically when you asked me to do so with a random number sequence. 😅 dementia is probably more my problem

[@Songbirdstress]

Laugh, yep a lot of these my brain just goes Noooooo. Actually, I was ok with most of the numbers ones which surprised me. Being left handed is huge. I don't think I have dyslexia so much as having trauma from living in a right handers world.

[@murmles]

I got tested a lot as a kid before getting an official diagnosis. Nice to know they were on the right track in the late 80s.

[@guilhermerosa955]

Marked a confident no in every exercise and step except for the reverse number one. That was surprisingly hard. Took me like 15 seconds to wrap my head around how my thought process would have to work. What kinda worked for me was picturing the numbers in my head like they were printed in front of me in a huge wall and counted them backwards. I did misplace a single number on both of the exercises though. Definitely a yes on the answer sheet. I think some of these exercises can be much easier if you have previous preparation for them, and that is quite common to have. For example, I have the whole multiplication table memorized in my head, I don't really think about it, although I can wrap my head around the logic and how it works, I think that would be a better indicator. Another example, I was pretty bad at summing and subtracting because no one taught me how to properly do it, until one day, and that was like, when I was 18 or 19 years old, I had a sit with myself and tried to find tactics to calculate faster in my head, like 55-12 (55-10=45 but it's 12 so subtract 2 more from that and you have 43). My point is, if I had previously trained for the reverse number exercise, I'd probably excel at it. (I do realize it's not that easy for some people to train their brains like that due to dyslexia or other conditions, it is not my intention to be offensive, I'm just sharing my perspective) I do believe I have ADHD, never properly diagnosed but I forget stuff everywhere, I hyperfocus on one thing and do it really well but in the process of that I forget something really simple, I've been trying to mentally train myself to be better at this and everything else I struggled with in the past and it's been surprisingly effective but sometimes the distraction or hyperfocus kicks in and shit happens leaving me feeling absolutely terrible. Doesn't really help that my family absolutely crucifies me for it calling me incompetent and whatever other names. So yeah, ADHD is very likely. Either that or my brain is just really weird, very good for some stuff but very bad for others. I think the worst thing about it is the extreme procrastination though. Just gonna leave this here in case someone has a similar case to mine and might find this useful or want to share too.

Adhd isn't real

[@guilhermerosa955]

@@Jstaman What's your take on it then, let me hear it

[@Jstaman]

@guilhermerosa955 adhd is a manufactured illness everything we know about it is complete manufactured. The symptoms, the diagnosis, the cure everything. When did we first start seeing it? Early 90s prior to the 90s it did not exist, at all. What is it? Child is 'to rambunctious' with boys having the highest rates of being diagnosed with it. Not because we sit them down in a room after feeding them sugary treats for meals then demand the pay attention to boring lectures. Rather than letting them burn off that abundance of energy as we have evolved to do. Instead let's give them meth to help calm them down and help them focus.

[@greaterthanme876]

I was diagnosed with dyscalculia (which affects the math, numbers and logic pathways of the brain) whereas dyslexia affects the reading, letters and creative pathways of the brain. It is interesting that in this test, they put the two together. How do you know if you are diagnsing someone correctly with dyslexia and not mistaking dyscalculia? Also, ADHD and ASD are neuro divergent conditions as well, which can also have symptoms of these conditions.

[@ForceFree-met-Esprit]

I was also wondering why there were so many numbers!

[@Merip1214]

My question as well

[@pinlight97]

What age were you diagnosed with discalculia? I’m asking as an elementary teacher who wants to learn more and to know what early signs might be ones to watch for. My husband-a very good high school math teacher for 20+ years says he’s never had a student with this formal diagnosis! I believe him but I also know that this means our schools here (I’m in Canada) are missing many students who have this! I wonder, too, what are things that helped you in school-if you were diagnosed young enough? After all, I’m also a big supporter of Universal Design so what works for a kiddo diagnosed with this will work for others…including those who also have it but not the diagnosis.

[@greaterthanme876]

@@pinlight97 the year was 1992, I was 9 years old. One of the biggest telltale signs was when we were learning to write numbers. We would be told to write the numbers twenty-five for instance and I would consistently write 205, I couldn't grasp the concept that there wasn't a zero behind the two to make 20. I was also easily distracted and went into bouts of hyperactivity. Learning was very hard. We were fortunate enough to have a child psychologist on site, so he did extensive testing with me and was able to make the diagnosis. I was put on an IEP for the rest of my education, this allowed accomodations to be made, like extended testing time, quite working spaces, a small class designated to study with a teacher with fewer classmates for both math and homework, as well as an additional life application class to teach me basics like how to do shopping, making grocery lists, budget and balancing money, etc. much of that was in highschool. I remember when I was a kid, I had a teacher who would teach me to count numbers with dots on them, and she also helped make a multiplication chart. I am a very visual learner and still count numbers that way.

[@bensouthgate4620]

I have been diagnosed dyslexia, and I got 3/9 (I got 6 correct) on this test. From what I remember of the tests I did, I did a lot of these questions (in more detail), but I also had to test short term memory and recite letters as well as numbers.

I absolutely love all my super abilities and a dyslexic person 🎉

[@nosilladex]

I am not dyslexic but I find it very interesting that you included the left vs right in this. I had an issue with that in the past, and put a lot of effort in learning my left and right (I'm sad to say). I used to have to use the 'make an L with your thumb and finger' to remind me what left was. I am also very bad with directions. If I miss a turn or have to detour out of my regular route it is a mess. I am also not great at visualizing anything...I have an internal voice but I can't visualize at all and although I "passed" your tests I would greatly benefit from writing them down. The perception is always that dyslexia is mixing up letters in text so I found this video very interesting. I don't think I'm dyslexic but it is making me rethink it in a way because I can kind of recognize myself a little and was not expecting that.

[@cic5347]

That is a very good tip with making an L with your fingers. I never thought of that wow

[@nosilladex]

@@cic5347 It's not a perfect system bc you have to make sure it's palms down. But I was taught it as a child and even used it when I was first learning how to drive and was being told to go left or right. And that was perfect because your hands are that direction on a steering wheel.

Despise all that, I gotta say that the test was fun and so was the video. Good job :)

[@mzmscoyote]

6/8. I am actually relieved that I went to school before we, at least where I lived, had either word or concept for dyslexia. Yes. I was frustrated. But I was also motivated (parents believed in corporal punishment especially for any grade below a B). I HAD to figure it out for myself. In my late 70s now I can look back and realize that, having grown up in a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” culture, I get to give myself a gold star. I did it. Yes, the challenges I had in reading and writing are still with me (I still cannot spell in my mothertongue, but can spell just fine in Spanish) but now those challenges are amusing to me and the worst that happens is that I lose points on puzzles because the letters in clues dance around to give me fake clues. Maybe I’m the only one, but I’m glad I had to figure it out myself. I own it.

@@andrius7412 (and the others in this thread) isn't the point of this to find out what differences we have in our brain processing? because it might not be an intelligence issue at all. Dyslexia is the brain processing things differently and it even can come with advantages despite the challenges. Like dyslexic people tend to be more creative thinkers, for example. I doubt you're dumb. A dumb person wouldn't even watch this video and learn about a new thing. Curiosity and willingness to learn are signs of intelligence.

Never thought about getting assessed until I looked this up. Gonna look more into it to learn more about it.

[@ericapierce9209]

These questions seem a bit random but they’ve been some of my biggest struggles in my adult life. Hearing and writing down someone’s phone number correctly, remembering my social security number in the right order. (I remember the groups of numbers which are 2, 3, and 4, I have asked a DMV worker which order those groups go in 😅.) I’ve had an official diagnosis from a young age (and many, many tutoring classes specifically for it) The two that I didn’t struggle with during this test was memorizing the numbers forwards and subtraction (I’m a bit slower at it than addition but I can do it just as well I think). I never memorized multiplication tables - never made that connection. That can be a real pain as an adult because the elementary math that adults use daily is the type I struggle the most with. (I actually passed calculus though thanks to gold old calculators and on occasion, understanding professors.)

[@ericapierce9209]

Note - I mean the 678 columns on the multiplication table. I was able to understand and memorize 2-5 to an extent (1 is super easy for obvious reasons, 2 and 5 is straightforward, 3 is not as easy but doable - when in doubt I’d add another to 2x, and I genuinely probably actually learned 4 in Precalc. Of course, 9 has its nifty little trick.

[@GalaxyGamerX0X]

I know I have dyslexia as I was officially diagnosed at 8 and wanted to revisit to see if I still have the same results. 9/9 I feel this is probably influenced by the fact that I am tipsy, and maybe when sober I would have better results. But one of the largest struggles I have still is remember a sequence of numbers and letters. To this day I have to tell people including my mother “slow down” when trying to spell or give me an order of numbers, my brain can NOT process those things fast enough for someone to say them in a fluent order. Would also like to add that I was diagnosed with dynomia which I feel has a correlation with dyslexia

[@oliverm8058]

Same situation for me! I got a 8/9 just had to double check those doctors where right

[@MawdyDev]

I've never even considered the possibility that I might be dyslexic since I caught on to reading really quickly as a kid, and since math was easy for me too, I'm very confident I don't have dyscalculia. I mean I stumbled on a few parts and I chalked that up to my ADHD since it was more a matter of getting my brain to focus on the task than simply not being able to distinguish symbols, but I'm *still* confused by the task at 5:00. At first I thought he said "take the word paced" but then realized something was weird when he said "replace the s with an n," so I went back and tried again but this time writing "paste" which was the only word I could think of that sounded like that and had an s, but when I replaced the S with an N I got "pante" and he said it was supposed to spell "paint" so I'm genuinely completely lost as to how that works, since there is no word spelled "paist." I know this because the little red underline is under the quoted word as I'm typing.

[@user-yb9jw7xu1m]

Yes I did not understand that one, but I was unsure whether it was the word choosing that was bad. Or am I just dyslexic lol? I was saying pan tay for a long time and wo sed. Very confused. Brain made sense though as it is the same sound albeit, there is not a word spelled that way but it is spelt a different way. So I'm not sure if I'm not understanding it, or it was bad word choosing.

Neither of you are wrong. In English all the words were spelled wrong after letter replacement. Worsed=worst. Pante=paint and crain=crane.

super cool! I'm dyslexic and got 8/9. its important to note that dyslexia is diagnosed by exclusion of other factors, like other neurological disorders, low intelligence, etc. if you have adhd you might have difficulties with these as well, as dyslexia and adhd are associated with working memory limitations (according to some accounts)
