Dyslexia Test

This dyslexia test for adults can be a good start to discovering whether or not you have dyslexia.
Answering "yes" to 6 or more questions is a strong indication of dyslexia.
While it does not replace an official diagnosis, this dyslexia test can be the first step in finding out something new about yourself.

If you want to dive even deeper into the question: "are you dyslexic?"
here's a guide available for PDF download:

🙋🏼‍♂️ My name is Arije, and I am a dyslexic with an MA in Education Studies. I aim to share all my tips for learning, coping, teaching, and more on my channel. My aim is to help you understand what dyslexia is and how to work with those that have it. Because I believe that, as the most common hidden learning disability, dyslexia needs to be seen to be understood.

COACHING & CONSULTATION

✅ Even though English is not my native language, I wrote my entire MA thesis and worked at full professional capacity in the English language. Because of my premium Grammarly account, I felt confident enough to do that without worrying too much about my spelling. I think it is a must-have for dyslexics!

If you have mainly issues with math, you might have dyscalculia.
With this video of mine, you can have a look into it.

Also, if you are dyslexic, it is very common for you to have another learning difference; for example, I am dyslexic, and I have dyscalculia. In these two videos, I go over the most common dyslexia combinations.
Dyslexia and ADHD, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Anxiety
Dyslexia and Dyspraxia, ODD, ASD, ADHD (inattentive)

What I would like you to know as well is that dyslexia also has its positive sides. Want to learn more?

I love reading. I can read a book in a few hours to 5 days. What I can't do is read out loud.
I "recognize" the words in my head but I can't actually read them out loud without struggling.

I know I’m not dyslexic, but it was still interesting to watch and see how helpful this video was to people who have thought they are dyslexic.

[astrologicalgremlin]

i answered yes to 9 of those- never thought of the possibility of being dyslexic since I'm a bookworm but- who knows?

[reddthoughts]

I have never been officially diagnosed with dyslexia, but since I was a little kid I realized my perception was different than other kids or my family members. I used to see and perceive things "backwards". I think one of the most stressful things in my dyslexia journey is that barely no one truly believes I am dyslexic, not even my mom, she claims "I don't pay attention to what I am saying, doing or reading."

[xXOnlymeXx]

I can’t express how much I needed this test. I answered 6 yes so now I just need an official diagnosis. Even though I always thought I was dyslexic

[holweaver]

I only answered yes to 4 of them and I'm diagnosed as dyslexic. It's quite interesting how everyone's struggles vary with this

[littlerenbug]

I answered a lot of questions with yes, HOWEVER, I have ADHD not dyslexia, I find it super interesting how much overlap there is with the two. It's kind of like having dyslexia but not always, I can't imagine how frustrating it'd be to struggle with it all the time.
Hope more research goes into the overlap of ADHD and dyslexia!

[chloecuttle]

Answered yes to 7 of the questions. I always thought my difficulty reading was a result of my ADHD & inability to hold focus, but a couple years ago I suddenly realized I think I’m actually dyslexic & a highlight reel of memories from my life circled through my head that made me think “omg I am totally dyslexic” LOL. I always thought dyslexia looked like letters flying off of page or you could physically see them switching back in forth (this is shown as what it might be like to read with dyslexia). I’ve always loved words & writing, which made it never occur to me that I might have a reading disability, but that really has little correlation. many dyslexic people love reading (my brother is one of them). I’ve never been formally diagnosed, but I’m 95% sure I’m dyslexic based on my research & life experience. I wish I knew sooner, but I never realized I was any different than anyone else, because it was my only experience. these videos are helpful & appreciated!

I'm still struggling with memorizing the multiplication table but I never knew this has to do with my dyslexia

[gamesofgrrr]

I always found it funny back in grade school as to why I can't memorize the multiplication table past multiples of 5 and that when we read aloud I would constantly repeat sentences thinking I haven't read them yet but in fact I have. And that left vs right thing was spot on, I always thought there was something wrong but didn't really give it much thought. This test should be mandatory for all schools, would have saved me all those bad marks and the bullying that comes with it.

[flamingoxe]

I wish it was mandatory for schools in the US to make you take a test for dyslexia in First or Second grade, i didn’t find out until two years ago in 9th grade… My academic carrier would be extremely different if i had known from early. Ever since second to 10th grade my grades were always rock bottom and i struggled on school especially with Math and anything reading related.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia several years ago in college. Years later, I decided to continue schooling even though it is a major challenge for me. A part of me hoped that my dyslexia “decreased” over these years with “sometimes” to these questions. Nope. Still the same. Thank you for this video and test. It’s reassuring that my struggles are for a reason, not an excuse.

[aprilgoff]

My Grandmother, (who both taught and encouraged me to read), was dyslexic. She was told she was stupid and was treated as such from her teachers all her life. She taught HERSELF to read because she wanted it so bad. She became a nurse and worked thirty years in that vocation. I commend all that are different because she taught me we are all different. I applaud all of you.

[snakeywakey]

Me who is pretty sure I am not dyslexic: "Hmm this shall be interesting."

[slayterb]

I got a diagnosis as a kid saying I had “mild dyslexia”. Whenever I tell people that they always think that means i basically have no trouble at all or they were just over diagnosing a little kid. I answered yes to 6 of these. I feel vindicated in my struggles. I really needed this.

[sydneysparkzmua]

Hi! I actually always said “mild case” as a child too but it was never taken seriously, so I was never tested or never received any help/aid for dyslexia. I’m 23 now and have since graduated college, and my grandmother recently just told me for the first time that she has dyslexia and I’ve always suspected that my father and brother do as well. I answered yes to 7 questions. This was so validating as I was always the last one to finish my exam, even the whole time I completed my bachelors, and all of the questions were real struggles at some point, even if I overcame that. Thankful to see I’m not alone!

[not-so-happypappypatton]

I get my left and right confused ALL OF THE TIME. I hold up my fingers in the shape of an ‘L’ and still can’t tell. It gets so annoying especially when driving 😭

[AlexandraStubbs]

Most definitely answered “yes” way more than 6. But I’ve always been dyslexic. It was a fun little test to take.😊

[moonsun]

me who was diagnosed with dyslexia 6 years ago: “oooo lets find out”
