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 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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
I’ve done a cognitive assessment and I felt like my brain would melt when I had to reorder letters and numbers for that section. That area was where I scored significantly lower than most other areas.
I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years back and I got 5/9. I always find it so interesting how similar ADHD can be with other conditions like autism and dyslexia.
Many people that have dyslexia are also more likely to have adhd, autism or something else that falls within the neurodivergent spectrum. I always hated the extra lessons I had to take, but now I think it’s a super power. I still make mistakes, writing wise, I read mega slow, but I am a great thinker, which really helps me with my work. 🥰
I got 6/9. I’m really happy with my dyslexia now. I got out of a toxic job environment that fired me for being dyslexic (they called me lazy and quote horrible work ethic) and this type of test is just another reason I am no longer ashamed.
I am really glad you feel that way :) And there is really no reason to be ashamed in fact they were legally obligated to accommodate you. Which I guess they failed to do....
Ministers wanted me to go through exorcism said dyslexia can be caused by demon I saw what it done for others 👎 I left and was gaslight for having it. Confusing hard to explain.
@@user-sr9es2fl4h probably from this era, people still believe in that stuff yknow respect peoples religion man, just because they sound religious doesnt mean they arent from this era.
I was so confident I’d do well. I love reading and can read pretty quickly too. First question I was so confident with my answer and then realized after he told the answer that I was pointing at the wrong shoulder. It only went downhill from there. I think I got like 1 or two parts without struggling.
ur comment is literally me. i always push aside the probability of me being dyslexic because i always think that "nah i can read, in fact i read pretty quickly and write quick too" but taking this test and getting 7/9.. and learning that difficulties with deciding left/right is a dyslexia problem,, yeah i need to talk to a psychiatrist or something. smth is wrong 💀
As someone who has always been questioning about being dyslexic, I got a 8/9 and in fact some of these tasks were things I didn’t even know were indicators and it felt surprising since those specific things were things I couldn’t do
@@walidsarwaryI answered number 3 as no since I don’t know people in my family and I’m very sure my parents aren’t dyslexic And yes I did have trouble remembering the numbers Not sure why u wanted to know but here
@@walidsarwarythe working memory of dyslexic people is very bad . At least once in the day my brain stops functioning for 5 seconds . Sometimes I hear people voice but I can’t understand them regardless the repeating . But you can do special analysis 5 time faster than others people I was playing Zelda totk with my wife 2 months ago. I solve the puzzle in 30 seconds but my wife needs at least 5 minutes. I never tell her the answer because she will get upset.
As someone who is autistic, it is a fun test to do. My results were 3 out of 9 (only checks on "hesitated"), but sometimes I couldn't tell the difference if I hesitated because I am Dutch or didn't get the meaning of the question.
Wow, 3 out of 9 is crazy good and only checks on hesitated? I got 7 out of 9 where 3 of those were "Yes". I also have autism, the high functioning kind. I agree this test was fun.
The letters one was confusing. It asks you to intepret the spoken word into text, apply a transformation to a letter of the word, but then disregard the written form and only apply thw new letter in the spoken form Paste>Pante? Brain>Crain????
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. This little video isn't a great indicator for many. Take with your provider!!!!
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.😔
Hello, I recently realized that I have been struggling with the same thing about mixing up words and thinking words and letters are there but arent. It took me this long to realize but it only is really noticable during tests where I misread something to a point where i think it asks me for something it doesnt. Like for instance during my stats test the question was asking what was the probability that the frogs had horns given they had yellow bellies and when I was checking back I swear it read what was the probability that the frongs had horns given they didn't have yellow bellies so I changed all my work only to reread the question and realize I had it right initially with the first situation. And during my chemistry tests this year I have somehow missed a first question for two individual tests and didn't even see it despite checking over my test multiple times? So I was wondering what u did and if this really is a sign of dylexia or is something else at play. What really bothers me is that it only really happens (from what I know it could be more common than I think) during high stress environments like testing. Thank you so much for your time.
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!
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.
@@Midni_Dia He did say that but it's not an actual word all of the words he used worked phonetically but they aren't real words. Apart from the example he gave Glide and Slide. Maybe he made a mistake due to his Dyslexia?
@@Midni_Dia Yeah I'm getting frustrated with this one, it must be explained badly, because it sounds like he's removing a sound, not a letter. Remove the S sount and change to an N sound and Paste sounds like Paint. But to say switching letters implies specifically the word read how it'd look to be... Not just nonsense. @_@
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.
This confused me too. It should be 'worst' not 'worsed', 'paint' not 'pante' and 'crane' not 'crain'. He must have meant the sound, not the spelling...
This test just showed me that dyslexia truly does affect my life. I had trouble or couldn't do all of the tests. I had no idea I struggled this much with this. What an eye opener.
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
Same. I usually mix up b and d as well as my and w but the m and w are sometimes. b and d are very common. I always had issues telling my right from my left and subtraction is always an issue for me. I thought I would have been slightly dyslexic but then I got 9/9 so.. Edit: grammar
My husband and I were assembling a piece of furniture which required reading some instructions. He was stumbling on some of the words and I impatiently grabbed for the booklet. He said to me”hold on, I have to make the letters stop moving before I can read them.” He had made it through school and a very technical apprenticeship program thinking he was stupid. Broke my heart to realize how hard he had worked to succeed. He knew nothing about dyslexia at the time.
As a kid my teachers thought I might be dyslexic so I had to take a “special reading class” with two other classmates, but we were in fact seeing an educational psychologist. She was awesome and it helped me a ton but I never did end up getting a dyslexia diagnosis. I got a 9/9 in this btw
I had the exact same thing happen, but there was only 1 other person in my class. I also never got the diagnosis but i did get a coloured screen to read through. and scored 7/9 on the test.
damn yeah people would say i have a learning disability and then just never checked it or tested it and i kept failing tests and things i prolly would have gotten better grades if i had a chance to get help 😂😂😂😂😂 but oh well i hate school anyways outside of the fact
I was in special learning classes too and all this time no one even mentioned the possibility of dyslexia to me. I always thought I was just stupid and it really hurt. It helps me now to know that all this time it was likely dyslexia as I scored an 8/9 on this test.
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.
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.
I always felt a little like I shouldnt call myself dyslexic (I do have an official diagnosis) because I didn't have it as bad as others but I just got 9/9 so I am feeling pretty validated. thank you so much for making this
You can get so used to working around your symptoms it can be hard to spot when it's causing you some problems, it's not like you really have a point of comparison, it's just a matter of if the thing gets done or not. Like taking a list to go shopping, spell checkers as things become more electronic, rereading instructions, etc.
Same experience! I was diagnosed in grade 3 but had a lot of support so if I tell people I get weird looks. But I just got 8/9, so I guess the issues persist.
That's me too! I have an official diagnosis in grade 1, but I do really well in day to day life (or so I thought!) I know numbers are my weak area, but I got 7 wrong, 1 hesitate and 1 correct. This really shocked me.
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.
I almost got a perfect score.😅😅😅...growing up having undiagnosed dyslexia, I struggled a lot specially in school.And now I'm almost certain that my 8 year old kid has it too so I'm determined to give her the intervention that I never got...Thank you so much for this very informative videos. I will share this to everyobe I know maybe it would help them understand. keep up the good work and God bless!
Good parenting right here!! Helping them build those tools early on & give them that understanding of what's happening in their mind prevents those "I guess I'm just stupid" thoughts from happening later in life !
I don't have dyslexia and I have been always a fast reader, and also good at math. However, I have trouble with in-memory calculations and short-term memory of numbers. So, I could pass the reverse number test only when I visualized the entire sequence of numbers in my inner vision, and then read them backward. It took a lot of effort to visualize them and keep the vision persistent in my mind. I could never be able to remember the numbers any other way.
5:01 - confused about this one. “Paste” and replace the “s” with an “n” which gives “pante” which is not a word, and therefore could be pronounced in a variety of different ways
Omg I literally love this mans chill vibe. I am in no way dyslexic and got 0/9, but I enjoyed this the whole way through. It felt like that comfortable feeling you get when you're at the barber. Lovely, relaxing vibe :)
I was expecting to get under 4/9. Nope. I knew I had roughly 50% chance of dyslexia but I got almost all…. Only one I didn’t struggle with b and d. I struggle with p and b, i and y, and c and o. no one has ever mentioned they also struggle with these so I always felt like I was just stupid but I feel like this confirms my suspicion that I lost the lottery with genetics lmao
I'm not dyslexic, but I did get 6/9 and I'm autistic and have ADHD so its always interesting to see the overlap edit: ty guys for the likes idk whats happening in the comments
I think that might be me as well, I clicked the video because I'm an unusually slow reader and ended up getting 7/9 but I am my friend group's spell checker and worked really hard in school to get the best grades in grammar and math because they're the ones you can be "right" in. I'm also in pursuit of an autism diagnosis.
My dad has dyslexia. He struggles with reading and spelling. Growing up, I never thought I was dyslexic because I excelled in reading, writing, and spelling. I'm an avid reader and writer myself, and as a kid I enjoyed growing my vocabulary. I hated math though. I just thought I was bad at the subject. While not officially diagnosed, I do have 7/9 on this. Very interesting to learn!
Officially dyslexia falls under the category of specific learning disability. And within that category you also find dyscalculia. I also have a test video for that on my channel. The too conditions are closely related.
My dad also has really bad dyslexia. Because mine was never that bad, I was diagnosed pretty late (around 17 years old). Turns out I was just putting in so much effort I could mask the symptoms well, even from myself.
To be honest, I didn't write down my scores but the test was quite fun. Really caught me off guard with the right and left distinctions. I never knew that it could be a sign of dyslexia. I had a hard time with that as a child and even a young teen, now not so much. And over all I did pretty good with number memorizations and pretty much all of the tests expected for the math ones. I always sucked at math.
I never assumed I could have dyslexia but this test made me rethink that. Some of these tasks were really tough, like the differentiating left from right one (i've always struggled with remember what's left and what's right, though I've gotten better over time at it).
Yep. You had me at “left hand to right shoulder.”I’m 64 and I’ve been in denial for a while. No worries. Now it’s time to sort it. Thanks for these videos. You may just be an answer to my stumbling along all these years. I look forward to your teachings.
This is just Right/Left Confusion. It's fairly common and commonly to do with a disconnection with word and spatial meaning, suspected to be biological in nature, but doesn't automatically point to dyslexia.
Thank you for this .I am 66 and as a child struggled terribly with all these at school. and all my live.So much so I was initially put into a slow learners class.In my day only boys were categorised as Dyslexic.Girls with the same problems were classed as just dumb.Thankfully in high school I had remedial help from a kind teacher and blossomed academically.Despite years of hard work I still scored 7 out of 9.Thanks so much for your work which will help so many.Good on you.
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
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!'
I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 7 and to no surprise I got 7/9 on this test. The part where he changed the letter of the word was impossible for me. However, I've learnt to live with my dyslexia and I know where it affects me and worked out coping mechanisms to deal with it in those situations. I've been teaching English for the last 10 years and I'm just about to take over running the English department in my school. So just because someone has dyslexia doesn't mean they still can't achieve academic goals. Oh and spell checker is possibly the greatest invention for people with dyslexia. 😂
@@TheArtofThings seriously, for the first word i never even considered associating "worsed" with worst, i just pronounced "pante" as pant. i literally got drain for the last one, not sure how i even got that.. i was so confident when i said drain too
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.
I got 7/9. But I have no idea how well I’d do without ADD or if it is similar to dyslexia at all. All I knew before this video was that dyslexia runs in my family on my dad’s side, and that it was most likely a 60% chance I had it too. This really helped me figure some things out about myself. Thanks for creating this video.
@@hyakkimaru1057 you actually can lol. One of my friends has both, which is why I searched for this video in the first place. They thought I might be the same
It's one of the most remarkable video about dyslexia I have ever seen plus it's guiding us very correctly about the weaknesses of such people. I want u to please help us how to teach dyslexic children to overcome all these weaknesses easily in an effective way. Thanks alot 👍
I was diagnosed with "severe" dyslexia as a teen. I clicked on this video with, well, a lot of doubt. I've always been good at math, so I was able to do the subtraction and the repeating of the numbers (in the same order) without issue. The rest I either couldn't do, or had trouble with. 7/9 and an official diagnosis. (PS: I'm 54 and I still confuse lowercase b and d, but I always write in all caps, so it doesn't happen too often anymore.)
I'm great at math but subtraction has always been one of the hardest things for me to do. To the point where its much quicker (instantaneous to near instantaneous) to configure it as an algebraic equation. Thankfully, I'm also good at rote memorization to help lessen the burden.
This is something that crosses my mind every now and then. I’ve always been great at math but really struggled with reciting the numbers and reciting them backwards. I could recite the whole times tables, but it took a bit of work, like dusting off my brain gears. My mom has Discalculia. I was always in high level math classes but always worked very slowly. I do have ADHD, so that may have something to do with it though.

Holy crap man. I was HORRIBLE with math in school. I just couldn't remember times tables and I think I started in grd.3 and by grd5 I was still having trouble. I had to take extra classes before class to help. And then I had a tutor when I was 12 for grd.9 cause I just couldn't get fractions. I can memorize numbers going foreword but holy ducking doing them backwards my mind just shut off lmaooo
I have adhd and I was thinking this would be incredibly difficult since there are often reports of overlapping symptoms. It seemed like a fun idea so I gave it a go. The only thing I hesitated/got wrong was the backwards recital. I never forgot the numbers, it’s just 1am and I’m running on 3 hours of sleep. I don’t know why I’m telling the internet this. But I guess I’m surprised at how simple this test is, yet it is highly effective in clinical studies and real world applications? This is extremely intriguing to me right now. Great video!
Well it is simple for you because you (or me) don't have dyslexia. If you have dyslexia your brain will have problems establishing the necessary connections to solve the questions.
I have been diagnosed with dyslexia and got a 9/9 on this...wow. Don't really know what I was expecting, but it is crazy to think that most people can do things like recite things backwards, visualize how words are spelled, and know their left and right. I had to get tested again to have accommodations when I went to college. I went through many years of tutoring to get to the point I am at today as someone who likes to both read and write. I started to wonder if I even had it anymore, and got so scared that I would have to continue my education without the accommodations I needed. I went through almost an entire day with a doctor asking questions like these and more. No surprise, I didn't "lose" my dyslexia, I am just usually better at functioning with it. Anyway I love my brain, and although it may not be the best at some things, it is super creative and I can think of "outside the box" solutions to problems. Keeps life interesting!
I've never gotten an official diagnosis due to cost barriers, but I've always been pretty confident that I'm dyslexic. I got 8/9, so I feel validated. The numbers were pretty much impossible for me, so now I feel like I need to take the dyscalculia test too.
@@zack-lk8if Yea, there will never be a case where you will not have a calculator at hand! And honestly, we don't even deal with numbers that much. I use numbers when splitting the bill more than at work, and I work in research...
I actually have a diagnosis but because I learned to read and write okay I kind of doubted my diagnosis but this video made me realise I am truly dyslexic. My friends always judged me because they believed I faked my dyslexia to get extra help during tests so it's nice to know it wasn't all fake.
Word of warning for y’all, the 94% accuracy mentioned at the start of the video is something that’s really important to remember! I got 2/9, but I am dyslexic, in fact when I got my diagnosis from an educational psychologist when I was 17 he told me I was statistically the “most” dyslexic person he’s ever likely to diagnose, these type of indicative tests always came back negative for me growing up, but here I am, the needle in the dyslexia pile, never showing up, but the differential between my comprehension and expression abilities are insane, I like to think of myself like the rain man who instead of solving equations just draws silly pictures and runs off 😂
I was diagnosed at age 8 with a "learning disability in the area of reading and language" it took me another 15 years to realize this likely meant I have dyslexia. I scored almost exactly the same as you.
5:12 u said paste but replace the s with a n. It would be pante not paint. even with brain would be crain. it might sound like it, but doesnt spell crane which could make others confused and think they got it wrong.
I got a 5. The trouble with left and right, as well as having difficulty with 678 x table blew my mind because they were so spot on with issues I've had ever since I was a child.
I literally just can't do 678 times tables. Those are always such a jumble that I always have to anchor a problem around a number I do remember like 36, 49, and 64... and then just subtract or add a number over and over to get the right answer.
9/9 and i always got above average marks in most classes and never had many doubts of being dyslexic….. i guess you really do learn something new everyday
Same. I'm like what?? Cuz I did so well in school, but I do mix things up alot and I'd say I failed this test. Or should I say passed if dyslexia is what we're aiming for. I need an objective judge tho.
@@TEWMUCH you people don't understand being dyslexic has absolutely nothing related with your "School" its just a medical condition that makes makes simple stuff like spelling or speaking harder it does not limit your ability to gain knowledge the person taking this test or the one running this channel as he said himself is an MA in Education studies
How did you get here if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve always had above average grades as well straight A’s but I was in speech and intensive reading my entire childhood. They didn’t know why I couldn’t remember words and mispronounced words. I just found out dyslexia runs in my family that why I came here.
Yeah I know I’m not dyslexic, but the part with the numbers completely stumped me 😂 I’ve never been never good at remembering numbers. They leave my brain immediately
@4:46 man got me questioning life lmao "worsed" is not a word. The second example is also rly weird, I thought he meant "paced" till I turned on captions and it was "paste" which turned into "pante" but he said it like "paint." So I think this part is kinda messed up but maybe I'm wrong
I have a dyslexia diagnosis and got 10/10 on the test. I'm thankful I got tested as a child as I got the help I needed with extra tutoring through out school.
I got 7/9, the 6,7,8 multiplication has always been a problem, and reciting the numbers in reverse was a disaster. I’m 74 y.o. Had reading problems as a child, testing for dyslexia wasn’t a thing when I was a child. My spelling is so bad “spell checker” often doesn’t even have a suggestion. I’m quite talented in mechanical and architectural drafting, and excel at woodworking and metal fabrication.
I had A LOT of trouble with almost every one of the tests. 😂 I just could not say the numbers backwards, impossible for me. Also replacing the letters from the words was difficult. Now I get why I couldn't do the spelling letter by letter exercises when I was in primary school.
I've never had the chance to get a diagnosis but I was pretty sure I was dyslexic just because I can never know which is left or right. Thank you so much for the test, it validated other difficulties that I had but didn't know were due to dyslexia.
I actually have to look at my hands to see what shape my pointer finger and thumb make a L shape...L = left and the other is right 😂 I am 44 and still have trouble with b and d..
Eventually after all the gaming I figured out via mouse buttons. Then via driving jokes I got the language part too(I’m multilingual) so now I know left and right in four languages AND I can use it. The joke goes like this, either you’re driving on the right side of the road or the wrong one.
No the whole point of diagnosing dyslexia is to help people know they aren't dumb, their brain just decodes and encodes differently. It doesn't mean less intelligence.
@@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.
Wow! Just stumbled over your channel and watched several of your dyslexia tests. They reminded me of being an 8 year old and going through 3 days of testing to find out I was severely dyslexic. I had a check in all the boxes of this test... I'm now 32 years old and a licensed nurse. A profession I was told I would never succeed in, yet was my dream. I struggle where other nurses don't but excel in areas that those same nurse took took years to hone. I revel in my "disability". I am one of kind. Thank you for making this content! You are amazing! Much love from the US ❤
Thanks for sharing. I’m wanting to get into nursing myself. I know I have a learning disability. I don’t have anyone formally diagnosed with dyslexia in my family but based off some things I’ve noticed with myself I feel like it’s more than likely that diagnosis.
@@marvyST My best advice is to work in a hospital as an assistant and study pathophysiology on your own time before going to nursing school. Nursing school is very challenging especially for a dyslexic. There is a lot of reading and writing and this will take up a lot of your time. If your dedicated enough and sacrifice a bit of your personal life I have no doubt that you will get through it, reaching your goal. Remember that nothing worth having comes easy...this is especially true for dyslexics in modern academia.
Thank you for shining your light and perseverance. I'm interested in a dental hygiene position but afraid I'm not smart enough with my dyslexia. However I've been a corporate teacher creating award winning curriculums and teaching difficult content with ease to others with high achievers in classrooms so even tho I know I could do it - its a pushback feel in but reading your post makes me realize I've got what it takes too.
The only two I _really_ struggle with is reversing number orders and left vs right. 6, 7, and 8 times tables always require significantly more thought than any other ones, and I also struggled a lot with replacing letters, but I blame that on the replaced letters not making new words and also thinking that paste was paced :D Notably though, I do have ADHD and I have always been an exceptional reader, but I don’t read like anyone else I know except my mom. We both just stare at a sentence until it surrenders its meaning. We don’t read individual words.
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".
some of these rely heavily on working memory (reversals and repeatals), so a skilled clinician would need to be able to separate results from something like ADHD or another disorder that heavily impairs working memory.
working memory is separate from short and long term memory, working memory is roughly capacity of 30 seconds, and it's what your brain relies on to solve complex tasks. think of it as like your computer RAM capacity, not your hard drive / SD card / SSD. if you don't have enough RAM to load the video file to edit, you can't complete the task. It doesn't matter if you have plenty of storage space to save it for later or load it.@@__toast___
I'm dyslexic and this pinpointed all of my failures so directly. 7/9 for me. I wish someone had known I was dyslexic growing up, I always had trouble with reading like, massive trouble, and I always struggled with math, and was ignored my entire grade school and called lazy and stupid. It wasn't until university that I discovered I had dyslexia and found ways to deal with it in the best way I could. (Audiobooks, Mental math practice, GPT for narrowing down Academic writing, voice to text, etc. And I'm also a designer, the profession with the highest number of dyslexic people.
I am surely dyslectic, and diagnosed at age 12. But had over 6 years of extra classes, treatments and biting my teeth to work hard to reach my double degree after 9 years of universities. Now in my 40ies, I have learned so many tricks and practice that I hardly score bad on this test. But only have issues left with learning a new language.
bro. at 1:47 . i pointed to the wrong side for right shoulder and he said “this is my right shoulder, now point to my left” AND I STILL POINTED TO THE WRONG ONE BRO💀
I did not think I would be dyslexic but here I am with a 8/9 on the test. My father is dyslexic. I also struggled with B & D’s till I was 11. The numbers 2 and 5 always stunted me too
I'm technically dyslexic but vanquished any potential pathologies via early intervention. I was super lucky to have a stay at home mom and she helped me develop a love for reading even while still learning to speak. Grandparents gave me a PC at age 2 with a ton of games I had to learn to install and play myself. Played road trip games reading all signs passing by as quickly as possible. I'm a speed reader and type accurately at 100+ wpm (higher if really stretching) but scored quite highly on this test (7). Early intervention, folks, even earlier than you would guess. The sheer mass of practice early on allow for effective masking and indeed "pathologies" of this disorder. Thank you, have a lovely day.
I alway knew there was something different/wrong about me growing up as i always tried very hard but couldn’t do some of the work properly (didn’t know the multiplication table was dyslexia!). I felt so relieved when i got diagnosed at 17, it was so liberating to know what it was and knew it wasn’t uncommon and therefore there would be tools and tricks to live with it. Thank you for this video, I’m sure it will help others :) I scored 7/9
ive been researching neurodivergences for myself for a few years now because of my own struggles. i got 8/9. my dad was severely dislexic and i know for fact that a lot of my family is undiagnosed neurodivergent (mostly ADHD, autistic ad dyslexic) its so sad how most of this stuff goes completeley under the radar for AFAB people.
@@walidsarwary my working memory or absolutely crap, i will save a photo 3 times because i forgot i saved it a second ago, or forgetting things in my room when my only purpose while i was walking out of it was to take that one thing, or forgetting lists of things immediately after someone said it
@Ghostaroni just last question please did you get the number 3 question from this video or you couldn't repeat the numbers please watch this video and tell me if you struggle ???
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.
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.
@@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.
My difficulties here were differentiating left and right - it's really something I have to stop and think about and it's always been something I've struggled with - and saying the numbers in reverse order, more because I couldn't memorize them. The rest was okay. An interesting, simple and easy test. Thanks for sharing this. I'm sure it will be helpful for many people.
the most hard thing in left or right shoulder is that you dont understand from what pov you should think.Its more like unfinished sentance at this point.
I'm 44 and was oblivious all my life that I was dyslexic until my 9 yrs old daughter stopped progressing at school. We got her diagnosed and that's went it hit me: the Ooohh moment. It just explains everything 😅. I'm teaching my daughter to embrace her uniqueness, we are very creative people, good at solving problems and we should look at what we can do and not focus on what we cannot do
I am already diagnosed with Dyslexia, but i still wanted to try this test. When we got to the numbers, i kept forgetting every number after getting them told to me, in other words i couldn't keep up with all the number until i just gave up completely and forgot all the numbers. 2:55 and 5:51
I always thought I was stupid or something was wrong with me because I was always slower than everyone. When I was in primary school, I had to go to a special class for those that are slower in education, but honestly that classroom was so much better just because they had air-con and the tables are all new🤭, so I felt special rather than different. Even now at work I struggle with daily task but I can’t make excuses so I have to alway check everything up to 10times more to make sure it’s correct. I was never diagnosed with dyslexia and didn’t know about it till now, I’m 24yrs old now.
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.
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 was diagnosed dyslexic as a young boy but after loads of help and learning different techniques my reading is good and my spelling is better but not brilliant. My punctuation is terrible as you can probably see. But honestly not felling like dyslexia affects me much anymore I thought is pass this test 😂 I didn’t I'm quite clearly still dyslexic and I'm so thankful for it. I absolutely love all my super abilities and a dyslexic person 🎉
I only got 4 out of 9. I was tested for dyslexia 10 years ago and told I didn't have it but I think I'm due a retest since I'm at university now and been having problems. I was always good at spelling and writing so nobody really believed it possible for me.
I was totally convinced I would be fine doing these but you sound just like me. The 678 X tables was when I got a jaw drop. Some of them were fine, but some totally not. I'm really confused now. I read loads as a child, have near perfect spelling and I write for fun.
@@meretriciousinsolent It may be because we've both developed coping mechanisms that have kept us above the level of suspicion until put under pressure.
I got 7 out of 9, I was told I have "only dyslexic tendencies" because if I was given 5 minutes to answer a question I could do it ??? I didn't know how to tell that lady that's not how it works lmao
Hebrew righting system is an Abjad , like Arabic. That's why it's difficult, one letter may be pronounced 2 different ways and a sound be be spelled 2 or 3 different ways.
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.
@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.
@FirstSynapse you don't need to be a psychiatrist to know anything about add or adhd. Both were manufactured. Look up the history, then study the methods of diagnosis. It's the same quack science that prescribed lobotomy for women being too emotional. Or drinking mercury to cure diseases
Never have I thought that I "might" have a learning disorder. I got 6/9 which surprises me because I never struggle at school, in fact I'm doing great than most students. I mostly struggle with simple stuffs like remembering numbers in my head and manipulating them so mental math is a no go. I also noticed that I struggle differentiating left and right from other perspective, no wonder I got lost because I can't tell if I went on the left or right side of the road even though that place was just around my neighborhood. I don't know if this is also a symptom but I sometimes struggle with instruction. Like in this video, I have to playback several times because my brain can't process what should I do. 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. In terms of words and letters, I never struggle with it, only when speaking because I always stutter. It might just be bad memory but it is indeed hindering me from time to time. EDIT: I also do this for fun and thinking that there's no way I might have dyslexia, but then here you go lol
I got 7/9 and i'm not sure if I'm dyslexic or not, but this video reminded me of all the struggles I had in primary school to my highschool. Till this day, I have a lot of trouble doing basic math counts, distinguish left and right, remembering words or numbers that are thrown at me, etc. I'll see if one of these days I can get a diagnosis. Despise all that, I gotta say that the test was fun and so was the video. Good job :)
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 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.
Wow, I’d never really looked into dyslexia before, I know that I frequently scramble letters inside words when I write but this test was absurdly accurate to my issues. Like mixing up b and d, and having issues with the order of the months, it’s honestly mind-boggling I haven’t looked this up before…
I was recently told that i had adhd. I did some research and found out from one of your old videos that dyslexia can be mistaken for adhd, and now here i am. I got 8/9 as my score😭
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
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.
i am dyslexic and i related to EVERYTHING in the video. It was fun in a way to just see someone else having a hard time with right and left and the months of the year just like me! I got 8/9 (just as the video nothing on the 3:d) I've had the diagnosis for 2 years and I - myself, didn't know it before then even though all my friends knew... LAMO
Some of these are things I think most people would have a problem with; such as the letter replacement and counting numbers in order backwards.Sorry, but I take this with a grain of salt.
Interesting how it tests mathematical knowledge. I questioned my possibility for dyslexia but only got a 2/7, with one of the marks for having a parent who likely has dyslexia, and the other being the number reversal test as I hesitated once. Thanks for the video!
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.
Never had an official diagnosis, but I also never suspected anything as I was growing up. My best friend had more obvious signs, so I think that's why I figured the trouble I had was normal. We both exceeded in English class, however. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I realized I probably have dyslexia. I also have ADHD, and my brother is autistic, all of which I understand are closely related. I got 7/9. Possibly 8. Depends how much hesitancy is required to really mark it as a hesitancy. 😂
Thank you for putting these videos out into the world. They have changed my life! I thought dyslexia was just seeing words backwards. So I never even thought that is what I was struggling with. I’m in my mid 30’s and still have trouble remembering which is my left and right. I also get b’s and p’s mixed up. Only 2 of the questions in this video were a no for me. Thank you for this resource!
8/9 I was actually diagnosed with dyslexia back when I was a child but it was disregarded by my parents when I changed schools and they said it doesn't apply anymore. Byebye extra time.
Never thought I could be dyslexic and I did this test for fun... I got 7/9
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?
@@Alixiie_Animates I just felt dumb, especially with the backwards numbers 😅
@@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
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.
@@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.
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.
Same
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
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
same!!! i got a 7 but im prety sure a lot of this is cause of my adhd heh
Im exactly the same, ADHD, not good executive function memory
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.
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.
i got 3
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.
That's what I am trying to figure out. I got 4/9. What does that mean?
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.
The moment he said "recite these 6 numbers back to me in order/reverse" I thought to myself: welp this is where I die
Relatable, I almost just gave up because I knew I had no shot.
I didn't even bother remembering the six numbers in the order he gave them. Once he got to the 5th one, I was like, "Nope!"
I just forgot half the numbers but that's no dyslexia but bad memory
I got 6/9 but like it might just be memory stuff
I’ve done a cognitive assessment and I felt like my brain would melt when I had to reorder letters and numbers for that section. That area was where I scored significantly lower than most other areas.
I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years back and I got 5/9. I always find it so interesting how similar ADHD can be with other conditions like autism and dyslexia.
ADHD here too. I’m Aphantasic too and that never helps with stuff like the repeating the numbers backwards, haha.
Many people that have dyslexia are also more likely to have adhd, autism or something else that falls within the neurodivergent spectrum. I always hated the extra lessons I had to take, but now I think it’s a super power. I still make mistakes, writing wise, I read mega slow, but I am a great thinker, which really helps me with my work. 🥰
They are under a transdianostic category! (Neurodevelopmental disorders) so they really have points in common
source: im psychologist
issues in the same part of the brain, just different results
I've got both ADHD and Autism, and I got 7/9 from this video's test!
I got 6/9. I’m really happy with my dyslexia now. I got out of a toxic job environment that fired me for being dyslexic (they called me lazy and quote horrible work ethic) and this type of test is just another reason I am no longer ashamed.
I am really glad you feel that way :) And there is really no reason to be ashamed in fact they were legally obligated to accommodate you. Which I guess they failed to do....
Ministers wanted me to go through exorcism said dyslexia can be caused by demon I saw what it done for others 👎 I left and was gaslight for having it. Confusing hard to explain.
And does my dad wanna upper lip
Shut your mouth dad or get an upper lip busted lip shut your F. and mouth

I was so confident I’d do well. I love reading and can read pretty quickly too. First question I was so confident with my answer and then realized after he told the answer that I was pointing at the wrong shoulder. It only went downhill from there. I think I got like 1 or two parts without struggling.
same here, no trouble reading or writing. can speed read as well
same but i got a diagnosis when i was 12 i just wanted to see what the video was like
Same
ur comment is literally me. i always push aside the probability of me being dyslexic because i always think that "nah i can read, in fact i read pretty quickly and write quick too" but taking this test and getting 7/9.. and learning that difficulties with deciding left/right is a dyslexia problem,, yeah i need to talk to a psychiatrist or something. smth is wrong 💀
BRO SAME
I think the biggest indicator of dyslexia in this test would be if you didn't realize that "worsed" and "paist" are not real words.
LOL i guess i dont have dyslexia bc i was so confused when he said that
Yeah that was weird.
Didn't notice till you pointed it out-
and crain… i was really confused, i thought i misheard him
I was wondering why i had never heard worsed, and i said pant not paint😭
As someone who has always been questioning about being dyslexic, I got a 8/9 and in fact some of these tasks were things I didn’t even know were indicators and it felt surprising since those specific things were things I couldn’t do
Please it is very important to me did you answer correctly number 3 question,? To repeat the 6 digit number , do you have difficulty remembering?
@@walidsarwaryI answered number 3 as no since I don’t know people in my family and I’m very sure my parents aren’t dyslexic
And yes I did have trouble remembering the numbers
Not sure why u wanted to know but here
But there*
@@walidsarwarythe working memory of dyslexic people is very bad . At least once in the day my brain stops functioning for 5 seconds .
Sometimes I hear people voice but I can’t understand them regardless the repeating .
But you can do special analysis 5 time faster than others people
I was playing Zelda totk with my wife 2 months ago. I solve the puzzle in 30 seconds but my wife needs at least 5 minutes. I never tell her the answer because she will get upset.
I was diagnosed with a cognitive memory disorder when I was a child.Dyslexia is a part of it and oh my god is it hard I scored 8/9
I got a 0/9, just came here for fun especially cause im studying psychology at school and this is one of the tests in my book
Its pretty amazing
Same
Yeah same 0/9
How-
I got 2/9 and I’m very bad at spelling mostly because I’m very dumb but yeah not dyslexic
i have no idea how you could do the reverse numbers thing correctly
As someone who is autistic, it is a fun test to do. My results were 3 out of 9 (only checks on "hesitated"), but sometimes I couldn't tell the difference if I hesitated because I am Dutch or didn't get the meaning of the question.
Wow, 3 out of 9 is crazy good and only checks on hesitated?
I got 7 out of 9 where 3 of those were "Yes". I also have autism, the high functioning kind. I agree this test was fun.
Also autistic and i checked 2. Got the left and right wrong, and also listing the numbers in reverse order.
The letters one was confusing. It asks you to intepret the spoken word into text, apply a transformation to a letter of the word, but then disregard the written form and only apply thw new letter in the spoken form
Paste>Pante?
Brain>Crain????
I'm in the EXACT same boat
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. This little video isn't a great indicator for many. Take with your provider!!!!
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.😔
Hello, I recently realized that I have been struggling with the same thing about mixing up words and thinking words and letters are there but arent. It took me this long to realize but it only is really noticable during tests where I misread something to a point where i think it asks me for something it doesnt. Like for instance during my stats test the question was asking what was the probability that the frogs had horns given they had yellow bellies and when I was checking back I swear it read what was the probability that the frongs had horns given they didn't have yellow bellies so I changed all my work only to reread the question and realize I had it right initially with the first situation. And during my chemistry tests this year I have somehow missed a first question for two individual tests and didn't even see it despite checking over my test multiple times? So I was wondering what u did and if this really is a sign of dylexia or is something else at play. What really bothers me is that it only really happens (from what I know it could be more common than I think) during high stress environments like testing. Thank you so much for your time.
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!
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.
None of them were actual words, annoyed me quite a bit
@@katmandudawn8417 Did he not say Paste, which then became Pante which sounds like paint?
@@Midni_Dia He did say that but it's not an actual word all of the words he used worked phonetically but they aren't real words. Apart from the example he gave Glide and Slide. Maybe he made a mistake due to his Dyslexia?
@@Midni_Dia Yeah I'm getting frustrated with this one, it must be explained badly, because it sounds like he's removing a sound, not a letter.
Remove the S sount and change to an N sound and Paste sounds like Paint. But to say switching letters implies specifically the word read how it'd look to be... Not just nonsense. @_@
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.
Yeah, I was like how does “paste” change into paint? And I was also thinking “I’m pretty sure worsed isn’t a word”
I’m out here wondering where the “i” in “paced” is.
This confused me too. It should be 'worst' not 'worsed', 'paint' not 'pante' and 'crane' not 'crain'. He must have meant the sound, not the spelling...
@@ellemiller3897I thought I was losing my mind. I was so confused why there weren't more comments addressing this
@@gracereynolds7503 fr I am dyslexic but I thought it was so much worse lmaoo
This test just showed me that dyslexia truly does affect my life. I had trouble or couldn't do all of the tests. I had no idea I struggled this much with this. What an eye opener.
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
yeah the reading the numbers back kinda annoyed me but more so because there was to many and i could'nt remember or just changed them.
These tests are kinda intended to bully people with dyslexia so dont let it get to you too much.
Same. I usually mix up b and d as well as my and w but the m and w are sometimes. b and d are very common. I always had issues telling my right from my left and subtraction is always an issue for me. I thought I would have been slightly dyslexic but then I got 9/9 so..
Edit: grammar
as an non english speaker the replace one and the reversed number one was hell
My husband and I were assembling a piece of furniture which required reading some instructions. He was stumbling on some of the words and I impatiently grabbed for the booklet. He said to me”hold on, I have to make the letters stop moving before I can read them.” He had made it through school and a very technical apprenticeship program thinking he was stupid. Broke my heart to realize how hard he had worked to succeed. He knew nothing about dyslexia at the time.
Have a look at Irlen technique, often putting a piece of coloured plastic over the text can stop it moving around.
As a kid my teachers thought I might be dyslexic so I had to take a “special reading class” with two other classmates, but we were in fact seeing an educational psychologist. She was awesome and it helped me a ton but I never did end up getting a dyslexia diagnosis. I got a 9/9 in this btw
Same😂😭
I had the exact same thing happen, but there was only 1 other person in my class. I also never got the diagnosis but i did get a coloured screen to read through. and scored 7/9 on the test.
damn yeah people would say i have a learning disability and then just never checked it or tested it and i kept failing tests and things i prolly would have gotten better grades if i had a chance to get help 😂😂😂😂😂 but oh well i hate school anyways outside of the fact
I was in special learning classes too and all this time no one even mentioned the possibility of dyslexia to me. I always thought I was just stupid and it really hurt. It helps me now to know that all this time it was likely dyslexia as I scored an 8/9 on this test.
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.
Exactly the same here. Everything was easy except reversing numbers.
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.
I did exactly that too but those were the only ones i struggled with
Did you pass the number 3 question repeating the 6 digit numbers
@@YocairoDid you pass the number 3 question repeating the 6 digit numbers
I always felt a little like I shouldnt call myself dyslexic (I do have an official diagnosis) because I didn't have it as bad as others but I just got 9/9 so I am feeling pretty validated. thank you so much for making this
You can get so used to working around your symptoms it can be hard to spot when it's causing you some problems, it's not like you really have a point of comparison, it's just a matter of if the thing gets done or not. Like taking a list to go shopping, spell checkers as things become more electronic, rereading instructions, etc.
Same experience! I was diagnosed in grade 3 but had a lot of support so if I tell people I get weird looks. But I just got 8/9, so I guess the issues persist.
That's me too! I have an official diagnosis in grade 1, but I do really well in day to day life (or so I thought!) I know numbers are my weak area, but I got 7 wrong, 1 hesitate and 1 correct. This really shocked me.
@@neonice lol good for you for not being dyslexic? What a weird brag on a video like this.
you just explained me ive had a diagnosis for quite some time (mostly dyscalculia) and i always felt that and here i am getting a 8/9
1:54 I pointed my right hand to his left shoulder 😅
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.
thank you !!
I have a problem with numbers, but spatial relations and directions I totally get. Learning directions in Chinese about killed me.
Thank you!
Dyscalculia and dyslexia tend to be found together.
Intresting Im good at math but sometimes I do flip my numbers around. That's why I always double triple check.
I almost got a perfect score.😅😅😅...growing up having undiagnosed dyslexia, I struggled a lot specially in school.And now I'm almost certain that my 8 year old kid has it too so I'm determined to give her the intervention that I never got...Thank you so much for this very informative videos. I will share this to everyobe I know maybe it would help them understand.
keep up the good work and God bless!
To get a perfect score I also need to practice my dyslexic skills a little more. 😉
Good parenting right here!! Helping them build those tools early on & give them that understanding of what's happening in their mind prevents those "I guess I'm just stupid" thoughts from happening later in life !
But the thing is this test is not proper and can be wrong
I don't have dyslexia and I have been always a fast reader, and also good at math. However, I have trouble with in-memory calculations and short-term memory of numbers. So, I could pass the reverse number test only when I visualized the entire sequence of numbers in my inner vision, and then read them backward. It took a lot of effort to visualize them and keep the vision persistent in my mind. I could never be able to remember the numbers any other way.
I did it the exact same way!
samee
yeah it’s hard for me to remmeber things short term unless i visualize them in my head
I could memorize and visualize the sequence but I couldn't maintain the order as I attempted to reverse it
same 😭😭
5:01 - confused about this one. “Paste” and replace the “s” with an “n” which gives “pante” which is not a word, and therefore could be pronounced in a variety of different ways
Crain isnt a word either i think he just wanted us to sound the words out
Omg I literally love this mans chill vibe. I am in no way dyslexic and got 0/9, but I enjoyed this the whole way through. It felt like that comfortable feeling you get when you're at the barber. Lovely, relaxing vibe :)
I appreciate that!
Must be relaxing when you don’t have dyslexia. ahahaha
Same no dyslexia and got 2/9 but it was fun
I was expecting to get under 4/9. Nope. I knew I had roughly 50% chance of dyslexia but I got almost all…. Only one I didn’t struggle with b and d. I struggle with p and b, i and y, and c and o. no one has ever mentioned they also struggle with these so I always felt like I was just stupid but I feel like this confirms my suspicion that I lost the lottery with genetics lmao
Bravo all ok 👌
I'm not dyslexic, but I did get 6/9 and I'm autistic and have ADHD so its always interesting to see the overlap
edit: ty guys for the likes idk whats happening in the comments
based
have you been checked? those with ADHD are significantly more likely to have dyslexia
You're type 2 dyslexic
I think that might be me as well, I clicked the video because I'm an unusually slow reader and ended up getting 7/9 but I am my friend group's spell checker and worked really hard in school to get the best grades in grammar and math because they're the ones you can be "right" in. I'm also in pursuit of an autism diagnosis.
Adhd here as well so ya this test is for totally normal pple
My dad has dyslexia. He struggles with reading and spelling. Growing up, I never thought I was dyslexic because I excelled in reading, writing, and spelling. I'm an avid reader and writer myself, and as a kid I enjoyed growing my vocabulary. I hated math though. I just thought I was bad at the subject. While not officially diagnosed, I do have 7/9 on this. Very interesting to learn!
Officially dyslexia falls under the category of specific learning disability. And within that category you also find dyscalculia. I also have a test video for that on my channel. The too conditions are closely related.
@@ArijeAikedeHaas Thanks! I took that one too and had a lot of indicators as well. Very interesting to know!
My dad also has really bad dyslexia. Because mine was never that bad, I was diagnosed pretty late (around 17 years old). Turns out I was just putting in so much effort I could mask the symptoms well, even from myself.
@@ArijeAikedeHaas So is it Dyslexia or Dyscalculia when I keep getting S and 6 or 3 and E confused.
@@williamjenkins4913dysgraphia might be the word for that. It means you have trouble differentiating alphabets ❤
I’m dyslexic and your test is spot on.
To be honest, I didn't write down my scores but the test was quite fun. Really caught me off guard with the right and left distinctions. I never knew that it could be a sign of dyslexia. I had a hard time with that as a child and even a young teen, now not so much. And over all I did pretty good with number memorizations and pretty much all of the tests expected for the math ones. I always sucked at math.
Having known 2 elite gymnasts who had dyslexia, I suggest that more large-sample testing be done of this. mirror imaging differs from imitation.
@george mira not everyone suffers in the same way. Some dont struggle with direction
Same with direction too!
I never assumed I could have dyslexia but this test made me rethink that. Some of these tasks were really tough, like the differentiating left from right one (i've always struggled with remember what's left and what's right, though I've gotten better over time at it).
The numbers one was ridiculous because of how fast he did it ESPECIALLY the reverse-order one.
Lol yes have to write tht shit down
@@RassionellMaddman ye that's where I paused n looked at the comments
@@RassionellMaddman1❤11¹¹¹¹1😂❤
Yeah, I think the right and left one was also hard because it was reversed on the camera. It messed me up too.
Yep. You had me at “left hand to right shoulder.”I’m 64 and I’ve been in denial for a while. No worries. Now it’s time to sort it. Thanks for these videos. You may just be an answer to my stumbling along all these years. I look forward to your teachings.
This is just Right/Left Confusion. It's fairly common and commonly to do with a disconnection with word and spatial meaning, suspected to be biological in nature, but doesn't automatically point to dyslexia.
I was about the same age when I found out and I sorted it with surgery.
Thank you for this .I am 66 and as a child struggled terribly with all these at school. and all my live.So much so I was initially put into a slow learners class.In my day only boys were categorised as Dyslexic.Girls with the same problems were classed as just dumb.Thankfully in high school I had remedial help from a kind teacher and blossomed academically.Despite years of hard work I still scored 7 out of 9.Thanks so much for your work which will help so many.Good on you.
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
There's a great poem about synesthesia. Do you know "The Mad Gardener's Song" by Lewis Carroll?

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was 7 and to no surprise I got 7/9 on this test. The part where he changed the letter of the word was impossible for me. However, I've learnt to live with my dyslexia and I know where it affects me and worked out coping mechanisms to deal with it in those situations. I've been teaching English for the last 10 years and I'm just about to take over running the English department in my school. So just because someone has dyslexia doesn't mean they still can't achieve academic goals. Oh and spell checker is possibly the greatest invention for people with dyslexia. 😂
That replacing one was surprisingly hard.
Like I could see the word but I wasn't sure how to pronounce it 😅
@@TheArtofThings seriously, for the first word i never even considered associating "worsed" with worst, i just pronounced "pante" as pant. i literally got drain for the last one, not sure how i even got that.. i was so confident when i said drain too
@@sefiirosu I also produced pante as pant, I thought to myself for all of those they weren't real words and it made it difficult.
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.
@@sefiirosu I did the same as you lol 😆 for both of those questions
I got 7/9. But I have no idea how well I’d do without ADD or if it is similar to dyslexia at all.

Thanks for creating this video.

I was diagnosed with "severe" dyslexia as a teen. I clicked on this video with, well, a lot of doubt. I've always been good at math, so I was able to do the subtraction and the repeating of the numbers (in the same order) without issue. The rest I either couldn't do, or had trouble with. 7/9 and an official diagnosis. (PS: I'm 54 and I still confuse lowercase b and d, but I always write in all caps, so it doesn't happen too often anymore.)
Did you pass the number 3 question repeating the 6 digit numbers
I'm great at math but subtraction has always been one of the hardest things for me to do. To the point where its much quicker (instantaneous to near instantaneous) to configure it as an algebraic equation. Thankfully, I'm also good at rote memorization to help lessen the burden.
Print in caps. I do this to. helped loads for people being able to read what I was trying to say as a young lad . Dyslexic top tips 😂
This is something that crosses my mind every now and then. I’ve always been great at math but really struggled with reciting the numbers and reciting them backwards. I could recite the whole times tables, but it took a bit of work, like dusting off my brain gears. My mom has Discalculia. I was always in high level math classes but always worked very slowly. I do have ADHD, so that may have something to do with it though.
Fr same
Do math at the olympiad level, but can't complete in time :(

Holy crap man. I was HORRIBLE with math in school. I just couldn't remember times tables and I think I started in grd.3 and by grd5 I was still having trouble. I had to take extra classes before class to help. And then I had a tutor when I was 12 for grd.9 cause I just couldn't get fractions.
I can memorize numbers going foreword but holy ducking doing them backwards my mind just shut off lmaooo
I had 3
I have adhd and I was thinking this would be incredibly difficult since there are often reports of overlapping symptoms. It seemed like a fun idea so I gave it a go.
The only thing I hesitated/got wrong was the backwards recital. I never forgot the numbers, it’s just 1am and I’m running on 3 hours of sleep. I don’t know why I’m telling the internet this. But I guess I’m surprised at how simple this test is, yet it is highly effective in clinical studies and real world applications? This is extremely intriguing to me right now. Great video!
Well it is simple for you because you (or me) don't have dyslexia. If you have dyslexia your brain will have problems establishing the necessary connections to solve the questions.
randomly popped up on my homepage, just found out im dyslexic 💀
I have been diagnosed with dyslexia and got a 9/9 on this...wow. Don't really know what I was expecting, but it is crazy to think that most people can do things like recite things backwards, visualize how words are spelled, and know their left and right.
I had to get tested again to have accommodations when I went to college. I went through many years of tutoring to get to the point I am at today as someone who likes to both read and write. I started to wonder if I even had it anymore, and got so scared that I would have to continue my education without the accommodations I needed. I went through almost an entire day with a doctor asking questions like these and more. No surprise, I didn't "lose" my dyslexia, I am just usually better at functioning with it.
Anyway I love my brain, and although it may not be the best at some things, it is super creative and I can think of "outside the box" solutions to problems. Keeps life interesting!
I've never gotten an official diagnosis due to cost barriers, but I've always been pretty confident that I'm dyslexic. I got 8/9, so I feel validated. The numbers were pretty much impossible for me, so now I feel like I need to take the dyscalculia test too.
the numbers seemed impossible to me too, and I'm an engineer... I've always had trouble with arithmetics, thank the lord for calculators
this "test" is pretty ridiculous, don't be too alarmed))
same here, makes so much sense now why school work was so difficult for me growing up
@@marios1861 and I always heard teachers say "you won't be able to use a calculator in the real world" and incomes the engineer
@@zack-lk8if Yea, there will never be a case where you will not have a calculator at hand! And honestly, we don't even deal with numbers that much. I use numbers when splitting the bill more than at work, and I work in research...
I actually have a diagnosis but because I learned to read and write okay I kind of doubted my diagnosis but this video made me realise I am truly dyslexic. My friends always judged me because they believed I faked my dyslexia to get extra help during tests so it's nice to know it wasn't all fake.
They don't seem like friends to me
What do I say to all my students: “fair does not mean equal”.
Word of warning for y’all, the 94% accuracy mentioned at the start of the video is something that’s really important to remember! I got 2/9, but I am dyslexic, in fact when I got my diagnosis from an educational psychologist when I was 17 he told me I was statistically the “most” dyslexic person he’s ever likely to diagnose, these type of indicative tests always came back negative for me growing up, but here I am, the needle in the dyslexia pile, never showing up, but the differential between my comprehension and expression abilities are insane, I like to think of myself like the rain man who instead of solving equations just draws silly pictures and runs off 😂
I was diagnosed at age 8 with a "learning disability in the area of reading and language" it took me another 15 years to realize this likely meant I have dyslexia. I scored almost exactly the same as you.
5:12 u said paste but replace the s with a n. It would be pante not paint.
even with brain would be crain. it might sound like it, but doesnt spell crane which could make others confused and think they got it wrong.
I got a 5. The trouble with left and right, as well as having difficulty with 678 x table blew my mind because they were so spot on with issues I've had ever since I was a child.
I literally just can't do 678 times tables. Those are always such a jumble that I always have to anchor a problem around a number I do remember like 36, 49, and 64... and then just subtract or add a number over and over to get the right answer.
Worked-> worsed
Paste->pante
Brain->Crain
Are the second words supposed to be nonsensical?
9/9 and i always got above average marks in most classes and never had many doubts of being dyslexic….. i guess you really do learn something new everyday
Same. I'm like what?? Cuz I did so well in school, but I do mix things up alot and I'd say I failed this test. Or should I say passed if dyslexia is what we're aiming for. I need an objective judge tho.
@@TEWMUCH you people don't understand being dyslexic has absolutely nothing related with your "School" its just a medical condition that makes makes simple stuff like spelling or speaking harder it does not limit your ability to gain knowledge the person taking this test or the one running this channel as he said himself is an MA in Education studies
@decayedd1576 ok thanks for explaining. I understand what u mean.
How did you get here if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve always had above average grades as well straight A’s but I was in speech and intensive reading my entire childhood. They didn’t know why I couldn’t remember words and mispronounced words. I just found out dyslexia runs in my family that why I came here.
Yeah I know I’m not dyslexic, but the part with the numbers completely stumped me 😂 I’ve never been never good at remembering numbers. They leave my brain immediately
Especially with that reverse number, it's impossible, lol...
@4:46 man got me questioning life lmao "worsed" is not a word. The second example is also rly weird, I thought he meant "paced" till I turned on captions and it was "paste" which turned into "pante" but he said it like "paint." So I think this part is kinda messed up but maybe I'm wrong
Yeah those two really screwed me up too. The resulting words are only real by pronunciation but the spelling is all messed up.
@@chezarctica7386 that's so unfair. He should've said that
I, as a non-native english speaker, was also very confused with this part.
@@TheWestDESIGN nothing to do with being native. It was dumb of him
@TheWestDESIGN I, as a native English speaker, was also very confused with this part.
I have a dyslexia diagnosis and got 10/10 on the test. I'm thankful I got tested as a child as I got the help I needed with extra tutoring through out school.
I got 7/9, the 6,7,8 multiplication has always been a problem, and reciting the numbers in reverse was a disaster. I’m 74 y.o. Had reading problems as a child, testing for dyslexia wasn’t a thing when I was a child. My spelling is so bad “spell checker” often doesn’t even have a suggestion. I’m quite talented in mechanical and architectural drafting, and excel at woodworking and metal fabrication.
I had A LOT of trouble with almost every one of the tests. 😂 I just could not say the numbers backwards, impossible for me. Also replacing the letters from the words was difficult. Now I get why I couldn't do the spelling letter by letter exercises when I was in primary school.
I've never had the chance to get a diagnosis but I was pretty sure I was dyslexic just because I can never know which is left or right. Thank you so much for the test, it validated other difficulties that I had but didn't know were due to dyslexia.
I actually have to look at my hands to see what shape my pointer finger and thumb make a L shape...L = left and the other is right 😂 I am 44 and still have trouble with b and d..
@@rachelcooper2170 😂😂 That's such a good idea! I never thought of that ty for the idea
I always just imagine I put my hand over my heart with my right hand as if I was doing the pledge 😆
Just remember this isn't a video to help self diagnosis :)
Eventually after all the gaming I figured out via mouse buttons. Then via driving jokes I got the language part too(I’m multilingual) so now I know left and right in four languages AND I can use it.
The joke goes like this, either you’re driving on the right side of the road or the wrong one.
i think i might just be dumb
Same.. Dang it.
No the whole point of diagnosing dyslexia is to help people know they aren't dumb, their brain just decodes and encodes differently. It doesn't mean less intelligence.
me too!
Same
@@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.
I have ADHD and I got 8/9. I have aphantasia (where you can't create mental images) so I wouldn't be surprised if I also had dyslexia.
Wow! Just stumbled over your channel and watched several of your dyslexia tests. They reminded me of being an 8 year old and going through 3 days of testing to find out I was severely dyslexic.
I had a check in all the boxes of this test...
I'm now 32 years old and a licensed nurse. A profession I was told I would never succeed in, yet was my dream. I struggle where other nurses don't but excel in areas that those same nurse took took years to hone. I revel in my "disability". I am one of kind.
Thank you for making this content! You are amazing!
Much love from the US ❤
Thanks for sharing. I’m wanting to get into nursing myself. I know I have a learning disability. I don’t have anyone formally diagnosed with dyslexia in my family but based off some things I’ve noticed with myself I feel like it’s more than likely that diagnosis.
@@marvyST My best advice is to work in a hospital as an assistant and study pathophysiology on your own time before going to nursing school. Nursing school is very challenging especially for a dyslexic. There is a lot of reading and writing and this will take up a lot of your time. If your dedicated enough and sacrifice a bit of your personal life I have no doubt that you will get through it, reaching your goal.
Remember that nothing worth having comes easy...this is especially true for dyslexics in modern academia.
Thank you for shining your light and perseverance. I'm interested in a dental hygiene position but afraid I'm not smart enough with my dyslexia. However I've been a corporate teacher creating award winning curriculums and teaching difficult content with ease to others with high achievers in classrooms so even tho I know I could do it - its a pushback feel in but reading your post makes me realize I've got what it takes too.
The only two I _really_ struggle with is reversing number orders and left vs right. 6, 7, and 8 times tables always require significantly more thought than any other ones, and I also struggled a lot with replacing letters, but I blame that on the replaced letters not making new words and also thinking that paste was paced :D
Notably though, I do have ADHD and I have always been an exceptional reader, but I don’t read like anyone else I know except my mom. We both just stare at a sentence until it surrenders its meaning. We don’t read individual words.
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".
some of these rely heavily on working memory (reversals and repeatals), so a skilled clinician would need to be able to separate results from something like ADHD or another disorder that heavily impairs working memory.
@@Schoolerino-pj8puI'm actually somebody who has a terrible memory, so this probably makes more sense as to why I struggled on these exact ones 😅
working memory is separate from short and long term memory, working memory is roughly capacity of 30 seconds, and it's what your brain relies on to solve complex tasks. think of it as like your computer RAM capacity, not your hard drive / SD card / SSD. if you don't have enough RAM to load the video file to edit, you can't complete the task. It doesn't matter if you have plenty of storage space to save it for later or load it.@@__toast___
I'm dyslexic and this pinpointed all of my failures so directly. 7/9 for me. I wish someone had known I was dyslexic growing up, I always had trouble with reading like, massive trouble, and I always struggled with math, and was ignored my entire grade school and called lazy and stupid. It wasn't until university that I discovered I had dyslexia and found ways to deal with it in the best way I could. (Audiobooks, Mental math practice, GPT for narrowing down Academic writing, voice to text, etc. And I'm also a designer, the profession with the highest number of dyslexic people.

I am surely dyslectic, and diagnosed at age 12. But had over 6 years of extra classes, treatments and biting my teeth to work hard to reach my double degree after 9 years of universities. Now in my 40ies, I have learned so many tricks and practice that I hardly score bad on this test. But only have issues left with learning a new language.

I did not think I would be dyslexic but here I am with a 8/9 on the test. My father is dyslexic. I also struggled with B & D’s till I was 11. The numbers 2 and 5 always stunted me too
I'm technically dyslexic but vanquished any potential pathologies via early intervention. I was super lucky to have a stay at home mom and she helped me develop a love for reading even while still learning to speak. Grandparents gave me a PC at age 2 with a ton of games I had to learn to install and play myself. Played road trip games reading all signs passing by as quickly as possible.
I'm a speed reader and type accurately at 100+ wpm (higher if really stretching) but scored quite highly on this test (7).
Early intervention, folks, even earlier than you would guess. The sheer mass of practice early on allow for effective masking and indeed "pathologies" of this disorder.
Thank you, have a lovely day.
I alway knew there was something different/wrong about me growing up as i always tried very hard but couldn’t do some of the work properly (didn’t know the multiplication table was dyslexia!). I felt so relieved when i got diagnosed at 17, it was so liberating to know what it was and knew it wasn’t uncommon and therefore there would be tools and tricks to live with it. Thank you for this video, I’m sure it will help others :)
I scored 7/9
ive been researching neurodivergences for myself for a few years now because of my own struggles. i got 8/9. my dad was severely dislexic and i know for fact that a lot of my family is undiagnosed neurodivergent (mostly ADHD, autistic ad dyslexic) its so sad how most of this stuff goes completeley under the radar for AFAB people.

@@walidsarwary almost 18
@Ghostaroni just last question please did you get the number 3 question from this video or you couldn't repeat the numbers please watch this video and tell me if you struggle ???
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.
I was also wondering why there were so many numbers!
My question as well
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.
@@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.
My difficulties here were differentiating left and right - it's really something I have to stop and think about and it's always been something I've struggled with - and saying the numbers in reverse order, more because I couldn't memorize them. The rest was okay.
An interesting, simple and easy test. Thanks for sharing this. I'm sure it will be helpful for many people.
the most hard thing in left or right shoulder is that you dont understand from what pov you should think.Its more like unfinished sentance at this point.
I'm 44 and was oblivious all my life that I was dyslexic until my 9 yrs old daughter stopped progressing at school. We got her diagnosed and that's went it hit me: the Ooohh moment. It just explains everything 😅.

im 1:20 in and im already forcing myself not to hit the skip 5 second button. Not because bad content, i just have adhd, and want to skip things
I am already diagnosed with Dyslexia, but i still wanted to try this test. When we got to the numbers, i kept forgetting every number after getting them told to me, in other words i couldn't keep up with all the number until i just gave up completely and forgot all the numbers. 2:55 and 5:51
Same
I always thought I was stupid or something was wrong with me because I was always slower than everyone. When I was in primary school, I had to go to a special class for those that are slower in education, but honestly that classroom was so much better just because they had air-con and the tables are all new🤭, so I felt special rather than different. Even now at work I struggle with daily task but I can’t make excuses so I have to alway check everything up to 10times more to make sure it’s correct. I was never diagnosed with dyslexia and didn’t know about it till now, I’m 24yrs old now.
I was diagnosed as a child. Taking your test certainly reconfirms my dyslexia diagnosis!
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.
Same. The ones with numbers made my brain pause with incomprehension as to what I was supposed to be doing. Especially the backwards one.😅
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.
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 was diagnosed dyslexic as a young boy but after loads of help and learning different techniques my reading is good and my spelling is better but not brilliant. My punctuation is terrible as you can probably see. But honestly not felling like dyslexia affects me much anymore I thought is pass this test 😂 I didn’t I'm quite clearly still dyslexic and I'm so thankful for it.

@@nonabonn There are different degrees of dyslexia, and it manifests differently for different people.
Hebrew righting system is an Abjad , like Arabic.
That's why it's difficult, one letter may be pronounced 2 different ways and a sound be be spelled 2 or 3 different ways.
1:32 of course I hesitated for a second because it's a reflection so you have to reverse it! 🤔
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
@@Jstaman What's your take on it then, let me hear it
@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.
@@JstamanI assume you're a psychiatrist right?
@FirstSynapse you don't need to be a psychiatrist to know anything about add or adhd. Both were manufactured.
Look up the history, then study the methods of diagnosis. It's the same quack science that prescribed lobotomy for women being too emotional. Or drinking mercury to cure diseases
I don't have any condition. I got 1/9 for the reverse numbers but I got it right in the end. This video has been very educational, thank you!
Never have I thought that I "might" have a learning disorder. I got 6/9 which surprises me because I never struggle at school, in fact I'm doing great than most students. I mostly struggle with simple stuffs like remembering numbers in my head and manipulating them so mental math is a no go. I also noticed that I struggle differentiating left and right from other perspective, no wonder I got lost because I can't tell if I went on the left or right side of the road even though that place was just around my neighborhood.
I don't know if this is also a symptom but I sometimes struggle with instruction. Like in this video, I have to playback several times because my brain can't process what should I do. 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.
In terms of words and letters, I never struggle with it, only when speaking because I always stutter. It might just be bad memory but it is indeed hindering me from time to time.
EDIT: I also do this for fun and thinking that there's no way I might have dyslexia, but then here you go lol
I got 7/9 and i'm not sure if I'm dyslexic or not, but this video reminded me of all the struggles I had in primary school to my highschool. Till this day, I have a lot of trouble doing basic math counts, distinguish left and right, remembering words or numbers that are thrown at me, etc. I'll see if one of these days I can get a diagnosis. Despise all that, I gotta say that the test was fun and so was the video. Good job :)
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.
That is a very good tip with making an L with your fingers. I never thought of that wow
@@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.
I had trouble but I got a little help from being left handed and also got a scar on my right hand
Wow, I’d never really looked into dyslexia before, I know that I frequently scramble letters inside words when I write but this test was absurdly accurate to my issues. Like mixing up b and d, and having issues with the order of the months, it’s honestly mind-boggling I haven’t looked this up before…
Happy to help! It’s very common
I was recently told that i had adhd. I did some research and found out from one of your old videos that dyslexia can be mistaken for adhd, and now here i am. I got 8/9 as my score😭

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
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.
i am dyslexic and i related to EVERYTHING in the video. It was fun in a way to just see someone else having a hard time with right and left and the months of the year just like me! I got 8/9 (just as the video nothing on the 3:d) I've had the diagnosis for 2 years and I - myself, didn't know it before then even though all my friends knew... LAMO
Some of these are things I think most people would have a problem with; such as the letter replacement and counting numbers in order backwards.Sorry, but I take this with a grain of salt.
I was never diagnosed, but my son was diagnosed and I see what I used to struggle with in him , I'm happy we got him evaluated tho 🙂
Good dad 😊
Interesting how it tests mathematical knowledge. I questioned my possibility for dyslexia but only got a 2/7, with one of the marks for having a parent who likely has dyslexia, and the other being the number reversal test as I hesitated once. Thanks for the video!
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.
Did you pass the number 3 question repeating the 6 digit numbers
I didn’t think I had dyslexia…I got 8/9

Funny how it doesn’t even have a I in paste.
Yeah I’m confused by this too, how tf is paste into paint there’s 3 new letters 😂
Never had an official diagnosis, but I also never suspected anything as I was growing up. My best friend had more obvious signs, so I think that's why I figured the trouble I had was normal. We both exceeded in English class, however. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I realized I probably have dyslexia. I also have ADHD, and my brother is autistic, all of which I understand are closely related. I got 7/9. Possibly 8. Depends how much hesitancy is required to really mark it as a hesitancy. 😂
Thank you for putting these videos out into the world. They have changed my life! I thought dyslexia was just seeing words backwards. So I never even thought that is what I was struggling with. I’m in my mid 30’s and still have trouble remembering which is my left and right. I also get b’s and p’s mixed up. Only 2 of the questions in this video were a no for me. Thank you for this resource!
8/9
I was actually diagnosed with dyslexia back when I was a child but it was disregarded by my parents when I changed schools and they said it doesn't apply anymore. Byebye extra time.
