Adult Dyslexia Quiz

Ever wondered if you tick enough of the boxes for dyslexia, even though you’ve grown past the usual school-age assessments? If you’re an adult who’s been feeling that sense of “there’s something more going on,” this new quiz could help you gain clarity. In today’s conversation, we introduce a quick, mobile-friendly dyslexia quiz developed for adults who suspect they might have traits often missed in childhood.

We also chat about why adult dyslexia is so different from what we’re taught in school. The aim is to spark awareness, reduce anxiety, and help you feel confident about tackling daily life with a clear understanding of your dyslexia profile.

Why We Created This Quiz

Most dyslexia tests focus on kids. By the time you’re an adult, certain traits can get hidden behind coping strategies you’ve built over the years. That’s why we thought, “Hang on, there’s a gap here.” So we put together a simple dyslexia quiz, which you can find at truthaboutdyslexia.com, specifically for adults. It’s not your typical school-like test full of fancy words. It’s relaxed, it’s quick, and it’s designed with real life in mind.

It won’t diagnose you on the spot, but it will shed light on typical adult dyslexia characteristics. If you’ve been feeling unsure or anxious, the quiz might nudge you toward that “aha” moment, where you realise you’re not alone and there are good reasons behind the way your brain is wired.

Building It with Simplicity in Mind

We want you to get insights fast, without complicated instructions or a dozen pages of forms. That’s why the quiz is mobile-friendly. Take it on the bus, on your lunch break, or even while you’re winding down in the evening. It’s meant to fit around your lifestyle, not the other way around.

We’re also very keen on feedback. If you try it and think, “Hey, this bit was confusing,” or “I’d love more detail here,” then let us know. We created this quiz for the dyslexia community, so it only gets better when we hear from you.

“It’s not just about ticking boxes on a test, it’s about seeing yourself more clearly and understanding the support you need.”

Joining the Community Project

The quiz is just step one. We’re inviting everyone, dyslexic or supporting a dyslexic loved one, to be part of this community project. Head over to the Adult Dyslexia Facebook Group and share your quiz experience. We’ve set up this space for open chats about adult dyslexia, where you can compare notes, exchange tips, and even form lasting friendships.

Our goal is to reduce anxiety and build confidence, so that the community feels empowered. No matter where you’re starting from, you have support. You might discover you’re not the only one who opens the fridge and forgets why you’re there, or whose mind wanders off mid-sentence. Sometimes just knowing others share your experiences can help calm that sense of isolation.

How This Helps Adults with Dyslexia

Adult dyslexia doesn’t always look like it did when we were younger. You might notice trouble with reading long documents, or you may find you second-guess your words in an email. Perhaps you can’t remember directions to that new café without writing them down. These are everyday realities that can chip away at your confidence if you don’t recognise them as part of dyslexia.

By identifying specific traits through a dyslexia quiz, you can start putting strategies in place to bring more order, clarity, and self-assurance to your life. If you discover you’ve got strong spatial thinking but struggle to focus on smaller details, you can use that knowledge to adjust your daily routine. Recognising your traits means you can give yourself a break where you need it, and use your strengths where you shine.

• Get Clarity: Pinpoint what’s behind those everyday struggles
• Gain Confidence: Know that you’re not making excuses, you’re learning how you operate
• Reduce Anxiety: Feel less stressed when you see your unique thinking style as an asset
• Find Solutions: Discover tips and tools that suit you better

What’s Next for the Quiz

We’re still refining the quiz, so your insights and ideas matter a lot. Let us know if you found any questions unclear, or if you think something’s missing. Together, we can develop a tool that truly supports adults with dyslexia. We want you to be able to say, “This relates to my life right now.”

Once you’ve taken the quiz and joined the community, feel free to invite someone who might benefit. It could be a friend with dyslexia or a partner who wants to understand what’s really going on when you zone out during movie night. This is bigger than just you or me. We’re laying the groundwork for a future where adult dyslexia is recognised, respected, and supported.
