Adult Dyslexia Quiz

Have you ever felt dyslexia might be affecting your daily life, but all the tests you’ve seen focus on your childhood? You’re not alone. Many assessments ignore the real-world challenges we face as adults, so we’ve created something refreshingly different. This new quiz is designed to highlight what adult dyslexia looks like in everyday scenarios. This episode shares the thinking behind the quiz and explains how you can help shape it.

We dive into why adult experiences matter just as much as childhood traits. It’s about opening up conversation, igniting a bit of self-awareness, and taking the sting out of the word “dyslexia.” If you’ve ever wondered why reading, memory, or organisation can feel tougher than it should, this is the resource for you.

Why We Built a New Adult Dyslexia Quiz

Dyslexia shows up in ways we don’t always expect. We might find it hard to remember names, follow combinations of instructions, or read long paragraphs without zoning out. Traditional childhood-focused tests often miss these grown-up signs. That’s where our quiz steps in.

We wanted something that speaks to our adult experiences, not just our childhood struggles. It’s short, mobile-friendly, and encourages you to think about things like work stress, daily routines, and even your sense of time.

“This quiz is all about reflection, clarity, and understanding of your real-world experiences,” says Stephen.

We’ve kept it simple to reduce anxiety. You can focus on the one or two traits that resonate most, instead of being overwhelmed by an intense list of questions. Every question points back to how dyslexia can appear in ordinary life, so if you’re nodding along, there’s a good chance you might recognise some of these patterns.

Spotting Real-World Adult Traits

Adult dyslexia doesn’t just mean mixing letters or flipping numbers. It can look like:

• Repeatedly misplacing important items like keys and phones
• Difficulty keeping up with work emails due to reading fatigue
• Mistakes with timetables and appointments
• A scattered mind when faced with too many tasks at once
• Often feeling “not good enough” because of small but frequent oversights

Our quiz is designed to highlight these scenarios. It’s about helping you see that certain quirks may not be laziness, carelessness, or forgetfulness. Instead, they could be dyslexia’s hidden sides, which many of us have been living with for years without realising it.

A Community Project

This quiz is a work in progress, but we didn’t want to wait until it was perfect to share it. We see it as a community-led tool, so your feedback is gold. If there’s a question that seems off or something you’d like to add, we want to hear from you. That’s how this will become a living resource.

Joining our Facebook community is a great way to connect. You’ll find others who’ve been through very similar uncertainties, and they’re keen to help. Imagine the relief of realising you’re not the only one who’s struggled with reading job instructions or mixing up meeting times.

You’ll also find content on truthaboutdyslexia.com that digs deeper into adult learning differences. It’s packed with stories, hacks, and insights that can help you navigate the dyslexic way of thinking with more ease and confidence.

Next Steps for Clarity and Confidence

Getting curious about dyslexia is the first step. Whether you’re exploring it for yourself, or you’re a partner wanting to support someone else, the simple act of taking this quiz could lift a weight off your shoulders. It can be comforting to learn there’s a real reason for those experiences.

And remember, clarity is the biggest gift here. You learn what works for you and what doesn’t. Small shifts in how you organise your day or communicate with others can make a surprisingly big difference. Even just realising you’re not “slow” or “scattered” can boost your confidence in a flash.

If you want a place to discuss these insights, jump into our Facebook group. We’d love to hear what the quiz brought up for you—lightbulb moments, frustrations, or anything in between.
