Dyslexia Quiz | Truth About Dyslexia

Did you struggle in school?*

School is not a place where people with Dyslexia traditionally succeed. You may have struggled to copy text off of a board, with reading, spelling, writing or even maths. You may have grown up feeling stupid - when you are not.

Yes

Sometimes

Retaining information from reading or listening is tough?*

Dyslexics with time can overcome reading issues. But can still struggle to retain information they read or listen to. Short term memory can be a challenge for us.

Yes

Sometimes

Do you have low self-esteem?*

Many dyslexics have low self-esteem, especially adults who were not diagnosed early. Due to struggles with certain subjects or life skills you can be made to feel stupid, or less than others - which is not the case.

Yes

Sometimes

You don't always say the right thing?*

Your brain works much faster than you mouth. This means you can find it hard to express what you are thinking or want to say. Sometimes you say things that come across the wrong way. You can often put your foot in your mouth unintentionally.

Yes

Sometimes

Do you struggle with your purpose or why?*

Dyslexics commonly struggle with words that don't associate with something in the real world. You can imagine a roaring fire or a dolphin swimming but you can't get a picture for abstract ideas like order, consequence or success.

Yes

Sometimes

Do you tend to daydream a lot even if others don't realize it?*

You may be in a conversation but your mind has drifted off into your thoughts. Others might not be able to tell, but you have already solved the problem and are waiting for them to finish the question. You have a hard time staying focused especially with tasks you find difficult or boring.

Yes

Sometimes

Are you a perfectionist?*

Many dyslexics are perfectionists and expect a lot of themselves. In your mind you can make everything perfect but in reality it is harder. It means much of what you do does not live up to your own high standards.

Yes

Sometimes

Do you always want things quicker?*

Dyslexics struggle to grasp time and timing. As dyslexics can get lost in their mind, where everything can happen in an instant, they can grow frustrated when it does not happen that quickly in reality.

Yes

Sometimes

Do you mimic to fit in?*

Dyslexics do things differently which can lead to viewing situations differently and sometimes feeling disconnected. As a problem solver you can see what others do around you and copy them to fit in. But it does not always feel like it is who you actually are.

Yes

Sometimes

Are you highly intuitive?*

Although you may not always trust your intuition or 'street smarts', you have a gut instinct that will often be right. You can usually judge a person's character accurately from little information.

Yes

Sometimes

You are easily stressed and overwhelmed in some situations?*

Your dyslexia can be worse some days and better some days. This means some days situations can overwhelm you. Not being able to rely on yourself can cause you extra stress. Uncertainty and doubting ourselves and our abilities can make us very anxious.

Yes

Sometimes

You remember faces, not names?*

Ever had that feeling of knowing a face but not being able to pick the name? This is common - your visual memory is very powerful if you are dyslexic, but when it comes to names/words you will struggle to connect the dots.

Yes
