This dyslexia test can be an excellent start to discovering whether or not you have dyslexia. It is used for a broad age range, including dyslexic adults. With this test, most adults are correctly identified as either dyslexic or non-dyslexic. While it does not replace an official diagnosis, this dyslexia test can be the first step in finding out something new about yourself. Employers are required to treat dyslexics fairly and make reasonable adjustments in many places over the world. So testing for dyslexia can be worthwhile also as an adult.

🙋🏼‍♂️ My name is Arije, and I am a dyslexic with an MA in Education Studies. I aim to share all my tips for learning, coping, teaching, and more on my channel. For dyslexics, educators, and parents alike, I want to make videos that inform and inspire you to reframe dyslexia.

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

  • Never thought I could be dyslexic and I did this test for fun... I got 7/9
  • @diluzo
    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.
  • @Crocinator_404
    The moment he said "recite these 6 numbers back to me in order/reverse" I thought to myself: welp this is where I die
  • @tarkua1
    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 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.
  • @zel3535
    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.
  • @user-vr8hy5ss2g
    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.
  • 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.
  • @mayad4665
    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.
  • @Isometrix116
    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.
  • @owleye4510
    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 ❤
  • 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!
  • @_Shrimp_lover
    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
  • @celeusis
    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.
  • @namanthacker
    Thank you for making this video. I wishe you best in your life brother!
  • @bookwormx526
    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
  • 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.
  • @mutahira
    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
  • @itritwaqas167
    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 👍
