    Understanding High Scores (39-52)

    Your score is {totalScore143}, which falls in the high range (39-52).

    Score Breakdown

    0–38: Low prevalence of dyslexia traits, suggesting no or occasional challenges with word recognition, spelling, or reading fluency

    39-52: High prevalence of dyslexia traits, indicating a significant prevalence of challenges related to reading, decoding, spelling, and writing.

    Your Score Suggests:

    • A high number of dyslexia-related traits that may impact reading fluency, spelling, and written expression.

    • Difficulty with word recognition, decoding, and reading comprehension.

    • Tendency toward frequent spelling errors, word reversals, or transposing letters and words, which can affect daily tasks and work performance.

    When to Explore Dyslexia Clinically

    Scores in the high range may suggest the need for further exploration of how dyslexic traits impact reading and learning.

    Dyslexia traits may require support when they are accompanied by:

    • Persistent struggles with reading, even with adequate instruction and practice.

    • Frequent difficulty spelling words correctly, with reversals or transpositions.

    • Challenges with organizing written thoughts, leading to problems with writing tasks or assignments.

    The Overlap with Other Conditions

    Dyslexia frequently co-occurs with conditions like:

    • ADHD
       

    Next Steps

    If this information resonates, seeking support from a dyslexia-informed professional can provide clarity, self-understanding, and helpful strategies for overcoming challenges.

    Our team of specialists is ready to help you take the first step toward self-discovery and support!

    Understanding Low Scores (0-38)

    Your score is {totalScore143}, which falls into the low score range (0-38).

    Score Breakdown

    0–38: Low prevalence of dyslexia traits, suggesting no or occasional challenges with word recognition, spelling, or reading fluency

    39-52: High prevalence of dyslexia traits, indicating a significant prevalence of challenges related to reading, decoding, spelling, and writing.

    Your Score Suggests:

    • No to low prevalence of dyslexia-related traits, indicating a general ability to read and write within typical ranges without significant or persistent difficulty.

    • Few to occasional challenges with word decoding, spelling, or reading comprehension.

    • An ability to complete reading and writing tasks with limited need for accommodations or interventions.

    When Low to Mild Traits Are a Strength

    Low scores on the dyslexia spectrum highlight abilities that can support personal and professional success. These strengths include:

    • The ability to read and write at a level that meets most everyday demands.

    • Reading fluency and comprehension that are generally within typical ranges for your age group.

    • A minimal need for accommodations or support in reading and writing tasks.

    The Overlap with Other Conditions

    While low scores generally indicate minimal dyslexia traits, it’s worth considering whether any of the following are present:

    • Occasional struggles with reading comprehension or spelling, especially with unfamiliar or longer words.

    • Stress or anxiety that may contribute to temporary difficulties with reading or writing tasks.

    • The possibility of other factors, such as mild attention-related issues or slow processing speed, that may affect reading performance.

    Next Steps

    If you experience occasional challenges with reading, writing, or spelling in certain situations, exploring strategies to improve these skills could be beneficial.

    Our team of specialists is here to help you build on your strengths and address any areas of concern. Take the next step toward understanding your unique cognitive profile today!
