Online Dyslexia Tests – What Are Your Options?

When I first created this site a couple years ago, my goal was to help those suffering from dyslexia to find a proper diagnosis without having to pay hundreds of dollars to have their doctor/psychologist say: “You’re dyslexic.” I think by posting this information, I’ve come one step closer to accomplishing that goal of providing quality feedback and direction on how you can receive a proper diagnosis without breaking the bank.

As of now, there are really only 2 (was 3) places online to test for dyslexia. I’ve listed them in order of popularity and my personal opinion about which is best.

1. Am I Dyslexic

This online dyslexia test is designed for persons 16 years and older. The great thing about this test is that you can run it in right in your browser, so you don’t have to wait for it to get shipped or pay shipping costs. Here are some of it’s highlights:

  • Data has already been collected from thousands of individuals
  • Receive accurate results immediately – the test takes ~1/2 hour to complete
  • The test was created and has been developed by highly regarded psychologists and academic instructors
  • Not just a checklist of symptoms – results will depend on your performance
  • Receive detailed results and advice on what to do next
  • It’s safe and secure
  • Costs MUCH less (49.99) than a one-on-one assessment
  • Click Here or on the icon to purchase and take the test immediately

2. Dyslexia Online Assessment

Dyslexia.com Home Page This is a free online assessment which has been provided by Ron Davis’s Reading Research Council. It is as series of 41 questions that is designed to test some areas that may need further assessment. You might find it valuable but to be honest it seems like more of a checklist of symptoms than a diagnostic test. For example, a question might be “Does the person have any musical or athletic talents” to which the results will tell you that “the person is talented in these areas: music, sports, etc….” which really isn’t too helpful. You may or may not find it helpful, but since it is free, you’re not out anything except for time. It seems more geared around helping diagnosis dyslexia at an early age.  It also appears to be more of a way to get you interested in enrolling in their dyslexia correction program.

3. Dyslexia-Test.com

This site used to provide at home dyslexia tests for children ages 7-16 and adults. Whereas the above tests could be taken in your browser, this test was shipped to your home. I really don’t know much about this test, other than it is no longer available, and the site doesn’t say why. There is a message that says “we regret to say that our testing service is temporarily suspended.” The fees on these tests seemed fairly outrageous, with the child’s test costing $599 with shipping and the adult test costing a whopping $799!  It is interesting that they say that their fees are kept very affordable, when comparing them to rates a specialist would charge. I can’t help but wonder how much a specialist is charging!
