Dyslexia - What MBTI Are You?

If you are dyslexic, what MBTI are you?
 
#4 ·
INFP.

It's served me really well. I had so much struggle reading when I was younger, but worked really hard through it. Now, I can read perfectly fine, but I'm very good at picking up on the details because I have to pay so much careful attention to the words. I have a few graduate degrees and have published academic articles. I've told very few people this, but overcoming dyslexia has been one of favourite accomplishments and I take a lot of pride in it.

@dlb I find this really interesting. I also am dyslexic and most people don't know this about me. I have several graduate degrees and do research, however to get to this stage it has involved me creating a habitual check/re-check response almost when reading and writing. I am much more careful than I think I would otherwise have been which helps me to succeed I think. When I am not working and being a bit lazy (reading for pleasure, traveling), my partner will notice that I have a name wrong of a character in a book or read road signs wrong.

Really interesting.

Can you explain what you mean? I am assuming that those who didn't vote are not dyslexic. I am curious to see if dyslexia is over-represented among certain types. Obv. anecdotally:)

My ISTJ grandpa had dyslexia. He also had PTSD as a result of his service in the Korean War. Neither of those stopped him from becoming a brilliant engineer.

According to my research, dyslexia occurs when a lobe in the right brain handles tasks that are typically handled by the corresponding lobe in the left brain. Is that correct?
