If you change your layout to DORVAK the longest word you'll get is 'cry' 

 

 

It's DVORAK actually - it's a great layout, and faster than a 'qwerty' keyboard and easy to learn.

Where your standard keyboard has the 'asdfg' keys the DVORAK keyboard has 'aoeui'.

Laughing aside, I've just taken this test and scored 170


What does your score mean?

  • A negative score (less than zero) = Very low possibility of dyslexia
  • 0 – 75 = Moderate possibility of dyslexia
  • 76 – 150 = Strong possibility of dyslexia
  • Above 150 = Very strong possibility of dyslexia
