    I got curious and wanted to see what method they are using: I believe they are using data from this portal? https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/selectatest.html

    Looks like anyone can take this! But I guess that also means… did the dyslexics/dyscalculics self-select themselves?

    They don’t care whether you’re left or right.

        They also don’t like when there’s 5 of you, but then 2 people leave.

        Dyslexics have trouble telling their left from their right. It was a joke…

    I wonder if it’s pre-built with those conditions or if it’s because people with those conditions are going to be extra careful and objective in how they gather information because they’re aware of their limitations.

    Either way, it’s a cool thing to happen

      Could also be a correlation due to people who actually get diagnosed with dyslexia/dysgraphia being more likely to live in places that are more affluent or with better mental healthcare.

      That would tend to correlate with generally more accepting populations.

      It suggests that they’re less likely to categorize social groups.
