📈 This image of a Dyslexic Thinkers ‘spiky profile’ illustrates our #dyslexic ‘superpower’ and #dyslexic ‘kryptonite’ perfectly. It is a powerful example of why #skills based hiring is SO essential for #DyslexicThinkers. And why it’s SO important for every workplace to learn about #DyslexicThinking, because if they don’t, they’ll miss out on some of the best minds. 📦 You see as dyslexics we don’t do average or standard well. We just don’t fit into traditional boxes. ⬆️ We score very high in some things (often in the top percentile)… ⬇️ and very low in others (often in the bottom percentile). This is known as a 'spiky profile'📈 For example: 😊 71% of dyslexics are great at communicating (verbal reasoning) - but 89% are poor spellers (working memory) 🔎 8 out of 10 dyslexics are above average at lateral thinking (questioning), but 9 in 10 struggle getting thoughts on paper (organisation). 💡 Learn more in our free 60 min course on LinkedIn Learning 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eBecWq8P
