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.

This was a study in the UK where 92% of people use public healthcare, so I doubt it.

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

So, it's a super power?

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?

Edit: took one. There is a demographics questionnaire where you can list whether you have disabilities, dyslexia is in there (but not Autism??)... So it is self-selected. And on unrelated note, I am apparently in the 1% that has a strong automatic preference for physically disabled rather than not-disabled people (facepalm

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

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

mmmm no that's a perfectly reasonable thing to judge people for

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

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

More like they don't care if you're lfet or rihgt.
