Dyslexia is a condition that some 10 % of the human population are born with. Dyslexic people's eyes see stuff the same as everybody else, but the signals that the eyes send to your brain are interpreted differently. This generally shows up in reading skills, seeing a written word, instantly going from the word to the thought that it represents and able to say the word, as with reading aloud.

Non-dyslexics accomplish that quite easily. Dyslexics learn differently and should be taught in ways appropriate to their particular dyslexic condition in order to be able to transition quickly between symbols such as letters and numbers and the thoughts and meanings behind them.

If enough symptoms are found, then the complete test is in order. The full test checks the subject's capability to see, interpret what he or she is seeing and react appropriately. Simply speaking it tests for any effects of dyslexia on that subject's abilities.
