General results from this questionnaire.
On the questionnaire as a whole (ie. all 20 items):
60% of people gave no more than four YES response
90% of people gave no more than eight YES responses

indicator of a difficulty. The items ticked should be compared with the 'best twelve' shown above. Reference: Michael Vinegrad: A revised Dyslexia Checklist. Educare, No 48 March 1994. This questionnaire was completed by 679 adults divided into the following groups: Students enrolled on BA & BSc degree courses. 57% Students enrolled on Certificate and Access courses. 7% A-Level students. 15% Non-student adults. 21% The age range was 18 to 68 and the proportion of men and women was approximately equal. The sample contained 32 known dyslexic individuals. A statistical procedure involving discriminant function analysis, a factor analysis and a series of t-tests was carried out. The objective was to identify those items on the questionnaire that best discriminated between dyslexic and non-dyslexic individuals.
