This genetic difference in an individual\u2019s ability to learn and process information gives dyslexics a pattern of valuable strengths, referred to as Dyslexic Thinking skills. Dyslexic Thinking is an approach to problem solving, assessing information, and learning that involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pattern recognition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spatial reasoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lateral thinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interpersonal communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how to nurture and empower Dyslexic Thinking is fundamental to the fabric of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rethinking-human-intelligence\">Rethinking human intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that dyslexic thinkers are highly sought after by employers, especially as we enter the fifth Industrial Revolution, a phase of industrialization where humans can use AI to create more sustainable, human-centric solutions. Dyslexics excel in creative thinking, complex problem solving, and effective communication, making them ideal contributors in this era.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/01-Dyslexic-Thinking-skills-819x1024.webp\" alt=\"Decorative.

These are skills dyslexics naturally possess but aren&#8217;t measured by traditional education and workplace tests which instead focus on dyslexic challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this report, Made By Dyslexia advocates for a shift in how we define intelligence.

The headline research from the report reveals that one of the world\u2019s largest recruitment firms, Randstad Enterprise, finds that Dyslexic Thinking skills are the most in-demand skills in every job, across all sectors, globally. Yet, despite this, outdated views on intelligence remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same report, global research with <a href=\"https:\/\/today.yougov.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouGov<\/a> found that although 73% of people recognize that problem-solving is a good indicator of intelligence, nearly half still believe that accuracy of reading, spelling, punctuation, and grammar are also key signifiers of intelligence. Traditional assessments typically disadvantage dyslexic thinkers, whose strengths areas aren\u2019t well-measured by standardized tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, just 6% of global respondents believed that scoring highly in exams was the best indicator of intelligence, with only 5% believing high scores on psychometric tests are a strong indication of intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/03-Made-By-Dyslexia-report-infographic.webp\" alt=\"Decorative.
