Same. Although I find it funny that it says your mind is "strange" if you can read it...when 55 out of 100 can. Last time I checked, that's still the majority.

Exactly what I was going to say. hah.

But this (or something like it) has been around the 'net for at least a decade. I remember reading something like it about a decade ago! haha.

The 55/100 bit isn't really true. We did that in psychology and anyone that is literate and knows what the words are originally (ex: if you don't know the word strange you won't understand sgtrane) can do it!

Hmm. Does that include people with learning abilities, out of curiosity?

I assume you meant learning disabilities, but the answer is still "I'm not sure". We didn't look at the actual study itself, we just talked about it when we were talking about visual perception cues.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that it would depend on the specific disability, what area of the brain it effects, the level of the disability (mild, moderate, severe), that sort of thing.

I'm not sure who the subjects were in the study either. If the study only included literate individuals with no learning disabilities, we wouldn't know that data! :D

Hahahaha, I love that thing. Back in the days of evinco yore, Megan had an encounter with Dyslexic Delights, and that's what I borrowed the form of scrambling from, so that that way the entry was still sort of readable.
