8. Trump is dyslexic without the empathy capacity and big picture. He does

well on is tests because of spatial reasoning and recognizing metaphors (he is always inventing metaphors that have already been invented) and the like. He may have been given the test you describe that had few language questions on it. And spinning the test around is cheating is it not? You are supposed to rotate those spacial questions around in your head. No? Dyslexics have those high and lows in intelligence. Sometimes the work around to an area of low strength gives you a high reasoning ability in something scientific, business or politics related. All the recent GOP presidents are dyslexic since Reagan. Good at counter punching and pulling down the human fictions of others (norms - political images). Plus dyslexics learn in 3D not in prose or 2D. Why Trump was good at building and marketing since he had physically been doing those things since the 60s. Probably Why he is bad a finance. Why he is clueless about government as he has no history in government or experience in policy. If he stuck around presidency for 10-20 years (Lord help us) he might be better at it. Don't know how much of a sociopath he is but he and the GOP are certainly using alot of the tools of one. He is a liar for sure. Narcissistic so much that he can't see the forrest for the trees most dyslexics can. And careless...incredibly careless.

Don't know about my own IQ. I assume I have strengths and weaknesses like any dyslexic. Sciences, politics and business are in my families DNA.
