DAST: very severe difficulties (—) were recorded in the tasks of Rapid Naming and Phonemic Segmentation, while serious problems (–) were pointed out in One Minute Reading, Two Minute Spelling, and Nonverbal Reasoning, respectively. Noticeable problems (-) were observed in Postural Stability, Backwards Span, Nonsense Passage, and Verbal Fluency. The “At Risk” Quotient (>1.0) indicates that GA is strongly at risk of dyslexia. MMPI: profile of the scores on all of the MMPI scales. The patient obtained low T-scores in two validity (L and K) and two clinical scales (D and Hy), while moderate T-scores were recorded in one validity (F) and eight clinical scales (Hs, Pd, Mf, Pa, Pt, Sc, Ma, and Si). The two-point code type was determined by the highest two scales (shown in bold). T-scores were moderately elevated for Psychasthenia and Mania scale; however, none of the clinical scales showed elevations above 70.
