Question #3: You have been diagnosed with dyslexia.

Dyslexia means you have difficulty processing written information. Words may float off the page. Reading can be torture. You are just as smart or smarter than anybody else, but your eyes and your brain don’t seem to communicate when it comes to writing. Half-bloods see levels of reality that other children just don’t see. In the case of writing, the half-blood’s brain is hard-wired for Ancient Greek, which causes modern languages to get scrambled as the half-blood tries to process the information.

Question #4: You have experienced things that you cannot explain.

This need not be as dramatic as a sea monster rearing out of the ocean or a policeman growing horns in front of your eyes, though both of these have been reported. Perhaps you have seen a window shatter for no reason or heard a shot or explosion that cannot be explained. Perhaps you have observed an adult acting strangely, then had this adult later deny he or she did anything unusual. These might be signs that you have seen through the Mist – the veil that keeps regular mortal eyes from perceiving monstrous forces at work. The more you glimpse through the Mist, the better the odds that you have Olympian blood.

Answer:

Question #5: You frequently experience déjà vu.

Because one of their parents is immortal, half-bloods perceive time differently than regular mortals. This can lead to the feeling that time is slowing down (especially in the presence of a monster, such as your painfully boring earth science teacher) or speeding up (such as when playing capture-the-flag or being chased through the Wal-Mart parking lot by hellhounds). You may have the feeling that you’ve had an experience before, even though you know it’s the first time. For demigods, these sensations can be related to their foretold destinies. Déjà vu is a sign that you have crossed some milestone in your fate. Were you at Half Blood Hill, this would be an indication you need to consult the Oracle.
