In 1987, John Mullin was chief administrator at a large medical clinic when a doctor who worked closely with him suggested Mullin be tested for dyslexia. She had become suspicious after noticing that Mullin rarely responded to memos until verbally asked and then always asked what the memos said. She also noted his tendency to use varying word pronunciations. Shortly thereafter Mullin, then 43, first learned he has extreme dyslexia.
His college major was chemistry, which entailed less reading and more watching. He talked his way into graduate business school by persuading the dean to give him a chance at one semester to prove himself despite extremely low reading test scores. “We agreed and shook hands, but the dean didn’t think I could make it,” he said. “As my parents suggested, I never let my obstacle stop me.” Mullin graduated in 1968.
