In regards to the Self Medical Test, if I wrote down that I have dyspraxia and slight dyslexia under cognitive and mental disabilities, could my application get denied? should I not mention anything about it? The only problem from dyspraxia, that I have today are is that I can't write in small writing for a very long period of time. In regards to dyslexia, I have never had any big problem with it, cause I am only slightly dyslexic. Will they test for dyspraxia or dyslexia?
Regardless, if I mention anything about this, will I get denied?
in regards to abusing drugs and alcohol, I stated that I drink alcohol, but I am not addicted. I never said anything about weed, which I have done in the past, but I haven't done it in a while. so i didn't mention anything about weed. is this a good idea?
any feed back in regards to these issues would be great!

You should not mention dyspraxia or dyslexia under cognitive and mental disabilities. They aren't as open minded with regards to mental/cognitive disabilities over here and it raises a red flag. Could this get your application denied? Possibly yes. If your disabilities don't bother you and won't hinder your ability to do your job you would be better off not mentioning it. No they won't test for it.

It is an IQ test.

If you are foolish enough to answer yes to drugs, alcohol or mental health issues on the self medical then you don't get a job/visa.
