Calling all synesthetes!

[cleolinda]

This is going to take some explaining, so I'll go ahead and throw it out here on its own right now: heyorion is looking for some synesthetes to take a battery of online tests ("All the info I need from people is the synaesthesia battery completed, their age, sex and mother tongue. Sadly, I can't offer any payment, but people get to see their own results

Huh, I've never heard of the time-setting synaesthesia, but I definitely picture timelines (or at least *feel* them, when I concentrate I can't really see them enough to explain them). I'll definitely have to check that out, I guess. :)

Does it count if China is green and Spain is yellow?

[cleolinda]

I would think so, hee.

England is mostly brown with some greyish stuff in there, too. :D

I always see years as sheets of (paper? plastic?) that stretch from left (Jan) to right (Dec) and each year is connected to the next and previous; is this in any way what they're looking for?

And Wednesday doesn't have it's own color.

Hmm, that could be. Although it kind of sounds like they want two specific kinds of synesthetes--I wonder if you could go back to her (?) original comment and ask her?

So do I! *blink* Huh.

All the days are different shades of gray for me. On a yellow background.

I do something really similar, only my mental calendar goes from September to August (which I think has to do with an old teacher who used to have calendar months hanging in our classroom, starting with the beginning of the schoolyear), and then just loops around and begins again. Also, for some reason, in my head it goes forward but it leans to the left.

What if your synesthesia involves only a blending of color, sound, emotion, physical sensation, and temperature?

[brightlotusmoon]

Cool, thanks!

i always wished i had Synesthesia; it sounds so fascinating.
:D and since i'm a highly visual person i think it'd be pretty cool.

I think my favorite form might be hearing music to color though. that seems pretty awesome. or horrible.. depending. i'd just go stare at Rothko's all day long.
