Um... lexical synesthesia is where you hear sounds and taste things... so this is not a very accurate test. Try grapheme synesthesia, that's where numbers and letters are colored.
Yes I do, I am a synesthete I didn't find matching colour for some letters and numbers with the test. But all the letters and numbers should not be only black. The different numbers have different colours, for example for me: 1=black, 2=pink, 3=white and so on. Letters are the same, A=maroon, B=green. In my case when I hear the numbers or letters the colour simply appear in my head. Well, you can say inside my head is pretty colourful..lol.
a big nope for me! tht sucks but the strange thing is i dont see the numbers in different colors but i can match them up with what kind of color would fit them best like the five should clearly be a cobalt blue (which is my favorite color) or maybe a saphire and my G is a dark almost black green
I have Personification Synesthesia. It's the only reason I've gotten so far in math....
Are you sure only 1 in 1 million have it?? Because I know a few people w/it.....
thanks! :)
Um... Could you add a wider range of colors? 7 is a reddish vermillion(for me), but the orange isn't right and red isn't close enough. This is going to give me a headache! That's pretty cool to know though... And H and everything(almost)
I'm glad that's how you feel! I made this project to help people realize if they're a synesthete, and if they aren't, to hopefully teach them about it.
thanks for the fun (and easy) test. someone was kind enough to tell me about synestheisa yesterday. I went my whole life with no clue that is what I have! Oh, and thanks for having the right color blue for the number five - most people use too dark of blue in the options. But who ever heard of a peach number? :) ha ha
I don't get it. All the letters were black and I clicked black every time and it says I have lexical synesthesia. So, if I were presumably "normal" or unaffected, what should I have seen? It seems irresponsible to tell someone that they have a condition in absolute terms in any case. It might be better to say "you may have lexical synesthesia."
i am very fascinated my synesthesia. it is my favorite disorder (which you can't call it because it is an extremely cool gift). i have read a really cool book about a girl with synesthesia. It is called "A Mango Shaped Space." Very good book. If you don't mind i would like to ask youa few questions about your synesthesia. I think synesthesia is the coolest thing ever.
I love that book! It's my absoulte favorite. At first I agreed with Mia; I thought everybody else was like that! Then when I learned it was only her, and knew I had synesthesia.
I think I'm a synesthete. At least according to the synesthesia battery. I have this kind (the letters and numbers associated with colors thing) but the weird thing is that some numbers have personalities. Like, 3 is mischevious and 9 is a con man.
the reason it does this is because it only recognizes it if you click the same color each time the letter appears, and if you do this for most of the letters, it says you have synesthesia
meee yowww, me scratch_the_kat and me love purrr-teee colors! This very good project, so me give love it and favorite to Mudkip126! What color you see when me go meee yowww? lol
thank you for the loves and favorites! the word "meow" is a gray-blue-green, almost like tv static, but ocean-colored. and "yowww" is a yellow-green color!
moonhawk, you asked below "what's music class like?"
It's very colorful, but sometimes the colors turn ugly or strange when someone sings off-key.
And off-key voices are about the only time I would ever like to switch my synesthesia off
Play the game just like the instructions say. If you don't see a letter in the white box, just click the green flag again.
Synesthesia is a real condition experienced by about a small percentage of the population. There are lots of good Discovery Channel and Science Channel shows about it, and wikipedia has very good information about synesthesia
*Once I get 20 love-its OR 15 favorites, I will either add more colors and letters to this version OR make a music synesthesia project, but I will try to do both if I can get around to it.
16 love-its and 7 favorites as of July 14, 2008
8 favorites and 17 love-its as of July 31, 2008
Sorry that I didn't post the stats until now, but 21 love-its and 11 favorites as of April 9, 2009.

i also think of colors when i think of certain people.
is this a form of synesthesia? i can smell hot and cold and can taste it too. ican also smell burnt smoke.

I have lexical synesthesia :D
I have synesthesia, but not this type; I associate colors with personalities. I just chose random colors. XD
its hard for me
how do i make games

THis isn't an accurate test. People probably just choose random things.

653
Do you have that thing?
Letters and numbers don't really have anything to do with colours so I just clicked randomly. I'm not synawhatsit. =3
:) I liked it
617th view oh yeah
614th view! woo hoo!
i dont get it, one time it said i didnt have it, and the next it said i did! '_'
ok so the thingy said that i have it. is that a good thing or a bad thing.....AUGH!! all the letters and numbers were black! IM CONFUZZLED!!!XD
Yay I have synthes... whatever
How does the percent variatble go up????????????????
Hooray! I have it!
I have it!
i can't find the right colors!
Sorry! If I ever get around to making a new version, I'll take suggestions for new colors!

I don't think numbers and colours relate to each other but that's just me. =D
Aww,Cute Book!!
?
cool test, but why is there no gray? I felt weird having to choose between black and white for H.
If I make another version, I'll put gray in. None of these letters or numbers are gray for me, so I didn't think about that.
i have synesthesia too it's so cool!
I'm glad that's how you feel! I made this project to help people realize if they're a synesthete, and if they aren't, to hopefully teach them about it.

1yellow,2dblue,3pink,4black,5lblue,6lpurple, 7lgreen,8dpurple,9orange. d=dark l=light

I don't get it either. I find letters and numbers don't really relate to colours so I just clicked randomly. Guess I'm "norman" =D
Sorry, scratch the last two sentences of my comment. I read the text again and it's not as strongly worded as I first thought.
20 love its!
i am very fascinated my synesthesia. it is my favorite disorder (which you can't call it because it is an extremely cool gift). i have read a really cool book about a girl with synesthesia.

That is such a good book, i seriously criedwhen her cat died.
(view all replies)Me too(it is the coolest thing ever)!I'd be happy to answer some questions, but I might not know the answers. (Although I probably will)
(view all replies)I love that book! It's my absoulte favorite. At first I agreed with Mia; I thought everybody else was like that! Then when I learned it was only her, and knew I had synesthesia.
(view all replies)That book is how I learned about synesthesia!
(view all replies)I have it with letters, numbers, colors, sound, and even pain, but only a bit.
So if I hit you on the head u see rainbows?
It's so a bit, that I can't decide and might not have it.
I think I'm a synesthete. At least according to the synesthesia battery. I have this kind (the letters and numbers associated with colors thing) but the weird thing is that some numbers have personalities. Like, 3 is mischevious and 9 is a con man.
i have heard of number having personalities before. it sounds really neat! (it must tick you off in math though)
(view all replies)I have the colour one! It's weird! One is red, 2 blue, 3 green, 4 sometimes pink and sometimes yellow and 5 is pink....
(view all replies)to anyone who saw my haiku, I have the form of synesthesia where I see music AND hear it
im not a lexical synesthete it says cool test :)
well, YOU'RE COLOUR BLIND!
(view all replies)i am synesthic it didn't say so but I have red for number one, blue for 2, green for 3 , pink for 4 and orange for 5, also yellow for 7 and G
if you want me to make one for numbers, you can vote online at my new project (link to project)
(view all replies)that's another kind of lexical synesthesia, but maybe you don't have it for letters and that's why the test showed negative results
It is amazingly fun to click the exact same colour each time. I did this and it told me that I have lexical synthesia. Hurrah.
the reason it does this is because it only recognizes it if you click the same color each time the letter appears, and if you do this for most of the letters, it says you have synesthesia
Yeah I have it too. Red = 1!
same
please got to my newst project, it is about everyone!!
I looked at it, it was good, now please vote! (link to project) thank you!
is it bad 2 have it 'cus i do
it's not bad to have it!
(view all replies)Cool! I have lexical synesthesia! (Kinda) That's good, right? :D
there's nothing bad about it, so you can call it "good" if you want. I certainly do!
I have synesthesia! Very nice project.
wow!this is very helpfull!i didnt end up having it,but it can help people.nice project
even if you don't have synesthesia, this project was meant to teach people about it. thanks for the nice comments!
it is ok!
lol
I may not have synthe... synthesisea.... synthesisi.... the condition but I probably have a better visualisation than any of u :)
fine line really
Everything I answered black because looking at the black characters made me think that
same here oh and can you give me a link for that critique group you started on one of my projects??
okay, you don't have synesthesia, because a synesthete would "see" the color black and the "true" color for them
meee yowww, me scratch_the_kat and me love purrr-teee colors! This very good project, so me give love it and favorite to Mudkip126! What color you see when me go meee yowww? lol
thank you for the loves and favorites! the word "meow" is a gray-blue-green, almost like tv static, but ocean-colored. and "yowww" is a yellow-green color!
(view all replies)i gots it and i gots to admit... *cries* i is sickish!
i think its true, i always associate letters with colors and it freaks people out
i talked about it for years without knowing what it was. my parents didn't even take me seriously
meh too
dang it says i have it
why does that get a "dang?"
cool
it was all true. Cross wired senses
I actually play a string instrument. I like piano and strings more than woodwinds or brass.

(view all replies)cool, I saw this show and this one guy could taste words.
(view all replies)Now THAT would be a good way to get everlasting supply of yum tastes!
Does that mean that when he said poop he tasted poop? XD
I've heard a lot about the guy who tasted words. I don't taste words, but I when I hear music I see shapes and colors in my head
(view all replies)thats crazy!
(view all replies)(link to project)
Nice and informative! I have this condition with respect to numbers only, not letters, so I don't test positive with this particular project.
I have colored letters too, along with colored music, colored letters, and personalities for every letter and number
