It wasn't one of those cutesy online quizes- it showed me numbers and letters (capital and lowercase) over and over (in random order). I used a precise color picker to show what color it invoked. A later test did the same thing, with me "coloring" musical sounds.<BR/>The results? <BR/>I scored very high for number and letter synesthesia, but not at all for music.Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-27321515997072535792009-03-20T17:20:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:20:00.000-07:00Do you see colors with music too?
