Synaesthesia tests

Post Reply New Topic

This is in response to the Synesthesia thread. I thought you all would find it interesting. There are three tests, one each for weekdays, numbers and months.

So, take them and see what you get!

The results are complicated. I'll try to make them brief here:

Test-Results

My score: 80 %

average synaesthetes:
92 %
average non-synaesthetes:
25 %

Commentary:
Your results clearly indicate that you could be a synaesthete.

Colour table:
The color table for the days of the week was pretty consistent.
Commentary:
You have selected similar colors. This is a positive indicator for synaesthesia.

Evaluation flash-test (Explication)

Points Flash: 100 / 100
Points Stroop: 90 / 100
Reaction time Flash: 1236 ms
Reaction time Stroop: 1599 ms
Commentary:
You reacted very quickly and always recognized your personal color. This is a positive indicator for synaesthesia.

Evaluation questions (Explication)

Punkte: 100 / 100

Our questions are designed to evaluate whether your answers are typical for a synaesthete. The higher the score, the more likely it is that you are a synaesthete.
Commentary:
You've answered the questions in a typical way for a synaesthete.

I did the numbers one.

Syndex: 79 %

"Your results indicate that you could be a synaesthete but it is interesting that you haven't answered all questions in a typical way. Maybe you haven't chosen the color not spontaneously like a synaesthete would do but you were thinking actively which color you should apply."

Haha, caught me. I was trying to fake synaesthesia. I don't think I really am one.

I did the weekdays one.


Syndex: (Explication)
93 %

Je grösser der Syndex, desto grösser die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass du Synästhesie haben könntest. Der Syndex nimmt exponentiell ab. Bitte sei dir bewusst: das Resultat des Synästhesie-Tests stimmt nicht immer. Wenn du nicht zufrieden bist, mach den Test nochmals.

Wenn du nur wenige Farben ausgewählt hast, dann kriegst du einen Abzug. So wollen wir verhindern, dass Teilnehmer, welche z.B. nur immer "schwarz" wählen, einen hohen Syndex erreichen.

Colour table (Explication)

Here you can find an overview of your test result. The broader the bar,the more consistent you were in your choice of colours during the different sets of graphemes. Red indicates a low consistency. Yellow indicates mixed results and Green indicates a perfect consistency in your choice of colours for a given grapheme.

Where you chose "transparent" the results are presented in black.

Evaluation flash-test (Explication)

Points Flash: 100 / 100
Points Stroop: 90 / 100
Reaction time Flash: 629 ms
Reaction time Stroop: 874 ms

Beim Stroop-Task erkennen Synästhetiker wie auch Nicht-Synästhetiker ziemlich schnell, ob das Farbwort in der dazugehörigen Farbe gezeigt wird oder nicht.

Beim Flash-Test hingegen sind nur die Synästhetiker fähig schnell und korrekt zu erkennen, ob ein präsentiertes Element in der individuell richtigen Farbe erscheint.

For synaesthetes the reaction time during the Stroop-Task and the Flash-Test will be more or less equal, whereas non-synaesthetes show significantly reduced reaction times completing the Flash-Test.

Here you can see a list of your answers during the Flash-Test. Green means that you correctly recognised if a grapheme was presented in your personal colour. Red indicates the opposite reaction.

Commentary:

Evaluation Gender (Explication)

Punkte: 98.0 / 100

Some synaesthetes perceive graphemes as possessing a personality.In our test we measured your grapheme to gender associations. A score of 100 indicates a perfect consistency in your choices.
Commentary:
You chose the same genders. This is typical for synaesthetes.
Evaluation Out-In-Space (Explication)

Out-in-space-Syndex: 100

In this test we evaluate your perceived spatial arrangement for consistency. It is fairly typical for many synaesthetes to perceive a week, month or year as a spatial arrangement. However, as many non-synaesthetes also have shapes, etc. representing their week, month or year the Out-In-Space Module should be considered as fun rather than as a tried and trusted scientific test.

Commentary:
You arranged more or less the same shape. This indicates that you could might have this type of synaesthesia. Please note: this test is rather fun than a scientific tool because also non-synaesthetes can easily imagine a shape.

I got bored.

But colors do make me feel differently, and each day has a color.

They didn't think about the way numbers may have shapes. Most of my numbers are not round black blobs. They're three-dimensional geometric figures.

Oh, well. I kind of doubt I've actually got synesthesia; I'm just a visual thinker using visual tendencies to think about numbers.

It was so great when I was studying logic
and the teacher had accidentally divided the
last assignment into b) c) d) e) f)
instead of the regular a) b) c) d) e)
It was relaxing to do the assignment because
I see the letter a as red which looks terrible
with the colours that come with b) c) d) e).

OK.

My results have my wondering WTF?

I score 91 but I have NEVER thought of days in terms of colors. I basically assigned colors that mirrored my feelings about different days. I hate Mondays so it got an ugly color.

I still think I am not synesthetic. I just consistently associated colors and feelings during the test.

Meh.

I did the weekday one.

I didn't know really about gender for days. Days and such don't really feel like male or female to me. At least I didn't think so. But it says I scored the same genders.
