The most common form of synesthesia is when people see or hear words in colour. The condition affects about 1 in 25 000 people and is found more commonly in women than men. There appears to be more left handed individuals among synesthetics than in the general population although the significance of this is unclear. Often synesthetics have exceptional memories, have a tendency to have unusual 'psychic' experiences, but have problems at maths or navigation.

Strange, everything in there is not me. Male, right handed, so-so memory, definitely not psychic, though there have been a couple of incidents that are noteworthy, very good math skills (notwithstanding last week's brainfart that Bobblehead so kindly reminded me of, and my navigation skills are (not to brag) stellar. In fact, regarding navigation, I usually play a game whenever I'm in a new city where I try to get lost. I simply cant. I can find my way back every time, unless I am drunk.

But I think in colour.
