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.
