this test is rubbish. i'm all about synaesthesia but if the mental images/"textures" you're asked to choose from aren't event coherent or relevant then i don't see how they can be an accurate measure of one's aptitude for this sort of thing. it would be better to ask you to identify the colour of a sound or an actual picture rather than just some quirky abstract symbol which has no significance in and of itself.

[ravenguy2000]

in other words you couldn't do it

[JapanAlex]

lmao

oh and it twas very entertaining thank you

i reached a luke warm 70%

[mistle]

85

at first i got them all wrong because i thought i was supposed to just see the image in my head when i heard the music and not analyze it

i don't think the test has anything to do with synaesthesia. unless you high flyers are "feeling" the correct shape? rather it's a measure of a) how conditioned you are to think of an increase in hertz as a "rise" of pitch and b) how good you are at pattern matching

[Eulogy]

i got the first 6, missed the 7th, and then gave up.

[bja1288]

70%

[tcm]

missed the first one, figured out what was going on and got the rest correct. 95%

[MrPantyFAce]

im not signing up for that, it seems like witchcraft

[T&T]

too FUcking easy.
100%
& 100% in each catagory.



this test is "associative musical visual intelligence"
should be super easy for anyone who's done any basic music dictation
not at all about synaesthesia

[Mablak]

I got the first one wrong and was offended by the idea of there being a right or wrong answer. Who are they to decide? Who the fuck are they, bastards, screw them.

just how the hell did you get 100% in the 3rd and 4th categories.

you're a goddamn fraud.

[maoi]

this test was okay. it basically taught something we already know






































that isle is a massive idiot.

i have this. not with shapes and sound, rather with days, months, numbers... only learned that there was a name for it about a year ago; i assumed everyone did this sort of thing.

what do you associate them with?

ok, i stopped doing the adaptive pitch one once it got down to 1hz
i'm a big fraud

actually it's just more that i visualize them. days and months are both in a circle. December is at the top of the month circle, june, july and august are all at the bottom. the circle goes counterclockwise, where december is 12, july is 6, january is 9, etc. For days of the week, that goes counterclockwise as well. Sunday is around 1, monday is 12, ect. Numbers are more in a linear fashion, where 0 is at the bottom, one is above it, and so on. I've pretty much always imagined them this way.

[T&T]

so you use a hand clock visual for a calender.
i'm not sure thats synaesthesia,


or maybe i'm just a synaesthesia denier.

[paranoid]

that was cool.

got one wrong ..

Total: 95%

Pitch discrimination: 94.2%
Musical memory: 95.5%
Contour discrimination: 94.0%
Attention: 91.4%
Musical/visual abstraction: 93.2%

Isle, this test is just correlating audio patterns to visual patterns, it's easy as shit. take the test and post your score before your start railing off about it, there's nnothing abstract happening here.

[SpankBOXX]

Great Test! 87%

[TheMilstead]

That was fun.

90% overall

89.9

it's a type of it. see:

Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia, plural synesthesiae or synaesthesiae)—from the Ancient Greek σύν (syn), meaning "with," and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), meaning "sensation"'—is a neurologically-based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme → color synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored, while in ordinal linguistic personification, numbers, days of the week and months of the year evoke personalities. In spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be "farther away" than 1990), or may have a (three-dimensional) view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise).

[SlingeroGuitaro]

i can hear recorded music in extreme 3d and can see images and colors in the way it is mixed or recorded. thats about it


i thought this test was kind of dumb

[ohnoitsbonnie]

When I taste I can hear it. Vanilla in particular is a lot like waves

[tcm]

well i for one am not synaesthetic at all.

[deadaswarhol]

got one wrong. overall yeah pretty easy

[???]

julio/milstead need to shut up

the images you're given to work with on this test are as arbitrary as anything and the relation between them and the soundclips can be interpreted subjectively. the individual properties of each sounclip (melody, rhythm, tone, frequency) can all be seen as corresponding to the images in totally different ways. i don't think you can say there's only one "right" answer to any of these and i'd like to know what the quizmasters' justification is for choosing such anomalous images as they did. maybe i should give an example.

[Ever]

I think cubes talk to me all the time

[???]

ok for example the first trial is pretty straightforward because you get the same musical phrase twice in a row, except the tone of the second phrase is different, so this trial corresponds with the first image. black square, red square.

but the second trial- on my first attempt i thought the phrase again played twice, but the second time it finished with that little three-note accent, which lead me to think the correct image was the first one, because the second square has that suggestive little bump on it. i couldn't see how the correct image would be the third one because the two shapes are differently colored indicating the tone of each clip must be different when they weren't, and i didn't think it would be the second image because the two identical squares suggested to me that the two soundclips were identical rather than being a measure of their linearity.

see where i'm going with this.

[ravenguy2000]

no, because everyone else is getting them more or less correct
