This is a real question...not an April Fools trick. Theres this gift/brain trait that I discovered I have about a year ago. Ive had it all my life but never knew it was unique...perception generally doesnt come up in daily conversations...ya know? Anyhow, its called synesthesia and I think its totally badass. There are over 20 different kinds of synesthesia. It is a genetic trait and is believed to effect about 1% of the population (my future offspring will have it too). The types that I know I have are the grapheme-color version (about 1 in 90 people have this kind) and the spatial sequence version (about 1 in 2000 people have this kind). Synesthetes have increased grey matter in their brains, and often have photographic memories and enhanced creativity. Some famous Synesthetes are Pharrell Williams, Nikola Tesla and Frank Lloyd Wright. Heres a link to an interesting site with info on Spatial Sequence Synesthesia as well as a test you can take to see if you have a form of synesthesia as well: synesthesiatest.org/blog/spatial-sequence-synesthesia. Comment below if you have it, if you know someone who has it, or if you want to learn more about this unique and involuntary trait/mode of perception.
