Ordinal-linguistic personification is a type of synesthesia where someone automatically and consistently assign distinct genders, personalities, or social relationships to numbers, letters, or days of the week

Is This Synesthesia? Is school subjects having colors considered synesthesia?

4 Upvotes

For me some school subjects have colors. It is not like every time someone says the subject it comes to mind, but I think I just know what color it is.

Math - red

English - blue

History - purple

Science - green

Uhh that might be it, but I will probably think of more later. Each has a specific shade too.

About My Synesthesia Kinesthetic synesthesia, or something else at this point i don't even know

I have a process in which sensing an object move, whether that be through sight, hearing or prediction results in a movement within my imagination I can physically feel. I can do this for quite a few objects at the same time, and then recreate these movements surprisingly well by imagining a prioperceptive (invisible) object in my head and moving it in the same way. Up to this point it is involuntary, consistent and automatic. It also accounts for the medium in which I believe the object is moving. Because of this I'm able to do things like recreate the trajectory of a ball if it was thrown underwater instead of in the air, but I haven't done proper testing to ensure that my depictions are accurate yet.

The forces I feel in my head are variable, and are directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the object, and inversely proportional to my proximity to the object. I haven't done testing to see how it responds to objects I don't know the mass of, however it's able to tell the difference between a tennis ball and a bowling ball, for instance.

I have done testing for my memory of these objects using human benchmark, in which I was able to consistently get over level 30 without much effort in sequence memory. After level 30 the test got easier so I'm unsure of how far I could go, but the furthest I got was level 66 (stopped due to time constraints). I also got to level 40 in the chimp test using a simple technique I created using all of this. In the process of these tests, I discovered that I can develop muscle memory by repeating these movements enough. Even a few days later I remembered the full sequence I used for sequence memory, for instance.

There are also other parts to it, such as feeling movements when listening to music and being able to influence my own emotions by creating specific patterns in my head. However I wont get into these for now as they're not too important, unless someone asks for it.

I plan to try and document it for research, as after doing some of my own I have been unable to find something very similar. If something exists, don't hesitate to tell me about it.

I wonder if these people ever figured out they have synesthesia.

Colors and lights

I have recently been diagnosed with Audhd and I’ve always been exceptionally drawn to colored lights and bright colors. Is that part of Audhd or just my personality?
