I scored an 11, which I guess is good, but someone else in my age range has scored a 0. Someone else scored a 1520, yikes. Fun exercise, a little taxing, but worth it to see that I have difficulty in the teal to blue color range. Funny, since those are some of my favorite colors.

Hehe, not to brag (ok, maybe a little
) ,but I got a perfect score on it, which given my proclivities didn't surprise at all. Maybe a weird amusement but I think it is totally fun (go on a roller coaster? No thanks, I'll arrange color strips! LOL). But then again, I can stand staring at paint sample strips at the paint store for quite some time ("Can I help you?" "No, I'm fine."
) so....
Yes! BNLsMOM on the color association thing (synesthesia, as knossos points out). I tend to have it most with scents. Then music. Sometimes, not always. "The same as how I saw them" -- EXACTLY, BNLsMOM!
I hope this isn't a hijack (but just say if you think it is!). There's something about those things we obsess on... perceptions of things, how we try to wrap our heads around these concepts, whether they are in our minds or official theories. How the line of reality seems blurred when one really thinks on them. How to conceive of infinity. How we perceive reality.
Hehe. Not sure where to go from there without going off.
