    • I have hyperthymia. It’s a constant state of mild mania and when I get flare ups of it it’s like I’m on speed

    • Excellent colour vision, forget what it’s called but I have being a girl to thank for this one!

    • I have hyperphantasia too, and didn’t realize this until someone posted a diagram on here. When I imagine an apple in my head, it looks the same as me seeing it in real life. I never knew this wasn’t normal until pretty recently!

        Anything less than a 1 makes me raise eyebrows, but the fact some people see just an outline or even nothing still blows my mind

          I’m a 5 :) Thought for way to long that all this “Picture in your mind” stuff was just a figure of speech, not that people actually SEE pictures on their mind.

            I find this totally fascinating. I have a friend that is a 1 and I’m a 5. I asked him to picture his childhood home and he said that he just knows that it was white, not that he can see it. We both thought the other was shitting on each other. He’s a good artist too, I have no idea how. Maybe because he’s true innocence? He’s not planning anything out in his head.

              I have this but somehow with video? Like I can take a mental tour through an area I’ve been to. Oh, and I can feel touch in those mental tours.

                I’ve got the video thing too, I never really thought about it. Thanks for mentioning that. I can feel and touch, but I can’t smell. I don’t have a good smell memory unless it just happened.

                  I’ve got full 4D video, but the framerate in the world-gen system doesn’t match with my occipital processors, so it’s really choppy and it takes a lot of BPU cycles.

                  (BPU = Brain Processing Unit)

                    cringe on

                    LOL same

                    cringe off

                    Though I am unable to smell in there, my smell-Memory is spot on in when and where I smelled something, I can’t even see while doing this. But I’ve learned to trust my body to just keep me alive while… hardcore daydreaming I guess?

          I… Didn’t know that was a thing but it makes sense. Is less than 1 something that people typically do without intent? That is, I can imagine a cartoon apple but, it’s different than imagining an actual apple.
