Is the top middle a trick? I couldn't read it. I can read the other's just fine. I have 20-20 vision. Like an eagle.
I have multiple types of synesthesia, including color. Seeing colored letters and numbers anywhere outside of my head doesn't bother me in the least. It also doesn't seem to affect the synesthesia at all. The numeral 9, to me, will always be pale yellow in my mind regardless of how many red nines my brain sees through my eyeballs.
Interesting. Older daughter says that she is "bothered" when letters are written in the "wrong" color. She has to turn off editors that change the color of the line when commented out and can't stand highlighting. Guess it is different for different people.
She is 26 and figured it out in about first grade when a girl wrote "5" in red chalk and she said "no, 5 is brown." She also sees sounds and days of the week in color and has time fixed in specific locations in space. She absolutely cannot see just black lines no matter how hard she tries. One of my favorite stories is she said she had too much caffeine or stress or something once while in the student union and the loud ambient noise looked like "clown vomit" being thrown around the room.
Daughter two has the gender traits and time-space version along with the grapheme-color, but doesn't like to talk about it much. She figured it out in first grade as well when the reading levels in the library were coded in colors that didn't match the grade.
Both daughters said that the word "SYNESTHESIA" written in multiple colors on the wiki page for synesthesia to try to show the rest of us how you see the world really bothers them because the colors used don't match what they see and it conflicts. Does it seem somehow "wrong" to you?
Finally, their mom/my wife (I'm dad...ArtemUs is the masculine name) has only the time-space version, but it is very strong for her. She can barely use a day planner and calendars are laid out "in the worst possible way." She only realized a few years years ago that this was rather unique when the whole family had a great revelation about the whole synesthesia thing. Daughter 2 was reading the psychology textbook for her upcoming course and told her sister "Hey, there's a name for that thing where we see letters in color...it's called synesthesia." I started reading out an on-line questionnaire about the types and when I said "Are the days of the week arranged like a tipped over letter D going counter-clockwise?" mom/wife said "No, they go up and back but then level off." She was actually surprised that anyone got it so badly wrong. It took days to convince her that the rest of don't see things that way.
I'm still not convinced, either.
Well there is CAIS, where a person is genetically XY but phenotypically presents as female (at least outwardly - the vagina is a cul de sac).Well, it seemed obvious to me why the OP was differentiating male and female. Unless he thinks this is a board where members would believe that gender identity or self image, as opposed to genetic considerations, would affect physical structures in the eye. Granted, the world is filled with uneducated doofs who actually believe that vision involves beams or rays coming out of the eyeball to perceive something visually. On another board, yeah. Either way, the poll just looks funny, like if the simple terms "male" and "female" confuse you, getting technical with the chromosome indicators should clear things up.
Me too. Although that 6 is the least contrast one.XY here, and I can read all of them.
Apparently some XXs are tetrachromats and can perceive even more colors.
XY
I can see them all.
At first glance, the one below looked like "36", but the harder I look at it the less I see it, and sometime it looks like a "10".
Not sure how to do it and also want the kind of poll that is anonymous at least to what your answer is.
Also not sure which forum is best.
I think that choices should be something like:
Male (XY), can read all the numbers
Male (XY), can only read 1-3 of the numbers
Female (XX), can read all the numbers
Female (XX),can only 1-3 of the numbers

Anyway, my answer is male and only able to read the two numbers on the left.
There are a few other types of color deficiency than mine, which I think is weak-green or deuteranomaly. But it makes up the vast amount of issues.
XY
I can see them all.

It doesn't appear to have any number. I see five distinct colors but no coherent shape. Just a suggestion of a 3 and an 8. Is this a trick sample?

Yes. It's a control question, there is no number.
