What is synesthesia?

Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sense automatically triggers an experience in another. It is involuntary, consistent, and usually present from childhood. It is not a disorder — it is a variation in how the brain processes information.

Synesthesia is significantly more common among neurodivergent individuals — particularly autistic people, those with ADHD, and those with dyslexia. Research suggests synesthesia may occur in up to 20% of autistic individuals, compared to roughly 4% of the general population.

This quiz covers 8 types of synesthesia across 15 questions. Answer honestly based on your actual experience — not what you think synesthesia should feel like.
