How the Scales are Structured

example score

2/3

Gustatory (G)

Measures how strongly taste sensations arise as associations to non-taste stimuli in cross-modal perception.

Low

High

0 – 1: Low | 2 – 3: High

A score of 2 indicates a high tendency for taste-related associations to accompany other sensory inputs, suggesting richer cross-modal imagery.

example score

1/3

Olfactory (O)

Measures how strongly a person experiences smell-related associations in response to stimuli from other senses.

Low

Moderate

High

0 – 1: Low | 2: Moderate | 3: High

A score of 1 suggests a low level of odor-based cross-modal associations, with smells arising occasionally or weakly in response to other sensory cues.

example score

1/3

Kinesthetic (K)

Measures how strongly bodily or movement sensations are evoked when processing stimuli through other sensory channels.

Low

High

0 – 1: Low | 2 – 3: High

A score of 1 falls in the Low range, suggesting bodily or motor sensations are present but not a prominent part of your cross-modal perception.

example score

2/3

Auditory (A)

Measures how strongly a person links sounds with other sensory impressions, reflecting cross-modal auditory imagery and auditory memory tendencies.

Low

Moderate

High

0 – 1: Low | 2: Moderate | 3: High

A score of 2 indicates a moderate tendency to form sound-based associations with other sensations, suggesting a fairly developed auditory component of synesthesia.

example score

1/3

Visual (V)

Measures the tendency to generate visual imagery in response to non-visual stimuli as part of cross-modal perception.

Low

High

0 – 1: Low | 2 – 3: High

A score of 1 suggests a low level of visually driven synesthetic imagery, with visual images arising occasionally but not as a dominant response pattern.

example score

6/15

Synesthesia Sensitivity (SS)

Measures how readily a person experiences cross-modal (synesthetic) perceptions, indicating how sensory information is internally represented and linked to creative expression.

Low

Moderate

High

0 – 5: Low | 6 – 10: Moderate | 11 – 15: High

A score of 6 suggests a moderate sensitivity to synesthesia, meaning occasional cross-sensory associations that may support imaginative or literary-style representation without being strongly pronounced.

CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this test measure?

It screens for the dominant sensory channel used to process experience and the pattern used to encode information internally. It also estimates sensitivity to cross-modal associations.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 3 minutes. The test includes 15 items.

What types of tasks are included?

Items ask for simple responses to prompts that involve linking impressions across senses. The tasks are brief and do not require specialized knowledge.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that matches the first clear impression. Avoid overthinking or choosing what seems most logical.

How should the results be interpreted?

Scores indicate a likely leading sensory channel and the strength of cross-modal perception. Results are screening-level indicators and should be interpreted with other assessment information when used for decisions.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Synesthesia Assessment Test

representational system

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for cross-modal perceptual experiences and related patterns in sensory representation. The Synesthesia Assessment is intended to help characterize the individual’s predominant sensory modality and the extent of atypical sensory blending in everyday perception (Cytowic).

The instrument consists of 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Results are generally used as an initial indicator to guide further clinical interviewing or more comprehensive assessment, rather than as a standalone diagnostic determination. In clinical or educational contexts, the Synesthesia Assessment may support discussion of perceptual style and possible associations with imaginative or language-based functioning, interpreted cautiously and in conjunction with collateral information.
