Average IQ and memory campacity of someone with synaesthesia?!
Question: Average IQ and memory campacity of someone with synaesthesia!?
Okay, so recently I discovered that I have a condition called synaesthesia!. It is a rare condition where senses fuse together, for me I can see sound, and feel light on my skin!. I am officialy diagnosed with it I had my brain scanned and everything, my dad thought it was an aneurysm!.
Anyways, recently I have been experiencing more weird things!. I noticed that my memory is better, I am able to remember things from months ago very vividly, I can replay them in my mind's eye!. So with my curiosity, I looked online and took multiple IQ tests, and received an average score of 167!. I took a short term memory test, and didn't do so hot on it, I was only able to to remember 12 out of 15 words said to me!. But half an hour later, without listening to the words again I magically knew all of them!.
I already know my IQ is far above average, in the MENSA level! But why is my short term memory terrible compared to my long term memory!. I wish someone out there could relate to what I am going though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have some asperger traits and one trait is to have a poor short term memory yet be able to convert the info to longterm memory and recall it at a later time!. Focus on chunking info!. Also there is a difference in fluid and crystallized intelligence, even though crystallized is not supposed to be about working memory it does have correlations with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
