I have gotten data from 10 people for the first round. It is really interesting to look at the patterns of what colors people associate with different letters/numbers. For example, J has a lot of pinks and purples while 8 has a lot of green. I am not sure if that is coincidence, or an actual pattern. It is true that synesthetes associate certain colors with certain letters and numbers more often (vowels tend to be lighter for example), so maybe it is a pattern, even though most of those I surveyed are statistically not going to be synesthetes. I have been wondering how to analyze my data after I have the second round. How close do colors need to be to be counted as the same? I found an alphabet and numbers that I had assigned to their color in my head from two years ago. Here it is: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,12345678910. This is very similar to the alphabet and numbers that I had changed to the color in my head from a few weeks ago which is here: 123456789, abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. This might be a good clue as to how similar of a color to make the cut off, since almost all of them are very similar, and this is over 2 years for me compared to a few weeks for the participants. I will soon start to get the second round of data. It will be interesting to see how much peoples’ colors have changed.
