I always felt I had a strong imagination though your friend has me beat, I’m pretty sure. From your list, visual and touch seem to be my strongest, then maybe a little from the sound list. I’m not really sure where else my experiences fall.

Ways I’ve noticed this is for one, I can’t watch horror or graphic violence. Not because of nausea or anything but because what I see doesn’t stay on the screen.

For horror, if I see something scary on screen, it’s very, very easy to accidentally imagine it in front of me. These images never become hallucinations, but it’s like my mind’s eye sees them right there. Whenever people say they don’t mind horror because they know it isn’t real, I can’t relate.

For graphic violence, I can feel the injuries on screen happening to my body. Thankfully with minimal pain but it’s a very weird sensation and can be nauseating. I get similar reactions with needles, the pain is worse when I watch it go in. If I’m with someone getting injections, I don’t move because it feels like I’d feel the needle in my own arm move if I did.

I’m also really good at imagining 3D shapes, how they look from different angles and judging how something fits into a visual space. I notice this similar to how your friend tests spices in cooking, I don’t try it out to check if it fits, I do it physically to confirm I’m right.
I don’t explain this to many people as it usually gets seen as weird. Thanks for this article, it gave me some useful words and concepts to explore.

I read your post before starting the CELTA, and today I received the great news: I got a Pass A! Thank you some much for sharing all this information. It was crucial for my CELTA journey. I now feel like sharing my own tips and strategies, and maybe posting something of my own (somewhere).

Oh, and just one thing: yes, you can resubmit an assignment and still get a Pass A. I had to resubmit my A2, and it was all good in the end. Only failing an assignment can really affect your final grade.

Thank you!

Hey, Ann! It is on the list (under “More Books by Cult Babies”). 🙂

That’s great! Will keep checking back.
