an interesting thing to research:
whether or not there is an optomological link to understanding perception. a person's vision (20/20, 20/30 etc.) and the type of damage (or lack there of) which results in their vision being the way it is could possibly be an indication of how a person perceives in general. if you consider that when a person suffers the loss of a sense (hearing, sight, etc) one or more of their other sensory organs will strengthen to compensate for that loss. this happens because the individual is made to rely on these other senses more than they normally would. likewise, if a person possess all 5 of their senses they still do so to varying degrees (some people are near sighted, some people have acute senses of smell) this might be because for some psychological or neurological reason they choose to rely on one sense more than another. if a person does not find it necessary to clearly see everything around them, their visual capabilities will weaken and the entire sense will become more prone to damage of different types. perhaps the way in which one literally sees and consequently perceives the world around them would determine which facets of their vision would deteriorate first, for example, perhaps a highly insecure person would rely heavily on their sense of sight because they are unsure about their own judgment and therefore would have strong eyes and relatively clear vision. or, a person who is near sighted might be self centered and majorly concerned with immediate things or something like that. i couldn't start categorizing yet because i don't know what means what, but you get what i'm saying.
this is just a thought

This is interesting. I've never really thought about the implications of senses and it's affect on our actual perception.
It makes me question as to whether my horrible eye sight as a kid had anything to do with how kinesthetic I am, hmmm.
Intriguing post
