How many senses?

How many senses do you have.

I'll start the list with one you may not have heard of before.

Proprioception (/ˌproʊprioʊˈsɛpʃən, -priə-/ PRO-pree-o-SEP-shən), from Latin proprius, meaning "one's own", "individual", and capio, capere, to take or grasp, is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement.

The list is higher than six depending on which neurologist you talk to

Awww .... I think that about myself sometimes, but I love Jesus , and I love someone else too, so maybe I have a little.
Though some ppl might say I was crazy for loving either one ... or both ... But that's ok. Maybe that's true. Maybe I AM crazy. I don't care. The bible says God is love, and He loves us, and we should love Him and one another. So that makes sense. Maybe it's not all that common. But I guess it's still good sense. :smile:

common sense seems to be in short supply nowadays but hey at least there is still some in the world

Yes, more than six. In addition to sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing there is Proprioception and then hunger, heat sensitivity, balance and more.

I feel so proprioceptive today. New word for scrabble.

Sounds like a medicine.
I was having some sort of an attack, so they rushed me to the hospital, where they quickly administered a proprioceptive.
It must have been something I ate. Fortunately, it passed. :flame:

I heard that one person thinks there are 21 senses!! I'm not sure how they're all counted.

As I have 5 fingers on a hand, and five toes on a foot -

I have 5 senses.

Seeing
Hearing
Smelling
Tasting

The last is both internal and external so it includes includes hunger, internal pain, temperature, motion
