If you could augment one of your senses, which one would you pick?

You have the chance to significantly improve one of your senses.

If it's average, it would be made excellent. If it's excellent, it would be made superhuman, and if you lack a sense, improving that one would make it average. There would be no increased risk of over-sensitivity or over-stimulation.

Sight. 10
Hearing. 6
Smell. 0
Touch (including temperature & pain). 0
Taste. 0
Balance, proprioception, or chronoception. 5
I would refuse the offer and stay as I am now. 2

    Sight, my vision is starting to get worse, runs in the family, I'm self conscious about how I look now let alone with glasses, they look good on a lot of people but I'm not one of them, I couldn't go with contact lenses either, couldn't touch my eye, hell I can't even open my eyes underwater

    To be completely honest I'd like to have all of my senses sharpened, but since I'm extremely nearsighted, and I recently got my first pair of bifocals I picked my sense of sight to be heightened. I would, however, like a heightened 6th sense.

    I choose sight, since the last year has been a blur of appointments here and there trying to find why my vision suddenly took a nosedive last year. I can't read things, papers, phone, computer screen, etc. without being 4" from the screen. I have new glasses and reading glasses from a yr ago. They don't do like they did when I first got them. I was just told today my Drs. want to do a bunch of tests and cancer screening. Yea I'm kinda worried.

  • At first I thought that said "If you could have an argument with one of your senses."

    Probably smell. I have trouble all the time smelling things that other people apparently do smell that it drives me nuts. They'll ask "do I smell smoke?" and I couldn't answer if the damn neighborhood went up in flames.
