While I've had a lot of fun considering this question, and bringing it up in arguments to irritate whomever I was disagreeing with, I'd say that the vast majority of the time, we sense things SIMILARLY to others. I just say this primarily because of biological reasons, and the fact that it allows for ease of understanding. There are likely small differences, and sometimes even large ones (just as an example, some partially colourblind people can't tell the difference between two colours, and see them as one, but they might not know that they're not seeing the proper colours). However, if we decide not to assume that on the whole, most people experience sensation in a similar manner to one another, then there's really no point in discussing sensation at all, as we cannot compare the differences in sensation between people, and all discussion involving any of our senses would become moot.
