      It’s meant to roughly gauge how clearly you picture things in your mind’s eye by asking you which apple you see when prompted to imagine one. #5 references the lack of a mind’s eye in people with Aphantasia (coincidentally this Wikipedia article has this same chart as a header image)

    I’m a 1 and of course I do. Imagination is like playing with dolls. You already know everything going on. It’s not the same as watching something made by other people.

    I’m a 1 and yes I do. I can imagine something, but it’s hard to concentrate on something super detailed and fully enjoy myself

      I don’t think there’s a lot of research on it, but it’s a way to measure aphantasia, the inability to picture something in your mind. I’m a 4 and didn’t actually know anything higher existed until I started talking to other artists.

      They are assuming you can visualize what ever you want and don’t need the videos

      It’s a new fad ailment like the magically disappearing “gluten intolerance” epidemic. People with no personalities substitute these things instead. See also “neurodivergence” etc.

        Neurodivergent is a huge spectrum we’re still figuring out. But what do you mean by fad ailment.

        Genuinely curious about this scale, I’m sure there would be 4s and 5s but expect majority to be 1 or 4 depending on their context when they hear ‘Apple’

          Maybe start using a word when it has some meaning then.

          But what do you mean by fad ailment.

          …like the magically disappearing “gluten intolerance” epidemic. People with no personalities substitute these things instead.”. It’s the height of fashion to have a minor ailment these days. Particularly if it’s an unprovable one like this absurd nonsense.

      I’m still coming to terms of people who don’t think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??

      I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I’m a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that “minds eye” is not a metaphor for most people.

        So, I worked in a job shop, I would draw things up in CAD and leave everything the default grey texture. then the customer would say “I don’t want it to be grey. I want it [wood, gold, magenta plaid, whatever]” and I would say “Yeah I’m going to make it out of [whatever], I’m just confirming the physical design.” and they would reply “I can’t see it.”

        Is that you?

    3 or 4, but I can ‘see’ the geometry and motion of one or more objects interacting with each other or the environment. Rotation, deformation, shear, impact etc.

    It is less so that I can ‘see’ and more that I can ‘feel’ and visually conceptualize that sensation in my mind. Albeit not ‘vividly’.

    That might lend itself to other things

    I’m between 4 and 5, and no, I don’t need to. I can conceptualize things pretty well, I just can’t do it visually.

    I stopped watching kids videos at the end of my kid life. Everything I watch is adult videos now: news, math, finances, cooking
