When I was young, my mind was super visual. People would talk, and there would be a stream of pictures and videos in my mind. Then I got really into reading and writing and, over the years, my mine got much less visual. I still can visualize things, but it's not the way my mind really works. It's closer to an audio book, but isn't really sound, either.
yes because most of the time, it feels better to be able to turn my brain off.
But I am able to use stuff like AI Dungeon as an alternative if I need it.
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
Uhm, not sure where I lie on this scale I guess. Is this the real scale or some abstract representation? Personally it's a 1 or 2 for me, but the image constantly changes and is never quite stable. There can be quite some detail, but it's only very temporary. Once I focus on some other part of the apple and go back everything is different
Up to 1 with effort. My fiancee is a 5, which if I hadn't already known beforehand that that's even possible, I would have been surprised to learn.
The term you are looking for is aphantasia.
Only for a 5.
Yes. Just because I can imagine a book brought to life doesn't mean I don't like watching movies.
Not so much these days. I have a lot of neglected home projects that I need to get done. Can't imagine how 3 and 4s are handling things these days.
At a 2, I have but don't regularly.
1 or 2 I guess? Also whatβs wrong with watching adult videos?
They are assuming you can visualize what ever you want and donβt need the videos
1, I do. The imagination isnβt a perfect replacement for everything, and I find visualising things far harder to do if Iβm actively forcing myself to do it (listening to music or just letting my mind wander is far better for me, so this test is pretty difficult for me since I have to force myself to focus on the apple).
