I’m like a 1-2, not always photo-realistic but I’m a highly visual person so it comes naturally to me.

4.8 I can see the apple I gated for the chickens yesterday (it had a bum) but its like a snap shot and it is really hard too keep it there. But I can imagine biting it and feel in my mouth and hear the crunch as clear as if I was actually eating it.

I tend to have a really high visual memory, but I also have the monologue, which means that when I read, it's kinda like a narrated movie, which allows me to speed-read fiction and non-fiction with pretty great recall, but it annihilates my ability to do abstract math that I can't visualize. Fortunately, most things I work with are within Newtonian physics and probability, but anything outside of that is a nightmare for me to memorize.

i can visualize the apple or whatever and like rotate it in my brain, change the lighting, etc. or like, i dunno a spaceship or exoplanet or future hovercraft it sucks because my brain and coordination don't match so despite trying really hard i can't really art despite being able to make brain art. i wish there was a non-invasive, non-Elon brain interface device that let me bypass my "stupid fingers".

I CAN ROTATE A CUBE WITH MY MIND

I'd say normally I'm around a 2 to 4, but if I'm focusing I can do 1. Nothing like actually seeing though, with proper seeing the stuff still has detail if I'm not concentrating.

If I'm sitting on public transport I'm usually flipping through movie or machine ideas in between hexbear browsing

I can’t see shit 😎

Look at the “no-apple” thinker!

As a qualia, this is very hard to communicate. I wonder if there's a genuine, measurable difference here, or if what I think of as 'visualising' is the same as them thinking of ideas and feelings. Nobody like, has a second vision they use, it's just.. remembering a sight as if you're looking at it now.

Yeah I'm a 1 on the scale. I honestly thought everyone could visualise like that, until I joined study groups in high school.

since i CAD and draw a lot i think I really have to see stuff in my head

i can't imagine doing anything without that
