These score bands use rough screening cutoffs inspired by imagery research, not clinical norms. They are meant to show where you likely fall on the spectrum, not to label you.
Part 1 — Imagery Vividness (10 scenarios): For each scenario, close your eyes and try to picture it for a few seconds. Then rate what you actually experienced on the 1–5 scale, from no image at all to an image almost as vivid as real seeing. The key distinction: rate the visual experience itself, not your knowledge. Everyone "knows" what a sunrise looks like — the question is whether you see one in your mind.
Part 2 — Everyday Imagery (6 questions): Quick questions about how mental imagery shows up in your daily life — reading, remembering, and recalling faces. These act as a consistency check on your Part 1 ratings.
Your result places you on the imagery spectrum: aphantasia range (little or no voluntary imagery), low imagery, typical imagery, or hyperphantasia range (unusually vivid imagery). All of these are normal variations found in the general population — none of them is a disorder, and none requires treatment.
For the most accurate result, take the test somewhere quiet, don't rush the imagining step, and answer based on your typical experience.
