CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?
It measures the self-reported vividness of visual mental imagery across common situations such as faces, places, objects, and scenes. Results summarize imagery vividness patterns and overall range.
How should the rating scale be used?
Rate the clarity and vividness of the image that appears in the mind when reading each prompt. Use the full scale and select the option that best matches typical experience rather than an exceptional moment.
What if no image appears at all?
Select the lowest vividness rating when no visual image is present. If other sensory impressions occur without a visual image, base the rating only on the visual component.
How long does it take, and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 10 minutes. The questionnaire includes 53 items.
Does the score provide a diagnosis?
No; results are an informational self-check and do not diagnose any condition. For clinical questions or concerns, consult a qualified health professional.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Aphantasia Test

Aphantasia Test - Symptoms and Signs

Wondering if you have aphantasia (little to no “mind’s eye” imagery)? This aphantasia test is based on the well-known VVIQ-style approach to visual imagery: you’ll rate how vivid your mental images are in everyday scenarios (faces, places, objects, and scenes). Get a clear, easy-to-read summary of your imagery vividness range and how it compares across situations. This is an informational self-check, not a medical diagnosis.
