⚠️ Disclaimer: This is a self-report screening tool, not a diagnosis. Aphantasia and hyperphantasia are normal variations in how minds work, not disorders, and most people who score in either extreme are otherwise entirely typical. Imagery vividness can also vary with the topic, your mood and how tired you are.
