Probably 4. I technically have an imagination since I did pass that psy test where you interpret stories from image boards (according to my last psych eval), but my imagination is pretty weak

MODERATORS
Probably 3 or 4. My mind's eye is blind! Lol. I see in words, not pictures, and I'm very sensitive as well but I don't truly get "visual beauty".
Depends!
If I haven't seen it before, then 5. I literally cannot picture something I haven't seen before.
Most things are a 4 if I'm lucky.
If I've seen it a lot of times, like more than 20 times, maybe a 2 or 3. If I've seen it 100+ times then probably a 2. No, I cannot deviate from what I literally saw, and it may not even be that detailed.
4-5 typically.
I can do 1 but typically like a 3/4. My brain doesn’t generally consider color important unless it’s a key feature. Like if you ask me to rotate an object in my head for maintenance then its bare bones almost could consider it a wire mesh. But if it was a perfect sphere but with colored sections then I would see the colors because it’s the main way to orient it.
Does hyperphantasia count as 1 or 0?
Negative 4.
"Bro watchu chewin on?"
making cronching noises "... imaginary apple".

It is interesting to find out about aphantasia. I have anendophasia (having little or no internal monologue) so those with the condition that I have tend be on the extreme opposite end by having vivid imagination. My college classmate said she never get any dreams, but maybe because she probably has aphantasia.
It's like seeing reflections on glass over a black background. There is color, and I csn perceive details; but it's muted and dull.
Probably somewhere between 3 and 4.
I would notice it the most during exams, where when faced with a question I'd be able to recall how the page with the lesson was laid out, only I'd see blurry squiggles instead of letters.
