Picture a red apple.
What did you actually get?
No sensory experience, just knowingJust the word. You know what an apple is; nothing shows up.
Some people see it, shiny and red. Some just know what an apple is. Twelve prompts across four senses, and you describe what really shows up.
No account needed. Pictures bother you? Quiet mode hides them.
Four senses
Not just pictures.
Sounds, moves, warmth.
The test asks about four kinds of imagining, three prompts each. Pick a sense, then slide from knowing to vivid.
ToyA toy. Nothing here is scored or saved.
ImagineA red apple on a table.
Shiny, lit, practically on the table.
There is no right answer
Same apple.
Five different heads.
Ask five people to picture an apple and you can get five different answers, from a full-colour picture to just the word. The test counts every one of them.
From the test’s own instructions“Knowing what something is like without sensing it is a valid response.”
What you get
Four senses.
Four readings.
Each sense gets its own reading from 1 to 5, the average of your three answers for it. No verdict and no type: a description of what you said you experience.
- One reading per sense, 1 to 5
- Three prompts behind each reading
- Knowing without sensing counts too
The honest part
It describes.
It doesn’t diagnose.
An original descriptive reflection, not a validated imagery questionnaire. These responses cannot diagnose aphantasia or establish what another person experiences.
Where the prompts come from
Twelve original TPP prompts for describing imagery across four kinds of experience.
Not an aphantasia test.
Some people with little or no imagery use the word aphantasia. These answers can’t tell you whether it fits you; they only describe what you reported.
Only you can look inside.
Nobody can check what another person experiences, us included. You describe it; the report adds up your answers.
Quiet mode.
The pictures in the test are decorative. If they get in the way of your own, Quiet mode hides them.
Close your eyes.
Then start.
