Visual Imagination
How vividly you picture people, objects, and scenes in your mind's eye.
Developed by Aphantasia Network
Why does your imagination feel different from everyone else's?
A 12-minute assessment that maps how vividly — or invisibly — your mind imagines across six senses. Most people walk away with language for something they've felt their whole lives but never been able to name.

Some Minds See in Photographs. Others See Nothing at All.
Around 1% of people have aphantasia — no mind's eye whatsoever. Another 3% have severely reduced imagery. Most people fall somewhere on the spectrum without ever knowing where.
No imageryHyper-vivid imagery
These differences extend beyond vision — into sound, touch, taste, smell, and movement. They aren't deficiencies; they shape how you learn, remember, create, and communicate. Knowing where you fall changes the conversation you have with yourself.
Your Imagination Across Six Senses
Unlike visual-only tests like the VVIQ, we measure the full sensory shape of how your mind simulates experience—one profile, six dimensions, so you're not reduced to a single number.
Auditory Imagination
How clearly you can hear voices, songs, and sounds internally.
Olfactory Imagination
How strongly imagined scents are experienced without a real source.
Gustatory Imagination
How real imagined flavors feel when no food is present.
Tactile Imagination
How deeply touch and body sensations can be recreated in imagination.
Motor Imagination
How distinctly you can mentally rehearse movement and action.
This is what $19.99 actually unlocks.
Full six-sense breakdown, percentile ranking, and personalized interpretation for each dimension. Explore three example profiles across the imagination spectrum.

Stories from Across the Spectrum
Notes from people who took the assessment and wrote in afterward — from aphantasia to hyperphantasia, and everywhere in between.
"I always assumed everyone visualized the same way I do. Turns out I'm Hyperphantasia — and suddenly so much about how I work and remember things makes sense."
"I have aphantasia and scored near zero on visual imagery — but my auditory and motor scores were surprisingly high. This reframed how I think about my own creativity."
"We ran this with our whole team. Understanding each other's imagery profiles changed how we communicate and collaborate. Worth every minute."

Questions Before You Start
Honest answers about pricing, science, and what to expect.
Is the assessment really free?
Yes — the assessment and your teaser results are completely free, no credit card needed. You'll see your overall score and imagery type. The full report ($19.99) unlocks your complete six-sense breakdown, percentile ranking, and a personalized narrative interpreting how your imagination works.
What's the difference between free and paid results?
The free teaser shows your overall imagination score and imagery type (e.g., Phantasia, Hyperphantasia). The paid report ($19.99) reveals which of your six senses is strongest, your full score breakdown, how you compare to others (percentile ranking), and a personalized narrative explaining what your profile means for learning, creativity, and communication. Most people who start free unlock the full report — it's the 'aha' moment.
What if I have aphantasia (no mind's eye)?
The assessment works for everyone. You'll get a profile across all six senses; many people with aphantasia have strong auditory, motor, or other imagery. Your results help explain how you learn and remember differently.
How is this different from the VVIQ?
VVIQ focuses on visual imagery only. Imagination Index measures six sensory dimensions and generates a personalized profile with optional detailed reporting—so you're not reduced to a single number.
Is this scientifically valid?
The assessment is built on the same research foundations as tools like the VVIQ and multisensory questionnaires (e.g. Psi-Q). We measure validated dimensions of imagery vividness across senses.
How long does it take?
Most people complete the core assessment in around 12 minutes.
Can I retake the assessment?
Yes. Each retake includes a fresh full report and is priced the same as your first ($19.99) — we don't include free retakes because scoring and interpretation runs again from scratch. Your dashboard shows past attempts side-by-side so you can track how your imagery changes over time.
How does team pricing work?
Team seats include each member's profile plus aggregate team views. Pricing scales with seat count, with stronger discounts at higher volume.
