I got 10/40. Hmm. Never even knew this was a thing.

It said I had hyperphantasia? Apparently I’m good at visualizing??

I got an offer to participate in research on people with amazing powers of visualization.

I’m glad I have extreme ability to visualize, etc. My mom has been gone for over eight years but I can see her when I think about her. I can feel the softness of her skin, her temperature (level of warmth), the flannel nightgown she always wore, and how she smelled. I can see her expressions, movements, and hear her voice… The only thing I can’t do is have an actual interaction with her. She’s just a vision.

I took the little quiz and it said this:

This score suggests that your visual imagery is more vivid than usual. Scores at the upper end of this range are suggestive of ‘hyperphantasia’: exceptionally strong powers of visualisation. About 23% of people score in this range, the highest of our five bands.

40% in the 33-40 range. Seems like we’ve got quite a few here who are rather good at visualising.

I think everyone who scored hyperphantasia got it! It just made me laugh, because the result was “please email this dude so he can study you.”

This score suggests that your visual imagery is more vivid than usual. Scores at the upper end of this range are suggestive of ‘hyperphantasia’

The range more vivid than usual starts at 34/40. The upper end of that range- 37+ ?

12

I was in the 37+ range, so perhaps the 34-36 people didn’t get the email? I’m not sure.

Edit: but I have heard in the past that hyperphantasia has been linked to a tendency towards hallucinations and delusions.

This score suggests that your visual imagery is more vivid than usual. Scores at the upper end of this range are suggestive of ‘hyperphantasia’: exceptionally strong powers of visualisation. About 23% of people score in this range, the highest of our five bands. If you consider your imagery to be exceptionally strong, and would like to be included in future research, you can contact the team at Exeter University through this email: a.zeman@exeter.ac.uk
Your score:
34/40

I would say you fall in the ‘upper range’.

Did aphantasia get the same offer? It seems like he would be interested in both extremes.

15

Approximately 5% of people fall into this, the lowest, score band. Your score suggests that your visual imagery is less rich than usual. You may lack visual imagery, the state scientists have described as aphantasia, particularly if your score is toward the lower end of the band. If you would like to be included in the research at Exeter University you can contact them through this email: a.zeman@exeter.ac.uk.
Your score:
8/40
