Same here. I didn't think I had aphantasia at all until I tried this test and then realised that me "visualising" something doesn't really bear any relation to being able to see a visual representation of that thing. Mostly it just felt like pulling up memories, and in fact when it asked me to visualise a rainbow I simply couldn't, though I could "see" one when I thought about a photo of a rainbow I took not so long ago. But again, that feels more like simply remembering.
