Yes there are tests, an MRI. Anyone claiming to have it is probably self-diagnosed and full of it. I'm tired of the self-diagnoses of everything trend over the last 5 or so years, sorry if my tone isn't the best.

I'm tired of all the gatekeeping by the health industry telling us that we need to use their absurd rube goldberg processes, which often tell us "no", to know anything about ourselves.
Gatekeeping != Rigor. Set the bar higher.
Doesn’t apply. Aphantasia is not recognized as a medical issue and there are no official diagnoses being conducted.
This is my conclusion as well although I did find a paper that said you could use an MRI of the vision region to tell.
