| It seems that Aphantasia does not globally bin into two groups, since I don't fit in either. By my rough count of Figure 2 tests, where Derek is at 0 to Loren at 6 (ignoring F), I have about 3.5 atypical responses. My experience with Figure 2: A) I can flip between cone and weird triangle, saw the cone first B) I see it as if someone placed identical cat stickers on the drawing. I can intellectually understand the perspective, how the upper-right one is supposed to be bigger, but don't experience it that way. C) I see that there is an implicit rectangle (to me it looks slightly wider than tall). But the color doesn't "spread" to the middle, it's just like 2A -- a boundary in the surrounding shapes implicitly extends into the empty space to form a rectangle shape. D) It takes minimal, but non-zero effort to see the vase E) It's trivial to flip between the two orientations of the cube F) skipped G) I don't understand what I'm looking for here. I see clouds, sky, and a silhouette with a tree. Is there a face in it somewhere? I can see the smiley face on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia |
I believe you’re correct, since I commonly see it presented as a spectrum. https://aphantasia.com/study/vviq/
