"Neuroscience researchers" but you don't post a source, just an essay on how invested you are in this being real.

One

Two

Three

These are by Rebecca Keogh (and others), an actual cognitive neuroscience specialist/psychology researcher who has a PhD from one of the most well-regarded universities in Australia. Here they establish that there is real evidence that aphantasiacs lack mental imagery, and finds that there is no evidence backing the claim that "aphantasiacs have mental imagery". Keogh also has some works that delve deeper into mental imagery and how it's a spectrum, including aphantasiacs and hyperphantasiacs.

Paper by Liana Palermo, PhD in cognitive neuroscience and specialist in mental imagery research, who very bluntly accepts the existence of multiple types of aphantasia & hyperphantasia

This paper by CJ Dance addresses the prevalence of aphantasia and how it is, again, a spectrum, and discredits the idea that it isn't simply an impairment in metacognition, rather it is an isolated deficit in visual imagery.

Here's a paper involving MANY medical, psychology, and neuroscience researchers which goes over aphantasia and hyperphantasia research, and has many citations to papers that affirm the existence of aphantasia.

A paper by a STEM/IM researcher finding evidence for deficits in mathematic visualization in aphantasiacs.

Paolo Bartolomeo is a highly accreddited neurologist & researcher, and Jianghao Liu is a cognitive neuroscience researcher (PhD) with specialization in visual mental imagery and consciousness. The paper clearly states the existence of a disorder causing absent or nearly absent visual imagery called aphantasia.

Here's Cleveland Clinic casually affirming its existence too.

I shouldn't even have to give sources because I'm not the one claiming an abnormality in visual imagery is fake but here you go anyways.

It literally comes up immediately when you search for aphantasia research. You clearly have not even tried to find research on aphantasia. Now where are your sources? I notice you didn't link any, at all.

MBTI testing is also horseshit.

??? Where in the god damn fuck did I mention MBTI or personality tests in general in my original comment?

I didn't see it "debunked" on Hacker News and Reddit, those are the #1 aphantasia and ADHD havers in the entire world.

And yet you don't mention where you "saw it debunked", just stating that you totally did bro.

It's hilarious you think something less rigorous than IQ testing is on the same level as PTSD

Again, you are being crazy, you are quite literally making up arguments to attack out of your ass.

I don't know why you decided this is the hill for you to die on despite you clearly having no idea of what you're talking about and most respected psychology & neuroscience/cognition researchers who have tackled the subject clearly not being aligned with your views on the matter at all, and what makes you think you have any authority to just call a scientifically measured and agreed-to -exist phenomenon fake, but go ahead and have a tantrum and pretend you know anything about the subject I guess.

If you respond with internet magazines or a shitty YouTube video essay as your source I'm gonna laugh myself to asphyxiation
