I’m like a 1-2, not always photo-realistic but I’m a highly visual person so it comes naturally to me.

i can visualize the apple or whatever and like rotate it in my brain, change the lighting, etc. or like, i dunno a spaceship or exoplanet or future hovercraft it sucks because my brain and coordination don't match so despite trying really hard i can't really art despite being able to make brain art. i wish there was a non-invasive, non-Elon brain interface device that let me bypass my "stupid fingers".

I tend to have a really high visual memory, but I also have the monologue, which means that when I read, it's kinda like a narrated movie, which allows me to speed-read fiction and non-fiction with pretty great recall, but it annihilates my ability to do abstract math that I can't visualize. Fortunately, most things I work with are within Newtonian physics and probability, but anything outside of that is a nightmare for me to memorize.

I CAN ROTATE A CUBE WITH MY MIND

I'd say normally I'm around a 2 to 4, but if I'm focusing I can do 1. Nothing like actually seeing though, with proper seeing the stuff still has detail if I'm not concentrating.

If I'm sitting on public transport I'm usually flipping through movie or machine ideas in between hexbear browsing

I can’t see shit 😎

4.8 I can see the apple I gated for the chickens yesterday (it had a bum) but its like a snap shot and it is really hard too keep it there. But I can imagine biting it and feel in my mouth and hear the crunch as clear as if I was actually eating it.

since i CAD and draw a lot i think I really have to see stuff in my head

i can't imagine doing anything without that

As a qualia, this is very hard to communicate. I wonder if there's a genuine, measurable difference here, or if what I think of as 'visualising' is the same as them thinking of ideas and feelings. Nobody like, has a second vision they use, it's just.. remembering a sight as if you're looking at it now.

Look at the “no-apple” thinker!

Yeah I'm a 1 on the scale. I honestly thought everyone could visualise like that, until I joined study groups in high school.

Mines closer to 1 but I just visualize a memory of the apple, like visualizing my fruit basket
