I like this test because it’s not your answer, it’s your reaction to the question that matters. If you read this and think “uhh is that a trick question?” then you probably have aphantasia.

My initial reaction to reading this the first time was to go reread the story more closely to find the answer. But the answer isn’t in the story. For many people the answer is just a truth that exists when they hear the story and are asked the question. If it’s not you likely have aphantasia.



Maybe you are just very lazy at filling in the details of the scenery? A questionnaire based approach doesn't sound very objective to me. A condition with the only "realiable" diagnostic being the VVIQ test, is not a condition at all.
