I guess I’m 1. No, I don’t watch “adult video”.
I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.
Yes, why?
pet theory: porn is for people who can’t fantasise
I disagree, I can fantasize, but sometimes I’m too lazy
One thing I’m learning from this thread is maybe some people can visualise but it takes them effort?
Strange to imagine minds that are not one’s own.
Imo its just a different thing.
Like, 1 or 2 here with sort of moving images like memories, sounds, conversations.
I still listen to interviews despite being able to make up convos in my head. I watch comedy despite being able to make up jokes and funny stories.
I watch movies despite being able to visualise whatever i want.
I mean, one thing is to imagine an apple, imagining moving people is on a while another level.
I mean for me it’s like a checklist. But it goes by fast. Like I’ll list the characteristics and then apply them to a kind of “3D model” in my head.
Or I’ll just use past objects from my memory. I’ve seen lots of apples in my life, lol.

This sounds familiar.
What is this scale?
Percent apple of your brain.
It’s meant to roughly gauge how clearly you picture things in your mind’s eye by asking you which apple you see when prompted to imagine one. #5 references the lack of a mind’s eye in people with Aphantasia (coincidentally this Wikipedia article has this same chart as a header image)
Oh, I see! Thank you!
Up to 1 with effort. My fiancee is a 5, which if I hadn’t already known beforehand that that’s even possible, I would have been surprised to learn.
- What do you mean by adult video? Like, porn?
I think it’s more like videos about lawnmowers and the history of jazz music.
lol
I’m a 4.5 and those are my favorite shows.
The adult videos about job hunting/going to work, paying bills and taxes, doing dishes and laundry, doing shopping and cooking
1 and yes normally. But I have sometimes had extended spells of no internet or computer access in which case I’ve used my own mind.
If you think this is cool, how many inner dialogues do y’all have?
1 or 2 I guess? Also what’s wrong with watching adult videos?
They are assuming you can visualize what ever you want and don’t need the videos
Oh then i can… I still watch videos cause I want to be done with it; otherwise I read smut
Uhm, not sure where I lie on this scale I guess. Is this the real scale or some abstract representation? Personally it’s a 1 or 2 for me, but the image constantly changes and is never quite stable. There can be quite some detail, but it’s only very temporary. Once I focus on some other part of the apple and go back everything is different
I’m between 4 and 5, and no, I don’t need to. I can conceptualize things pretty well, I just can’t do it visually.
Adult video? Fuck no. Extremely degenerate furry hentai on the other hand…
Not so much these days. I have a lot of neglected home projects that I need to get done. Can’t imagine how 3 and 4s are handling things these days.
TIL people can imagine colour.
TIL some people can visualize but it’s in black & white or devoid of color all together.
For me, I can visualize things from 2 up to entire scenes. I don’t “see” it like with my eyes, it’s like a dream, sometimes a vivid dream.
I could dream up a scene right now involving me buying 20 photorealistic apples in a store I often go to. I thought this is normal and everyone does that.
TIL color is not the default mode for everyone
I’m a 1 and of course I do. Imagination is like playing with dolls. You already know everything going on. It’s not the same as watching something made by other people.
The term you are looking for is aphantasia.
Only for a 5.
