How does your imagination work?
The Four-Factor Imagination Scale (FFIS) is a validated self-report measure developed by researchers Darya L. Zabelina at the University of Arkansas and David M. Condon at the University of Oregon to assess four distinct aspects of imagination:
- Frequency: How often you engage in imaginative thinking
- Complexity: How detailed and intricate your imaginings are
- Emotional Valence: The emotional tone of your imaginings
- Directedness: How purposeful or goal-oriented your imaginings are
Note: This survey is not a diagnostic tool. It is part of a research study exploring the multifaceted nature of imagination across the spectrum of imagery experiences, including aphantasia.
Instructions: Read each statement below and select how accurately it describes you, from Very inaccurate (1) to Very accurate (6). There are no right or wrong answers—be honest.
