Your VVIQ Result: Phantasic
What is Phantasia?
Phantasia is the ability to picture things in your mind. The word comes from ancient times when thinkers like Aristotle talked about how our minds can create mental pictures. People with phantasia can “see” things in their thoughts, like picturing a beach or remembering a friend’s face. It’s not as vivid as seeing with our eyes, but it has a very distinct visual quality which is why it is often referred to as ‘seeing with the mind’s eye.’ For phantasics, their mind is like a vintage or classic film, showing both memories from the past and images of the future.
What does this mean?
Your visual imagination is a powerful cognitive tool. It allows you to:
- Vividly recall memories
- Plan and visualize future scenarios
- Enhance problem-solving by mentally manipulating objects
- Boost creativity in various fields
However, everyone’s experience is unique. Your visual imagination is just one facet of your cognitive toolkit.
Explore Your Mind's Eye
Curious about the extent of your visual abilities? Here are some questions to ponder:
- Can you easily change colors or shapes of imagined objects?
- How detailed are the faces you visualize?
- Can you “walk through” an imagined house with ease?
The Visual Imagination Spectrum
Your phantasic abilities place you in the middle of the visual imagination spectrum:
Aphantasia <-> Hypophantasia <-> Phantasia <-> Hyperphantasia
Each point on this spectrum represents a unique way of experiencing the world. By understanding our differences, we gain insights into human cognition and creativity.

👋 Hi there, I’m Tom—founder of Aphantasia Network.
In 2011, I discovered I had aphantasia—the inability to visualize images in my mind. This revelation changed my life, leading me to become the first identified case featured in the New York Times in 2015.
Since then, I’ve connected with thousands who share this unique way of thinking. Their stories of isolation, confusion, and curiosity inspired me to create Aphantasia Network.
Our mission? To bring aphantasia from academic obscurity to mainstream awareness, fostering research and building a supportive community.
Today, we’re a thriving network:
- 60,000+ newsletter subscribers
- 1,200,000+ aphantasia test takers
- Featured in NYT, Forbes, CBC, and WSJ
