Your VVIQ Result: Hypophantasic
What is Hypophantasia?
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. Hypo-phantasia means a reduced capacity to form mental images, hypo- meaning ‘low.’ It’s almost like experiencing aphantasia, or no mental images. People with hypophantasia may have some visual imagination, but it tends to be less vivid or detailed like a fuzzy or black-and-white film.
What does this mean?
Hypophantasia is a fascinating point on the visual imagination spectrum. It may influence:
- How you process visual information
- Your approach to creative tasks
- The way you recall memories
Many hypophantasics find unique ways to compensate for less vivid imagery, often excelling in fields that require abstract thinking.

Curious about your hypophantasic experience? Ponder these questions:
- How would you describe the visual images you can conjure?
- Do some types of imagery (objects, faces, scenes) come more easily than others?
- How do your visualization abilities affect your day-to-day life?
The Visual Imagination Spectrum
Your hypophantasic experience places you on 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 the diversity of human cognition.

👋 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
