I feel like I’m between 4 and 5 if I try to imagine something on purpose but if I’m reading a book or someone is describing something to me I’m a solid 1 as I can vividly see what it’s being described.
Ide love to see what you can see when you read or listen to a book. It would take so much less energy to read as much as i do. It must be like watching a movie playout inside your head with the best narrator i could imagine
Short answer is, you can’t. That’s why I don’t read books.
Longer answer is that even if you read a book you can still understand what of happening in the book, you simply won’t get a visual image of what you read. Makes books pretty boring to read IMO.
That’s pretty interesting. I never gave it much thought, but apparently I’m between a 2 & 3 at the moment
I’m solidly a 1 and I can’t fathom anything else. I’d love to read studies about this.

You’re spot on. I genuinely tend to forget if I’ve read a book or watched a movie/series if it’s been a few years.
I’m a 1 on that chart and I struggle to understand how you can even follow what’s happening in a book without being able to imagine it.
I mean, you have to be able to fill in the gaps don’t you? Books can’t describe every detail.
Linked concepts and context.
