A full reading of one imagery context
This group concerns a paper square rotating, a marble rolling down a ramp and a paper flag moving side to side. You are asked about any pictured movement, not how correctly you understand the action or whether you can physically perform it. The page itself presents text rather than moving stimuli.
All three numeric responses are needed for a rated sum and mean. Zero means no visual image was reported; a skip means no usable rating. These original numbers are not a diagnosis, percentile or measure of actual performance.
Movement in a mental picture
- This group concerns a paper square rotating, a marble rolling down a ramp and a paper flag moving side to side. You are asked about any pictured movement, not how correctly you understand the action or whether you can physically perform it. The page itself presents text rather than moving stimuli.
- An experience might feel like continuous movement, a few separate still positions, a faint impression or only knowledge that something moves. Choose the nearest original description without forcing a movie-like sequence. Nothing has to appear as an external projection, and there is no target speed or duration.
The numbers summarize chosen descriptions
- With three numeric answers, the site adds the 0–4 values and divides by three, displaying an unrounded mean to two decimals. A sum of 12 and mean of 4.00 mean you selected the highest description on all three prompts, not that your imagery was objectively perfect or stronger than everyone else’s.
- For example, 1, 2 and 2 give a sum of 5 and a displayed mean of 1.67. That extra decimal comes from arithmetic, not extra precision in measuring your mind. We do not turn the mean into a percentage, compare it with norms or label a clinical category.
Keep the physical and imagined tasks apart
- You may know how a square changes orientation by reasoning about its corners without picturing a rotation. That can still be a sensible way to understand the prompt. This questionnaire has no timed mental-rotation problem, no right-angle answer and no check on how accurately an imagined movement follows physical rules.
- Likewise, a pictured marble rolling does not establish your coordination, athletic ability, balance or ability to learn a movement. Those tasks require different evidence. This group should not be used to recommend sports, judge motor function or infer what kind of work you can safely perform.
Not a pupil or binocular-rivalry experiment
- Researchers have used controlled displays, eye tracking and other laboratory tasks to investigate imagery. These methods collect different information from a brief subjective rating. This page does not use your camera, measure pupil responses or reproduce an experiment simply by asking you to imagine a shape.
- No flashing patterns, bright-light exposure, after-image procedure or special eyewear is part of this questionnaire. Do not perform extra sensory tricks to obtain a result. The research links explain why subjective and objective evidence must be distinguished; they do not validate these twelve new prompts.
No image and no rating are different
- If you made a comfortable attempt and had no visual image to rate, select zero. If you did not try, are unsure about the wording or prefer to skip, select the separate option. Neither choice is penalized, but they describe different information and cannot be combined as the same score.
- Any skip means this group has no sum or mean, without filling in a number or using the other two as substitutes. Other complete groups remain available. Twelve explicit skips can finish and reveal all four guides, so you do not need to force a rating in order to read the content.
An optional way to examine a real task
- If you are learning a simple everyday sequence, you could compare an external demonstration with written steps. Choose the format that makes the actual task clearer and check it safely against real requirements. Your questionnaire mean should not decide whether you are allowed to learn through a particular format.
- This suggestion does not promise better motor learning, improved memory or a cure for absent imagery. It is a practical option to consider without assigning yourself a fixed learning style. If something does not work for the task, changing the aid may be more informative than trying to raise the score.
A bounded observation, with privacy
- The four contexts are editorial groups in an original, unvalidated questionnaire. There is no overall imagery score, dominant type, VVIQ conversion or comparison with other people. A different response next time may reflect the prompt, circumstances or interpretation; this page is not validated for tracking change.
- Responses stay in page memory and clear when you leave, refresh, change language or retake. Public links carry no answers or scores. If an experience worries you, seek appropriate advice based on what is happening in daily life rather than treating this numerical summary as a diagnosis.
