Think you might have aphantasia? The good news is, it’s easy to test for! Don’t bother with long tests and complicated procedures. The best test, by far, is the simple red star test. Close your eyes and think of a red star, then look at the image below. Choose the image which best describes what you can see in your mind. If you see nothing, your answer is one, even though you may think of the “idea” of a red star. A score of one means you have aphantasia. Any other score indicates your level of visualization ability with a score of six indicating you might have hyperphantasia – the opposite of aphantasia. Try it now!
