I think I am a 5. I feel like I am imagining an apple but then I am not sure whether I "see" the thing I am imagining or not. It's weird.
I guess I’m 1. No, I don’t watch “adult video”.
I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.
People are not all one? Do yo really imagine grey potatoes when someone says apple.
I'm still coming to terms of people who don't think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??

I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I'm a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that "minds eye" is not a metaphor for most people.

I don't get this, I'm none of these. I doubt I'm special.
I'm a 1 and of course I do. Imagination is like playing with dolls. You already know everything going on. It's not the same as watching something made by other people.
If you think this is cool, how many inner dialogues do y'all have?
1 and yes normally. But I have sometimes had extended spells of no internet or computer access in which case I've used my own mind.
When I was young, my mind was super visual. People would talk, and there would be a stream of pictures and videos in my mind. Then I got really into reading and writing and, over the years, my mine got much less visual. I still can visualize things, but it's not the way my mind really works. It's closer to an audio book, but isn't really sound, either.
3 or 4, but I can 'see' the geometry and motion of one or more objects interacting with each other or the environment. Rotation, deformation, shear, impact etc.
It is less so that I can 'see' and more that I can 'feel' and visually conceptualize that sensation in my mind. Albeit not 'vividly'.
That might lend itself to other things
yes because most of the time, it feels better to be able to turn my brain off.
But I am able to use stuff like AI Dungeon as an alternative if I need it.
I'm like a 3-ish, and I do. I equally enjoy adult books though, if that helps or complicates whatever you're trying to suss out.
