You say "apple" to me and I'm #1, glossy skin, insides, all that

And how in the hell does one navigate life, or enjoy a book, if they're not a #1?! Reading a book is like watching a movie. I subconsciously assign actor's faces to characters and watch as the book rolls on.

Yet #5's are not handicapped in the slightest. They're so "normal" that mankind is just now figuring out we're far apart on this thing. Fucking weird.

EDIT: Showed this to my wife and she was somewhat mystified as to what I was asking. Pretty sure she's a 5. I get frustrated as hell when I ask her to describe a thing and she's clueless. "Did the radiator hose pop off, or is it torn and cracked?" "I don't know!"

EDIT2: The first Star Wars book after the movie came out was Splinter in the Mind's Eye. I feel like I got that title. What's it mean to you?

No snark, but how do you test this?

Like I can picture an apple, but it’s not real, so how do I know if I’m a 1 or a 4?

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

If he see something with one eye but not the other, is it real?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Describe the apple you see in your imagination. Color? Texture? Shadows? Environment? Can you draw your image?

There is some flexibility here; I tend to have different levels (1-4) based with numbers scaling to how awake I am. (More awake = less detail)

[–] Killer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I think it's the amount of detail when you picture it. Can you rotate it, cut it, maybe take bite out of it?

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Did you try to think of a real apple but got a not real picture of it? Can you change it into some different thing? Can you change it to a realistic picture if you want?

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I think the "test" is to describe a scene, then ask details that weren't explicitly described, but would be necessary to fill in the gaps. It requires honesty (nothing to prevent 5s from making up answers post-hoc or 1s just feigning ignorance.)

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

If you think of how an apple looks and you get a visual representation, depending on how detailed it is. If not, you're a 5.
