The apple is a bit darker than the example image, but it seems to only take one shade, so I picked the second option. For some reason I can also absurdly elongate or shorten the stem of the apple, it makes it look really funny.

I don't know because I can't tell whether I'm only knowing the properties of the apple (e.g. small white dots on the skin, the colour of the stem of the leaf) or actually "seeing" them in my "mind's eye". It can't be measured.

this is the real answer to this btw, how you interpret the question being asked.

I was beginning to think I was retarded for me it's more like I'm imagining the concept of an apple in my head I'm not really visualizing anything but I guess that's just how most people do it

Maybe emotions could be a better indicator of the clarity of your mind's eye. For example, a child cries in fear visualizing a scary photo he saw, he has a clearer mind's eye than a child who finds the photo just as scary (evidenced by their reaction to seeing it in real life -- that is, with the body's eye rather than the mind's eye) but didn't cry imagining it. Aldoe this test outlined here still has a million variables (e.g. what happened in the time between the first viewing of the image and the crying, how the child forgets, etc.).

Yeah, I always thought the question was misleading. The same way that when you have an internal monologue you don't actually "hear" anything. I can imagine a voice, I can give it different tone or pitch or intonation or speed, but I will never hear it because I'm not a fucking schizophrenic.
Similarly, I can imagine an apple or someone's face or a room, and details within it, but I can't exactly see anything no matter how vivid my imagination gets. Some may have better, more powerful imagination than others, but I do doubt anyone has a theater in their head. Or maybe I'm just blind in my noggin, who's to say.

To add, I also think the whole thing was a bit tainted by the NPC meme, making people exaggerate and identify with one side regardless of what's truly going on in their head because, as you said, it's immeasurable. Matter of interpretation so to speak.

Yeah I hate it when I see this image and everyone acts like they can just like project shit in front of their eyes that always confused me I'm glad you told it how it really is

If I visualize something in my head I literally stop seeing my surroundings in real life

Maybe thats why Ive always had trouble paying attention in school because anytime I would think/imagine something my entire surroundings would get heavily subdued

Sometimes I get lost in my head and I go unresponsive if that's what you mean
