The following survey will feature questions from the VVIQ Questionnaire, as well as questions focused on creative problem solving. 


VVIQ, the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire, explores the vividness of your visual imagination. It was created in 1973 by British psychologist David Marks and is proven to be an accurate test of the vividness with which you can see people, objects, or settings in your mind’s eye.
