mental images
I am curious about peoples tendency to 'see' or not 'see' a visual mental image when thinking about certain things. I know that some people have a tendency to 'see' an image in their mind of anything that is emphasized, while others seem not to see any visual images at all (yet are able to give detailed descriptions regardless).
I have written up these 7 (2 part) questions that ask what you are able to visualise. There are a few other questions below that I added last minute that may be interesting as well. This is purely for personal interest, so any extra information is more then welcome. If you would like you can either comment here, on my lj (qu_is) or email me at photoshop_es@mac.com
1. "When you think of a person - do you see a mental image of them?"
"If so - is it a spontaneous image or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
2. "When you think of, or hear about an object (say a tulip) - do you see a mental image of it?"
"If so - is it a spontaneous image or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
3. "When you think of, or hear about a scene (say a tropical beach) - do you see a mental image of it?"
"If so - is it a spontaneous image or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
4. "When you think of a memory- do you see a mental image of it?"
"If so - is it a spontaneous image or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
5. "When you think of, or hear, a number (say 943)- do you see a mental image of it?"
"If so - is it a spontaneous image or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
6. "When you think of, or hear, a word (say consideration) - do you see a mental image of it?"
"If so - is it a spontaneous image or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
7. "If/When you see a word or a number in your mind - do you attach some sort of sensory information to it (say colour or sound)? "If so - is it a spontaneous association or do you need to concentrate in order to create it?"
Other Questions:
8. Do remember your dreams? Are they vivid?
9. Do you know any personality profiles that you relate to. (eg: myers briggs)
10. What is your occupation and or area of study?
11. What would be your chosen occupation?
12. What is your primary interest area?
13. Anything else you might consider relevant?
Thanks.
