I see the red one. I tend to remember very bright colors more.
definitely. Learning things like building forms from basic shape/ structure has been really helpful since it helps me visualize better on the paper. Interesting enough, I'm pretty good with visualizing light and color, but only realistically. It's hard for me to alter the light to be more "creative" in my head. That's a great skill to have.
Ahaha probably that you will have the same problem I have when making thumbnails for comics, no pause button 
For me, I can see something between 1 and 2, but it's very transparent. Sometimes I have a really good grasp of how I want to draw a picture, and sometimes I struggle making sense of what's in my head to put into visual form.
I've gotten into a few lighthearted arguments with a friend over this. They're strictly at 5 while I consider myself a 1 and it causes a lot of difficulty with communication.
I used to be convinced that the issue with this topic was that people were interpreting the question differently. Like obviously I don't literally and physically SEE an apple like some kind of projection, but maybe people who think they're a 5 are interpreting the question like that. With how prevalent the discussion is, though, I've had to accept that's probably not the case, lol.
Either way, it's hard to imagine being anything other than 1. I can turn the apple around, change its colors, texture, zoom in and out, etc. That being said, I can't exactly see the end result of whatever I'm about to draw when I'm just starting. Sure I've got the camera angles and posing more or less there, but there's still an element of unpredictability that comes from execution and my ideas just changing on a whim throughout the drawing. That's the kind of thing that's hard to visualize ahead of time because I just don't know what I'll do until I get there.
On the plus side, I think not being able to see a drawing ahead of time is what makes it exciting to draw in the first place.
Yeah, I'd say I'm between a 1 or 2, depending on how familiar I am with what I'm imagining. I'd say it can be pretty clear at times, and kind of fuzzy other times. BUT- I actually need my eyes open to visualise properly.
This definitely impacts my writing and drawing process- I usually listen to music and imagine scenes in my head, helping me do a lot of mental planning. For me, it feels like watching a movie that only I can see. However, this can cause frustration when I'm trying to put it to a page, where usually it doesn't look exactly like planned.
But yeah, I still do a ton of planning for my pages ahead of time, and I've accepted that it's gonna appear different to how I imagined it, which allows me to make changes that improve readability for readers.
With novels on the other hand, I feel I'm allowed to leave my vision for it intact (since I'm not drawing it myself) I just have to find a way to explain and describe things to viewers so that they can visualise it similarly for themselves.
The ol apple test huh..I visualise 1 but you will have to take my word for it 
But seriously. when drawing I pre meditate (with chosen music) and can clearly visualise what I want to create (like a film or a waking dream) I constantly play out the whole comic beginning to end in my head, It helps tie those loose ends, It never comes out exactly as envisioned but when it is close its satisfying.
Brains are like sponges constantly absorbing information..so its there for everyone to unlock. For me though Its hard to switch it off once it kicks in.
I always thought this was normal for everyone but I later found this is not the case. If I didn't have that then I would struggle so I appreciate why it would be for others.

This one.
Imagination is part of desire.

It's not even an exaggeration entirely, I feel things like the tactile sensation of the apple, the taste, how it looks reflectled in a cool light
great for ideas, BAD to actually hold visualization

I also have ADHD. I tend to hyper focus though if I like doing something though. Like “Yay, I’m going to do this.”
Then it’s like the whole world disappears and I look around and it’s 5am 
I have to set alarms.
None of the above; I imagined a green apple >:[
Haha but to actually address the spirit of the question, it was a 1 for apples specifically, but that might've just been because I saw an apple recently 
When I try to imagine something I didn't see recently (or straight up doesn't exist in reality), it's more like a 3 XD
I generally don't need to do a lot of trial and error when drawing nowadays, but I also don't feel like I struggle too much with getting the drawing to match my imagination (nowadays) c: Guess I got lucky :'D
It sounds like most of us here are maladaptive daydreamers. I can also visualize things like in a movie and it's the most fun thing I do in the day. It's also the only way I can fall asleep.
I see 1 too.
This is the biggest neurodiverse mood. My brain imagines a perfect, shiny gala apple...for one second, and then goes "I'M BORED. Why think about just apple?" and gets distracted by some sort of ambient noise in my surroundings, something interesting I just saw, thinking about something I heard related to apples, imagining the feeling of apple skin squeaking against my teeth...
