I just did that quiz and the question about the sound of a trumpet getting louder made me notice that my imaginings of talking and instruments actually activate my vocal chords and neck muscles a bit; and imagining a trumpet is more like imagining someone make an imitation trumpet sound.

Also was hoping that quiz would ask about other senses; how easily people can choose to imagine tastes and smells, e.g. on their agree/disagree scales:

1. You can easily imagine the smell of freshly baked bread.

2. You can easily call to mind the taste of peanut butter.

3. You are melting chocolate and somebody suggests adding basil, you can vividly imagine how that would taste before trying it.

4. When remembering an event that happened to you, there is a strong smell memory included.

5. You can imagine feeling the weight and texture of a brick in your hands.
