Desde 1909 hasta la actualidad se han construido y utilizado mucho los cuestionarios para medir la capacidad de los sujetos para formar imágenes mentales; sin embargo, han sido muy discutidos, fundamentalmente porque las autopuntuaciones de imagen están contaminadas por las expectativas sociales.
Nosotros estudiamos la relación de la autoestima y la autoimagen con la viveza subjetiva de imagen visual. Presentamos a 93 estudiantes de Formación Profesional un test objetivo de imagen, un test subjetivo de imagen, una medida de autoestima y una de autoimagen. Obtuvimos correlaciones significativas entre la autoestima y la medida subjetiva de imagen, y entre la autoimagen y la medida subjetiva de imagen; sin embargo, la autoestima y la autoimagen no correlacionaron significativamente con un test objetivo de imagen.
