wtf fam! i also thought i could visualize but it’s just black
an exercise: imagine a circle inscribed in a square. what shape does the part of the square that’s outside the circle make? i can do this easily. and i always assumed i was picturing it. but is it possible i’m not actually picturing anything? how??

Yeah I also can do this easily. But if you really piush me on the granularity of my mental "image" it's not that visual. I feel like we are missing axes on how to evaluate internal thinking.

My visualization in the original poll started at #1, but I could get it to go towards #6 by persisting. I have a huge capacity for something I call spatialization, which is like visualization but for shapes, not sight. It's not directly sensory...

Same, I visualize it by "retracing" it and tracking the shape, rather than "looking" at it. Ditto to those exercises where you mentally rotate a shape

Think about the implications of dressing well for first impressions. Are people really seeing us when they think of us?!

I can do this easily, and it doesn’t involve any visualisation - it is just knowing. I find it fascinating that lots of people without aphantasia fee like they need to visualise to do tasks which I ‘just know’. But maybe visualising is their justing knowing!
