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??

For whatever it's worth, I think I am 99th percentile at this (I can play chess without looking at the board). For me I process all information through images and I don't understand how other people think, which is why I find aphantasia interesting. Anyways...my 2 cents.
My question is, for the people who can see the red star, are you creative? People who cannot? I think this is correlated.

I for sure think this is correlated. And wonder if there's a even higher form of being able to see--being able to see all potential future forms Your description of what you can do is fascinating, because that makes tons of sense--but makes clear you can visualize more than me

I also wonder that, but don't have an answer that relates to creativity. Of course, being able to rotate or warp an object in your mind is helpful for tasks such as mechanical engineering or design. I also wonder if the ability to visualize is related to ambition.
