Comment on Many people have no mental imagery. What's going on in their brains?parent

It's exactly as another commenter thoughtfully replied. My mind works better which rules, interactions between systems, teasing out insights in complicated data, understanding where things break down between boundaries, foreseeing issues that people wouldn't think of well before they come up, etc.

While I'm not sure this is directly related, but even things like being a participant in a multi-party conversation and watching 2 people have a discussion and instantly pick up on the fact that person 1 interpreted something in a certain way that doesn't match up with person 2's interpretation of it. Super handy being able to instantly just jump in and say "by the way I think person 1's understood that to mean this instead of that".
