Wait. I'm a 1. I didn't know there were people that can't visualize.
I mean, it makes sense I guess. Vision isn't the only way to perceive something. Feelings, sounds, smells etc are just as valid.
I would love to know if you’re good at drawing and the like? I am a 5 on the scale and I have always excelled in school and university, but I can’t draw worth a damn. Hell my handwriting is pretty bad too.
I would also call myself a 1, but I am not even remotely good at drawing. I also wouldn’t say I can “see” things in my mind like I can with my eyes, it’s more like I can imagine the way something looks in the same manner as remembering a vivid memory.
My internal monologue is constant though. Every time I read something or think of something is like that cartoon inside out. I have a mini me that lives in my head.
You’ll get a kick out of this, I don’t see my memories either. If I try hard I can remember some visual details like “you wore a red shirt” or “the car was a Mazda” but I’m not seeing it. I’m remembering it all in words.
