Okay, I have aphantasia. This make me little sad. Do you have aphantasia? Do you know something about this? Is there any useful side?

I have aphantasia. I could find or invent reasons as to why I think it's useful or advantageous but ultimately I don't know to what extent I'm handicapped (or not handicapped) by not having an imagination.

Have you read Blake Ross' (co-creator of Firefox) write-up on aphantasia?

Craig Venter (creator of first synthetic life-form) attributed his academic success to his aphantasia: My mind’s eye is blind – so what’s going on in my brain?

I'm glad they finally put a word on this. I don't have it, but I knew an ISTP who had it.

I've read books on visualization and the author mentioned a lot of his pupils having difficulty visualizing. Because they thought they had to really see something in their mind's eye.
When he turned the focus onto sense of touch, everyone became much more successful.
