Hm, not at the speed of reading. Takes a bit of slowing down to get some.

A complication is that a lot of these are from elementary school geometry books, so i tend to just remember the answer before getting a chance to look at it.

Can you imagine each Tetris shape, one after the other, in some kind of spatial way? Can you "make" the L shaped one sit on its short side then lie down on the long side?

[Artlav]

Sure. And it makes a clang as it falls.

Can't quite play tetris, however - i start to lose track of the pieces once there are like 5-10 of them.

[saberdancer]

I can think about L shaped one standing upright or lying down on the long side. I don't see them though.

[bonoboTP]

Can you do this? "You see the silhouette of a cube, viewed from the corner. What does it look like?"

Or mark the edges of a cube into thirds, and cut off each of its corners back to the marks. What does the result look like? Can you mentally rotate this shape around?

[saberdancer]

I don't really see anything. If I attempt to visualize a cube from the corner, I can maybe say I can see the corner and three edges leading from it (to be honest, it's hard to say that I truly see it, but maybe a vague outline of three lines). I don't see the remainder of the cube.

If I try to imagine a cube, and then mark the edges into thirds, I cannot imagine what remains when I cut off corners back to the mark. And the cube itself is more of an idea of a cube rather than visual representation.

I cannot mentally rotate the shape as I do not see a shape.

I'm sure it's hard to believe, but trust me, it's hard for me to believe people can visualize in the way people describe.
