You'll find it interesting that people with aphantasia (I have total, multi-sensory aphantasia) counterintuitively score better on mental rotation tasks: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105381002...

I do indeed find that interesting. Checking the paper, it does make some sense to me. It’s similar to what I said in another comment [0], the people with aphantasia do a slower, more methodical approach. It then fails for me when there are too many steps required, which is not the case for simple rotations as in the paper.
