I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I’m a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that “minds eye” is not a metaphor for most people.
So, I worked in a job shop, I would draw things up in CAD and leave everything the default grey texture. then the customer would say “I don’t want it to be grey. I want it [wood, gold, magenta plaid, whatever]” and I would say “Yeah I’m going to make it out of [whatever], I’m just confirming the physical design.” and they would reply “I can’t see it.”
People are not all one? Do yo really imagine grey potatoes when someone says apple.
