    I have hyperphantasia, which means that I’m able to visualize things in my mind in a way that it looks exactly the same as it would in real life. If I see a puzzle that requires spatial reasoning, I can rotate it and manipulate it in 3D space in my mind.

      I use this for CAD! It’s actually kind of frustrating because I often find my brain uses techniques that I can’t replicate using the controls on cad software.

      I have that too but I use it daily.

      I use it as a software developer and visualize code like it’s a factory.

      it allows me to debug problems effectively and generally gets me an answer before anyone else can.

      I’ve also used it to do any kind of diagnostic, be it mechanical or medical.

      it’s an OP skill tbh.
