I'm one with a vivid imagination, which, as Briana mentioned, is both a blessing and a curse.
My mother, who, before becoming blind in old age, was a painter, is so visual that when she reads a book, she visualizes every detail, just as the author has written it. She does this quickly, without effort. I find this tedious and am more likely to visualize my own version of things. My mother is a picky and exacting person; me - not so much. Now that she cannot see, I describe things to her when we talk, and I have become much more skilled at creating a picture with words.
I see numbers in order on a line that curves through space. Whenever I think of a number, I automatically see the number on the line. In general, there is a curve at multiples of ten. At 100, the line ends. The same line is used for higher numbers.
I also see time visually, in a large disk of days that looks like a giant game board. And when I meet someone, I always want to know where they live, because it helps me remember their name, etc. I think my brain organizes things spacially.
Huh. Autocorrect wants that word to be 'specially.'
