I feel my memory/imagination is abstract, spatial, relational and factional. With that prompt I "see"/experience looking at the dark with a torch. I go over all the details one by one, but I don't see them it's just abstract concepts, like colour, shape and location. I don't "see" a whole picture when zooming out. It's just the aggregate concept. This might also be related to my dyslexia, why I'm good at abstract stuff like maths/programming and why I'm very good at direction and path finding. I have a good memory (but more of an indexing problem as I grow older ;) I consider myself quite creative (I love DIY stuff and creating things), but especially at improving, tweaking. Less so at starting from scratch. I have an eye for details. That's why I'm great at pairing on tasks. I have never experienced these things as a disability, but more so as talents.
