First try:

Visual memory = 2778. 6th percentile. I'm not surprised, I guess the aphantasia doesn't help.
Verbal memory = 30. 55th percentile.
Reaction time, 287.0. 44th percentile. I would have liked to have done better.
Number memory = 6. 12th percentile. Again, I'm not surprised as I can't remember dates, phone numbers etc.


Another one with aphantasia here. I also can't imagine smells,sounds,taste and touch.

Is that even possible! Can others actually imagine smells, sounds, taste and touch?

Yup. No problem here.

Whilst it is difficult for me to imagine certain senses, my biggest problem, in terms of learning, is auditory recall.

Am I alone in my inability to recall verbal information? It's rather embarrassing that I never remember a damn thing anyone else says to me.

I assume that those who are not "book smart" learn well with their ears. Unfortunately, this simply is not the case for me.
