I can't "picture" things in my mind, but I get pretty strong "feelings" about relative volumes, lengths, shapes, etc. As a result I can eyeball measurements pretty accurately.
When it comes to physically organizing things in space, I literally have to guess and test, and just rearrange things until they work... But, I do still get that "feeling" about how it might work.
It's the same with empathy. If I see someone about to injur themselves, I don't "see" it, but it definitely get a flash of feeling and I'll wince and feel the thing.
Is that aphantasia? I didn't even know this was a thing, but... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I can't see things in my head, but i love Tetris and I'm excellent at fitting a lot of suitcases in the trunk of a car.
