Number 5 for me. All my life I thought all people were like that. This cartoon is about me.
Including the voice in my head, I don't have one.
Smell, music, feelings. Nope. Aphantasia for me, to the max. Sometimes it drives my wife crazy (oh, and it drives me crazy too).

Question out of interest:
How do you process logical thoughts like math for example?

By thinking. I don't need images to calculate the square root of 780.

I am not sure how people with a mind's eye would do it, do they see the number 780 and a square root sign and a calculator that actually does the calculating work for them?

@WGAvanDijk @Chrishallbeck would be cool but no.

I meant more as in carrying numbers over or when building more complex equations where it helps me too see the numbers i would need to write down.

I just have to remember the numbers as good as I can while doing the computations. Because I don't "see" the numbers in my head.
