that’s crazy…never thought there were ppl like that…is there a correlation with low(er) intelligence? not tryna be funny…sincerely asking…doing some googling now
Nope. Met math professors in college with it.



Its just neurodiversity. Some people just think differently. I'm reminded of folks who literally don't have imagination (no internal pictures in their head) but are still ordinary.

Rather than thinking of it as lower intelligence or damaged people, it might be helpful to think of them the way we think of left handed people or folks who physically cannot whistle or folks can't curl their tounges, etc . Just diversity.

I wasn’t thinking of/insisting on them as anything that’s why I asked cuz it was just hard for me to imagine someone not having any internal thoughts/dialogue…but your explanation helped with that…I actually think it would be peaceful as hell not to have that “voice” in your head that overthinks shyt

I don't know if there's a word for it, but I went to college with someone who is sort of the opposite of this. She has virtually no intuition at all. Instead, she has to overtly think out every conscious decision she makes. It has all sorts of crazy implications.


* Takes her half-an-hour to order food because she has to rationalize why she will or won't get every individual menu item

* She can only drive to places if she has the explicit directions memorized, no matter how many times she's gone that way before. She can't just "remember" where to turn, she has to consciously know the exact place for every turn and gets lost super easy if she misses a turn.

* She doesn't get 98% of jokes

* If you show her an optical illusion in a book, she never sees the illusion. When you give her one of those tricky word play questions that is supposed to trip people up, she never falls for it. Cause she always thinks everything out, her mind doesn't take the shortcuts everyone else's mind takes.


Of course, she's a mechanical engineer. :yeshrug:

How? How do they decipher lyrics when listening to music? How do they read? :mindblown:
