    I’m a 1 on that chart and I struggle to understand how you can even follow what’s happening in a book without being able to imagine it.

    I mean, you have to be able to fill in the gaps don’t you? Books can’t describe every detail.

      Short answer is, you can’t. That’s why I don’t read books.

      Longer answer is that even if you read a book you can still understand what of happening in the book, you simply won’t get a visual image of what you read. Makes books pretty boring to read IMO.

      No, you don’t have to, especially if you’ve never known any different. It’s like the difference between a sketch and a photo. If the artist’s any good they can capture the essence of something with a few lines.
