However good at a given thing you are probably depends on whether you form custom internal imagery or audio that helps you be better at that thing. Maybe a way to think about it is that analytical thinking can do a lot, but it can't do what someone can do when they are visualizing with imagery, internally.

If anyone is into Yoga, or Yogachara, the way they put it is that internal formations (imagination or historic image/sound data/logging ala Parakalpita) represents one type of thinking (which everyone does not necessarily do) and analytical or "thinking mind" represents another type of thinking which everyone does, but may not be their primary mode.

From a few of my interviews about this topic:

- Old business acquaintance can visualize 2D seismic data in augmented reality 3D. He can literally see underground in his mind in front of him in his office.

- Musically inclined acquaintance (singer) can hear all the accompaniment music for performances in her mind.

- Guy who designed my kitchen can see my kitchen in his head.
