I cannot. I am merely calling out that fact that "I'm a visual thinker" is almost always used as a justification for not being able to keep up. Sort of like saying "My other car is a Porsche."

Is it not possible that different people will have an easier or harder time understanding different kinds of concepts? Maybe IQ favors a particular type of "non-visual" thinking. Or maybe IQ is just another pile of bullshit from the field of physchology.
