I'm probably a 2 on the OP's scale and I've come to believe that the only advantage it gives me is:

when i need to tell someone else where an object is in a space I can visualize. "If you're looking from the door its to your right, beside the coat rack"

otherwise it's probably easier to remember things for y'all since basically everything I think is in images or sounds. If i think of how to spell i word i am imagining an image of the word or imagining the word being written. PLUS I still have some face blindness so I can't picture people's eyes or most facial features
