I agree. Anecdotally, among people I know, I’ve found aphantasia to be more common among those who are very mathematically skilled.
(Maybe you could have some hypothesis that aphantasia tracks something slightly different than other variance in visual reasoning. But regardless, it sure seems similar enough that it’s a bad idea to emphasize the importance of “shape rotating”. Because that will turn off some excellent fits.)
