This is very interesting. I wonder if this is because of our childhood and how we grew up?
I've asked myself too if I ever had a mind's eye, but can't remember if I ever did. I think the consensus is that it's just the way you are born... but who knows, academic study of the field is rather nascent and it's quite an abstract concept until someone makes you aware of some of these fundamental differences between people.

I have always been able to make a mental image. Not that it is very special. You are missing out a bit on the inner dialogue, though. I have some interesting conversations with myself haha
