I’m like that. Weirdly, I can plan out things in my head, like how a piece of furniture should be designed and made, but it’s not a visual process. I just seem to know how it should be. I have virtually no visual component to my imagination, but I can basically listen to entire songs in my mind. It’s only recently that I realised that there are people out there who have no internal monologue! Like their brain is just quiet, and they can get on with stuff without it getting in their way! That’s weirder to me than the presence/absence of visuals etc
The no inner monologue thing threw me for a loop too. No wonder they all manage to get shit done. I've always had at least two layers of narration plus music.
I don't have aphantasia, but I can't imagine faces very well. I am extremely face blind, though.
This describes me very well. I see nothing but black with shades of gray but can understand/describe how objects look or fit together without issue. My inner dialogue also seems to never stop.
I have an internal monologue of instrumental music (almost always jazz or classical music). I don't think in words, except when planning speech or writing.

I have no inner monologue or minds eye. Trust me, I do not get shit done
