I visualize things pretty weakly, pretty low on the ability-to-visualize scale. I don't really think it has caused me many problems, except that I tend to get lost very easily. Luckily, we have near ubiquitous GPS now and Google Maps. On the other hand, I have good mental auditory capabilities. I can, say, play "air on the g string" in my head right now with near perfect fidelity, or just imagine new music in real time as if I were simply hearing it. Some people apparently can't do that, but can do the visual equivalent. So, eh, you've got what you've got.

For me, I wish there were a way to easily get the music I imagine outside of my head. The best I've been able to do is whistle it, sing it, perhaps each "track" and record it; I've played around with 4-track recording too. Tried trackers, but always get lost in the nuances, or trying to create a particular sound or whatnot... But it's the same way with my visual side; I can think of things, but anything beyond technical drawing I am pretty weak at doing (and the only reason I have some success with technical drawing is that I took a few years in grade school doing it as an elective).
