visual-spatial

Perceiving physical arrangement

Visual-spatial describes the ability to perceive, understand, and mentally manipulate objects in space.

It involves recognizing shapes, judging distances, and rotating images in the mind.

Someone with strong visual-spatial skills excels at reading maps, assembling furniture, or imagining how rearranged furniture would look: Visual-spatial reasoning helps architects envision buildings before they're built.
