Spatial IQ allows you to imagine, manipulate, and navigate objects in your mind. Individuals with a high spatial IQ are able to create and navigate detailed mental images of objects or landscapes. For instance, these individuals may be able to build mental maps of cities or video games. People with a high spatial IQ often excel at navigating cities, designing and constructing objects or buildings, and graphic design.
