Overimaginative?
23.06.2014 by Fielder

So I took the test and I got high on everything except the imagination portion, which I got no sign of alexithymic traits on. I mean, it makes sense. As a child I was an aspiring fiction author, and nowadays can constantly be found laying around, letting my mind run around and doing whatever it sees fit. Daydreaming random things is my favorite activity, and I imagine a lot of fictional scenarios.
I just don't understand why my imagination is so out of whack when it seems it should be extremely logical. I'm still logical in debates and the like, and I can pull some order out of my thoughts if I try, but it still doesn't make sense to me, since everything else I've seen so far I can relate with really well.

you got lucky

we do have imagination, but most of us just funnel it into working out responses to situations ("if this happened to me, what would I do"). hence, it becomes a logic problem: what "emotional" response benefits me the most? I miss my imagination from when it was still childish. If I could feel, then I would be jealous of you.
