Do you know your IQ? Have you been diagnosed with any condition listed in the DSM?
Are there any cognitive tasks that you find yourself notably worse than average (especially compared to those with similar IQs)? What about tasks that you find yourself to be notably better than average?
Can you got into detail about this:
I’ve known some people in that past with (much weaker) versions of this sort of visualization you describe. I tried to construct some games/experiments in which they decisively beat me/performed better than me by using these powers but I didn’t manage to build any.
What games/experiments?
Would you say you have a good sense of humor? Can you reliably read someone’s emotions from non-verbal cues? Do you have empathy for others that are suffering? Does music evoke emotions in you? Ever been in love?
Let’s say you are in a situation which could lead to either excitement or anxiety. When you learn that you are anxious and not excited does that information just come to you verbally? Do you read physical signs of your body? For most people the way we know whether we are excited or anxious is that these emotions feel different- their qualia are different (or at least that is how we report learning about our emotional state… I’m not entirely sure that story is right).

Is this a good zombie test? I have to consciously search my body for hints to tell those apart.

No idea, never interviewed a zombie before. I’m not especially confident I have yet. It certainly might be overly-sensitive.
OK I think it is an OK test but you might get false positives from that alone.
