Doc Scranton (npub13uw…shsz) :frogc00l: :amespin: :niggy_dab: yeet :pogfish: :ina_hammer: :awoodance: (npub1tdf…p9pl) "Shape rotation" and people who are "shape rotators" is a thing, spend some quality time in the iSteve Sailer blog on unz.com for a lot more. It has some correlations with other subsets of IQ, but one can be very strong in it and not quite so strong in others.
For a bit more, there's a reason organic chemistry is a (theoretical now due to DIE) weed out course for pre-meds. It both exercises the 3D visualization you'll need (even if just for your residency if you're going to become a psychiatrist or whatever) and the sort of "connected" memory you'll need to practice medicine.
Haven't come up with a good word or phrase for the latter, but it's like the opposite of memorizing a string of random stuff. In the body, most everything has many sorts of connections to other things, so there's a builtin framework that helps some people's minds to memorize that, or organic chemist stuff.
And there's testing of shape rotation in the MCAT.
