Can you give a reasonable, logical, cognitive definition of just what is 'visual intelligence'
If it is an 'ingredient', doesn't that mean that is a physical inanimate object.
Where does one put it?
On the cue? On the Bridge Hand? On the Stroking Hand? On top of one's head like a hat. Or in one's food or drink one hour before playing?
Sorry for the sarcasm but it's what you so often do.
Would the coined phrase of 'visual intelligence' perhaps mean one's acquired subjective perception & 'knowledge' of all of the shots in pool?
I guess you can not legitimatly answer that.
I guess the ONLY one that can answer that is the individual that coined the phrase which is Howard Gardner, a psychologist.

Howard Gardner's
Theory of Multiple Intelligences
In the past century, numerous
theories about intelligence have emerged. One of the more famous theories was created by developmental psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983. Gardner proposed that intelligence is not made up of one factor, but rather eight. They are:
Musical intelligence: includes your awareness of musical sounds, tones, and rhythms
Naturalistic intelligence: includes your awareness of trees, mountains, flowers, and other elements found in nature
Interpersonal intelligence: includes your ability to relate to those around you, understand their motivations, their goals, and their feelings
Intrapersonal intelligence: includes your ability to understand yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, and your motivation
Logical/mathematical intelligence: includes your ability to reason, think critically and analytically, and your understanding of complex mathematical concepts
Linguistic intelligence: includes your ability to appreciate language and use it effectively to accomplish goals
Bodily/kinesthetic intelligence: includes your athletic ability and being aware of your body
Visual-spatial intelligence: includes your ability to visualize, remember images and details, and an awareness of your surroundings
Each intelligence is independent of the others. This means that having a high level of one intelligence will not guarantee that you are high in the other intelligences. For example, a Spanish professor may have a strong appreciation for language (linguistic intelligence), but may have a hard time relating to his students (interpersonal intelligence).
Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Leonardo Da Vinci and I. M. Pei are famous people with high visual-spatial, or visual, intelligence. In other words, they possess the ability to visualize the world accurately, modify their surroundings based upon their perceptions, and recreate the aspects of their visual experiences. People with high visual-spatial intelligence are good at remembering images, faces, and fine details. They are able to visualize objects from different angles.
People with high visual-spacial intelligence also have good spacial judgement & reasoning. that is they are able to accurately judge the distance between themselves & an object, how far the object is to the right, etc.
They are skilled at using their ability to visualize & their spacial judgement to complete tasks & projects that include design, judgement & creativity. For this reason they make good painters, artists, architects, engineers, & designer.
Visual-spacial intelligence as also has also been found in individuals that are blind or visually impaired. For example, a blind individual who uses touch & spacial reasoning to calculate the size, shape, width, & length of an object which results in an accurate visual picture of the object is showing visual-spacial intelligence.
It seems that perhaps Stan is somewhat mis-applying this phrase as well & using it in an improper inference.
It is more of one's ability or aptitude in certain areas rather than any real 'intelligence'.
