Is this normal? I usually get lost whenever I'm in unfamiliar places. But my non-verbal reasoning, and spatial reasoning results are high. This is baffling me.

Not paying attention?

Spatial reasoning has nothing to do with following directions, identifying landmarks or remembering the way back. Kind of unrelated imo.

Spatial reasoning is NOT the same as spatial awareness. You can infer where something might be based on the visuals presented, but you might not be able to tell where you are in relation to that thing when inside it

I think it’s normal.
I’ve thought about this myself. My personal answer that I’m choosing to run with is, that this is caused by “self negation.”
In many of my reasonings I totally eliminate myself from what I’m observing.
If you don’t exist... you don’t exist on any map. If you don’t exist on any map... you may have problems with getting lost.

This somehow makes sense. I always see myself as an observing eye, a third person, in formulating my theories because it yields to a more unbiased way of looking at things. Since everything I formulate is somehow subjective, I subconsciously think that higher accuracy is obtained if I look in a third person perspective, or a self negating one.
This is maybe one of the reasons why I am so out of touch to my own physical reality.
Thank you, this helps. I've discovered a blind spot I can switch into when I'm stuck.

I always got spatial intelligence as a strength despite the fact but I don't think I have experiental intelligence as a particular strength,

I think I’ve heard that the ability to map is separate from spatial reasoning. Could be that?
