How to see people in a PAO system

[meepster (Meepster the Unstupid)]

A lot of my PAO people are fictional characters or cartoon characters. I’m not yet done with my PAO system, but that’s the way it’s shaping up to be. So, 22 is Donald Duck.

Also, some of my PAO people are identified by roles rather than names - i.e. a dentist, for example. I just “see” a generic dentist when I get to that one.

I have aphantasia so I wouldn’t be able to actually “see” 100 different people in my head, but with my collection of PAO characters, I don’t even really need to visualize them. I just need to think of the archetype.

@bjoern.gumboldt

ask yourself “why are you using PAO” in the first place… is it only so you can get 6 digits into one location? If you are better at “seeing” simple objects, why not just use an OO major system and place four digits into one location

That’s what I currently do.
I am trying pao because I am not getting sub 20 sec in cards by oo system.

I don’t find people very memorable, so many of my images are objects. They tend to be things like:

Same here, I don’t find people memorable either.

@QiJitsu

Almost all my people are fictional characters and have very different overall looks.

same here. (like I already said, I have trouble in visualising persons, that’s why I use lots of fictional characters than real life person.)
