Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")

Some of you are specialists at such things and I have a question you might be able to help me with.

The development of understanding of perspective in graphic representation (drawings, paintings and other pictures) is relatively recent and there have been several versions of representation of "depth" within a picture, at different times and in different cultures. There are other aspects of graphic representation (such as semiotics) that have led me to understand "picture smart" as "graphic smart", whereas other (perhaps 'most', for me) aspects of spatial intelligence involve interpretation of extrapersonal landscape (whether geographic in the old sense or even in the "situational awareness" sense). This would add an extra type of intelligence to the above lists.

Have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Cheers, Rowan
