Well my mom uses measuring spoons.
I basically read the ingredients list on a recipe, then skim the general procedure, then toss the recipe and do what I want.
I wouldn't say we are exactly twins lol. I don't measure when I cook Korean food since my parents don't and never did. They learned from watching others cook and those people never measured as well. We don't have a recipe book or use recipes so it's a bummer for me when I have to cook Korean food.
However, when it comes to baking or cooking American or whatever else then I use measurement equipment if it's available. BUT in my household we don't have measurement equipment since my parents have no need for it.
