Yeah, this is for me too. I narrate all my thoughts and talk to other-me because it makes things a lot clearer and I remember my thoughts a lot better. But I do mostly think in pictures. But I'm an artist/designer so a lot of the things I think about HAVE to be in pictures. I don't know how it would even work, otherwise. If you only think verbally, can you even be an artist?

I do both. I probably more than 80% think in word, an the rest is pictures. remembering things and stuff. but otherwise I think i words. Like right now, while I'm typing the words are being read 'aloud' in my head. But for instance say, right now I thought of the number 9, ad I both hard and saw the umber nine It was red.

This is a tough one for me to answer. Let me explain:
I suppose one would say that I think verbally. But I would also classify it as thinking visually because, while I do think in words, it is as if those words are printed on a screen behind my eyes. What I mean is that I can visually see the words in my mind, but I cannot see pictures. For instance, say I were asked to picture my favorite place. I would see the printed screen of words that describe the place (in great detail) but I would be unable to hold a picture of that place in my mind.
The one thing that I never have understood about the way I think is this: If I can see the words in my mind, all laid out nicely and orderly, why can I not get the words to come out that way when I try to speak to a person? The words are right there, but it is as if they are organized in a way that only I understand. That is the most frustrating part of this, I suppose.

Verbal.
I can perceive a stream of words running through my head, kind of like I'm reading to myself. I can sit back and analyze everything that runs through my head.
This is why I love (and sometimes HATE) movie adaptations of epic fantasy or sci-fi books. I like finally seeing a world I only know through words. Lord of the Rings was the ultimate movie for a verbal type. Harry Potter wasn't bad either. Twilight was a huge disappointment though. It depends on how true the adaptation is to the source material. |
