Do you think in WORDS or IMAGES or BOTH or NEITHER?

On this board we talk about our different beliefs and values, but that's not our only difference. We may also think differently. Some people think mainly in words, some in images, some use both and some use neither.

I think mainly in words, but it depends what I'm thinking about.

When I think about posting something on this board, I think mainly in words. I also think in analogies and comparisons. When I think about a moral issue, I try to compare it to other similar moral issues.

I drive for work, so when driving I visualize a map instead of thinking in street names.

My dreams are like silent movies with no words.

I do not think in words on mountain bike rides. I visualize a path ahead of me going around and over the rocks and bumps.

I can visualize objects, but I have trouble holding the image constant, so it's more like a movie.

Both
