How do you think?
Do you think in pictures? Can you play a movie in your head?Do you recall voices from songs, movies, etc? When you think, do you think quietly, or does your inner self talk? How do you think?

My brain is never quiet. When I'm by myself or not engaging with someone else, my thought process tends to be more of an internal dialogue. When I'm talking with other people, though, it's less of a dialogue and more of an editor to keep me from saying things that I shouldn't. :) My memory works in pictures, words, sounds, smells...pretty much with whatever the format of the exposure is how I remember things. I can see pictures and movies and hear songs and conversations in my mind. If I can't remember the specific words I've read, I can usually see the page I read them on in my mind. I also remember emotion.

I don't think in pictures normally. However, if I see something, like a movie, I can re-play that in my head most of the time. I can reacall voices and hear them clearly. As for when I think, it can go either way. If I dream a really cool dream and it ends, I can continue it the next night when I fall asleep. Unfortunately, this can happen with nightmares as well.

I think in both pictures and in words.
Whatever is appropriate for whatever train of thought i happen to be on.
for example - thinking in pictures when i will have to be presenting the answer in words would only mean i would have to take the trouble to do a 'conversion job' so i would be thinking in the meduim that i would be presenting in. Similarly when i am working on an art project there would be little point in me thinking in words if i am trying to work out the best technique to put my idea into practice.

I think quietly and my inner self talk.

All of the above, really. Sometimes I'm loud and have to quiet myself, but generally my innerality doesn't get too out of hand with the keggers.

Well sometimes the others get into an arguement but other wise my thought are my own.

You such a pain.
