Yeah, I think we mostly all our. I am not that surprised. :)

Interesting sidenote, I found at that thinking in math is not unique. It is very left brain style of thinking, other than 'talking' in your head. I kind of want to figure out how to think in math now! It can't hurt to add a new thinking style to the repertoire of ones I already know how to use! :D
 
The 'words' one. My thought process sounds to me like an intensely detailed autobiography: "I then chose to order the falafel wrap even though I like shawarma more, because I felt uncomfortable ordering meat at a good-bye dinner for a vegetarian," is one of the most absurdly analytical ones, but there's plenty more.
 
my mind is really strange and chaotic. i sometimes imagine crazy stuff that doesnt have any sense. strange colours and shapes. im crazy xD
 
When I'm actively thinking about something, it's usually in words. Sometimes thinking pictorially is easier for me, though. Also, it can be just in symbols, or basically wordless meanings/representations. When I define that thought, or flesh it out, it's in words.
 
I think in long thought out constructed arguments. I usually refer to visuals I creat in my head, but there is a narrative and dialog I create which becomes the story in my head. It usually ends in a state of confused chaos which becomes a jumbled bunch of meaningless words that lead nowhere.
 
words seem to be very important in the way we think.

anyone got any thoughts on why that is and why feeling doesn't seem to come up more?
 
I do a combination but I selected piktures cause it's my dominant form.
 
Words, memories, and music mostly.

Strange to say that I think in music, but it's sort of true! Always electronic, unreal, repetitive, yet constantly changing. One minute the song of my life will be this, the next minute it will have gone on a crazy tangent and the tempo is so different. It's beautiful, and I love this sort of thinking the absolute most. Words and memories often play with each other, sometimes combining with the music. When I get really stoned with my friends sometimes my words feel really important...I just keep having these simple revelations that seem so profound, but really I just ramble. Often lose track of my surroundings and my friends look at me crazy like "wow where did that come from?" Haha.

This track is my current mood. :)
 
Since I apparently change moods/personalities every day (I don't know how I'll be tomorrow'esque) I interchange them all, or do them all at the same time, or whatever. It's like my brain is saying "shut up, I've got this, you idiot"

Same here. I take in everything simultaneously, and then my brain works out what it needs to using the best possible technique.
