"Everybody Votes" on the Wii had this question a couple weeks ago, and the spread of answers surprised me. I know that I'm a bit odd, but I didn't realize how odd: Firstly, I think almost entirely in words. Not visualizations of words, but just in hearing my own thoughts expressed as words. Visualizations rarely accompany my thoughts. I guess it is kind of like my brain is a radio, rather than a cinema, or a kinetiscope for those with visualizations but few or no words in their thoughts. Maybe this is why I often don't remember my dreams?

I suppose I expected "Words" to be the majority vote, or at least for them to be equal, but "Pictures" won out by 2-to-1. So tell me, how do you think?

I can do both, but I chose pictures because I can force myself to have minor, controlled hallucinations (AKA controlled, vivid daydreams).
EDIT: I guess, after reviewing later answers, that I would fall under videos.

Depends. Often, I'll think in words, but if I'm trying to come up with a story idea, or if I'm trying to just daze off, I'll think in images.

When thinking through problems, I think purely with the sound of my own voice as direction if needed. However, the majority of it comes without "talking" to myself, y'know? It's just... I have a problem, then my brain thinks up what to do with no discernable reason why it came to that solution.

But, when I am DOING something visual, like making some kind of graphic, or project in Minecraft, I always see the whole thing in my head how I want it to be, but it never turns out that way. I can never get anything I think up visually to come out the same way. :-/

So, ultimately I guess it's all just based on the situation.

I've got a very strong verbal memory. I can remember most conversations I have with pinpoint accuracy. So I guess I think in words most of the time.

Oh my, we are now at a draw.
I think more in pictures, and the smallest thought can become an epic journey
but yeah, I have some times I think in words to, math is a little harder to make into a epic journey

Interesting question. Never really thought of it before. Mainly words I suppose, but pictures still make an appearance.

pictures? i think in moving video. much more efficient.

Yeah, video explains it much more appropriate

Would it surprise anyone that I voted pictures?

Though I do enjoy a good internal rant when I'm in the mood, those are in words. It's hard to argue in pictures.

i sort of think in "moving" pictures, when i am really thinking its extremely obvious if you see me, i will literally turn off to the outside world and be thinking of whatever that leads me to think of something else and i go off on one.
Anyone who knows me in real life can confirm my surprisingly bad spacial awareness when in deep thought, you have to basically hit me to get my attention...
