Your thoughts - in words or pictures?

Do you think in words or in pictures? I usually think through words, as if I'm talking to myself. I don't think I have a very good photographic memory, so pictures aren't always easy for me to remember. Of course, there are still visual images in my brain, although that comes in specific circumstances - like, recollecting a movie, a place, etc. But everyday normal thoughts - e.g. things to do, homework - I think in words. How about you?

When I talk to myself, it's in words. But when I'm recollecting something, a movie, or an event, it's in pictures. I guess that's why I have difficulty relaying a story because it's just pictures in my head.

I think in pictures, too. In fact, I don't think I've ever thought in words. :o My brain is just wired to think that way, lol.

Definitely think in pictures. Especially if I plan to execute a plan in my head, I tend to have a vision of how it will all pass.
