SkillsArchetypeDo You Think in Pictures or Words? — The Thinking Modes Test

The Labelled Diagram

Structure and words, with the screen switched off.

You think in schemas and in sentences, and barely in pictures at all. Systems, arguments, routes and relationships are all available to be moved and examined, and everything you move gets named as you go — the reasoning is structural and it is verbal, which is a combination that explains things unusually well.

This is also the profile that most directly disproves the idea that a dim mind's eye means a poor imagination. Engineers, programmers, mathematicians and chess players report it constantly: no visual scene, complete command of the structure inside it. If you came to this test wondering whether not seeing pictures was a deficit, this result is the answer — you are not missing a channel, you are running on the two that carry the reasoning.
