I have been thinking about something for the past few days; I apologize if it sounds rather stupid/already known. When I was reading up on research about ASD, I found a lot about about visual-spatial thinking, and how this is a very popular trait in aspies. However, I do not do this.
I have trouble visualizing concepts, and creating pictures in my mind. My brain works using mostly sound. When I listen to music, I will create stories in my head for that song. I then replay and fine tune those stories for hours. I cannot immediately create mental pictures of characters I create, but I can replicate their voices in my mind, which creates the picture.
I never really categorized auditory thinking as a type of mindset, as I always thought one can only think in plain words, and pictures alone. But when someone pointed out my memory for reciting what people say, I started to examine auditory thinking as a legitimate thought process. I'm just curious if anyone else has this kind of mindset. I'm also wondering if this kind of thinking is prevalent among nts.
