# Visual Thinking

People use two types of thinking, verbal and visual. I'm a visual
thinker. Wikipedia says the general population is 30% strongly vis
ual, 45% both, 25% strongly verbal. So I assume 3/4 of the readers
will understand my experiences.

As a strongly visual thinker, I don't THINK. If I read a word, I c
an see a diagram, sometimes a vivid image. Then I just walk around
the diagrams. That is my thinking process. When I write or speak,
all I have to do is describing the diagrams, and the walking path.
Diagrams usually correspond to propositions. A walking path corres
ponds to a logical chain. Since those are subjective, sometimes I
have to rearrange them to make others understand. This is not easy
. It takes time.

When I see something, I can't think of it in real time. I can walk
around an image only when the image is similar to a diagram. Some
realistic images are similar to diagrams, while others are not. Th
ose images are like images with tags. My real time image from my e
yes is not. To THINK (walk around), I should make them into diagra
m-type.

When I'm thinking, I'm looking at images. To see the image from my
eyes clearly, I have to stop thinking. Then my mind goes empty. Th
ere are only extremes. [Eyes Full - Mind Empty] or [Eyes Empty - M
ind Full].

Although I'm a visual thinker, I don't prefer an image over a text
much. I think a text visually too. An image is not much more visua
l for me.
