# Visual Thinking

People use two types of thinking, verbal and visual. I'm a visual
thinker. Wikipedia says the general population is 30% strongly
visual, 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
can 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
corresponds 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.
Those images are like images with tags. My real time image from my
eyes is not. To THINK (walk around), I should make them into
diagram-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.
There are only extremes. [Eyes Full - Mind Empty] or [Eyes Empty -
Mind 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 visual
for me.
