As I was reading Temple Grandin's biography, she wrote an interesting page about the 3 different types of intellectual thinkers.

 

So I'm here to ask: Which one are you?

 

1. Visual Thinkers: A visual thinker is the type of person who thinks in pictures. To explain this even further, they see and think in photographically specific images and they usually do well in subjects such as geometry and trigonometry, with the exception of algebra. Many Visual Thinkers will often be good at drawing, building, and other arts and have a huge interest in maps, flags, and photographs.

 

2. Math and Music Thinkers: These type of people excel often at math, chest, and computer programming. They see the patterns and relationship between patterns and numbers instead of images like that of a Visual Thinker. Math/Music Thinkers often have careers in science, cooking, and of course music.

 

3. Verbal Logic Thinkers: These type of individuals think in word details. They often love subjects such as History, foreign languages, weather statics, and stock marketing. As Verbal Thinkers grew up, they often have vast knowledge at keeping scores and are not the very best artists when it comes to drawing. Many of these individuals have successful careers in journalism, library work, language translation, or financial analysis.

I'm definitely a visual thinker. The other two just don't fit.

I would say I'm a visual thinker, maybe a little bit of a math and music, but mostly visual. I can't learn through verbal instruction, my mind tends to wander and I will retain none of it. Which is why in school I always preferred work sheets that asked me to search for the answers in the book, instead of getting my answers from lectures. I couldn't focus when the instructor would just stand up there and speak for long periods of time. Plus, I tend to remember images and art as opposed to words. Which is why I enjoy manga, anime, and movies, as opposed to novels.

Tbh, I think I'm a bit of all of them.

When I describe things to other people I can do so in great verbal detail, and whenever I'm writing codes for my coursework I'd say it out and write it down. I'm can see the relationships between a number of things and was great at math for the time I did it (I didn't choose it for A-level), and I love photography, have a hobby of drawing anime/digital art and create mind maps. I also excel in science, ICT and have been awarded highest in my year, and in my subjects since I started Secondary school (7 years).

I can't decide is it possible to be a little bit of all like balanced.

Visual thinker. I tend to remeber certain images in my head, but I wouldn't I'm quite "good", it's kinda... faint memory.

One example is that I remember certain subjects when i remember where it's written in my book. But, like I said, mine's weaker. I think there are certain degrees, like, I have a friend that can remember anything he read, and another that remebers just like me, but the way he explains just shows he has a way cleaner image in his head

It's really weird

This could be me...except bold. I always did the best in algebra compared to geometry and trig. I SUCKED at geo&trig..... σ_σ

I'm 90% sure that I'm a visual thinker. ^^

I love to draw, even though I'm not the best artist.

 

I love photography, and you will always find me with a camera.

Verbal logical but i have traits of some of the other two tbh

I'm a mix of the three.

Verbal Logical

I'm a Visually musical verbal thinker.

I'm definitely a Math and Music Thinker. I was always pretty good at math and I could always tell in videogame music covers on Youtube when someone messes up. Also, I work at the cafeteria at my college.

All of the above in so many ways.

I'm terrible with math and music

and I don't feel like I'm too much of a verbal thinker

but it's the one I'm actually sort of like

I'm not really any of them, honestly. I guess I'm more of a mix between the 1st and 3rd ones.

Verbal Logic I think fits me best, but visual wasn't too far off. Certainly not a music thinker.

I'm very visual.

I can visualize both verbally and visual.

That's actually really awesome because Temple Grandin has autism and autistics and Aspies (such as myself) are reputed to only think in pictures! And that's exactly what I do! I only think in pictures, I don't think the same way neurotypicals do.

 

Although, I'm a mix of visual and verbal. I'm actually very spatial and I'm very into geography and topography. But I'm also a verbal thinker as well. Everything but stock marketing and financial analysis applies to me. 83

 

Oh, Asperger's Syndrome. It gave me a wonderful mind and really nice qualities.

Well, my mind thinks in patterns and connections, but not numbers. My memory has an odd way of working with that. Sometimes I think like an artist would, but most of the time, I can't draw anything more than a copy of something else. I can think of how I want it to look, but I can never get it to actually work. And I know I can work with languages pretty well, too.

Math/Music and Verbal logic for me.

That's really awesome Genn! I've been reading her book lately and I'm finding out so much about her, she is an incredible woman! So incredible I even watched the movie they made about her that stared Claire Danes

I feel like I'm a math and music thinker that has turned themselves into a visual thinker. I pick up on math and patterns really easily and I'm great at memorizing stuff (I wonder if Axel hypnotized me back when I was in 5th grade...). But I also visualize a lot of things and draw a lot.

Its the right brain left brain thing all over again. I'm really good at math and being logical and stuff but I'm really artsy.... I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF BRAIN I HAVE

I'm a visual thinker. Even though my major is computer science.

I'm a Verbal Logical Thinker. I have fondness of History and I can keep up with my reading, and yes, I only think in words.
