Do you think visually? auditory? or kinesthetically?
Poor grammer, is that another hostile passive agressive dig.
I want to ask you a few questions, which psychological methods do you think are the best? Name them. (as if I really care, I just want to see if you know what your talking about because I do know alot of these methods)
Also I want to know where you came from, gamespot? ign, your obviously from somewhere else. Which site, I am trying to figure out where the influx of hostile new posters are from and why they are so angry. All new posters never read the rules, dismiss things without a good counter arguement, just dismiss things without good counter points and they are insultive. Good for you, dismissing something like this, even if we all think in modalities, it's a constant. Who cares what you think about it, if it's a constant and it brings results, then good. I guess I shoudn't bother, you can't talk with a hostile agressive, they already made up their mind.
Gardner's Intelligences are pretty fun for creating character types. But anyone who actually takes a psych class knows this shit here is emphatically unscientific. This is what happens when you let wiki and youtube mold your brain. Pseudo intellectuality, and you flip out when someone corrects you. Get help hitman.
Regardless of NLP's credibility, we do think visually, auditory and kinesthetically even if you don't put NLP labels at the end of it. We have to see, think or feel, I mean what else is there? Psychology thinks it's all auditory. If you study those how to improve memory programs, it's always a very visual program. Besides, it's a constant, I've studied cognitive behavioral therapy, basic psychology, NLP well a bit, EMDR, hypnosis. I'm starting to research more psychiatry and mental illness. I am interested at results and I don't have to spend an entire lifetime on just one of these fields which is limiting, I want to understand everything if it brings results. Now i'm interested in social psychology, not just invidual style stuff. It's not from youtube or wiki and i've always considered myself a visual thinking my entire life.
Okay someone prove it to me that we don't think in modalities? If you want to prove me wrong, go ahead. If I say elephant, some of you sees a picture, others turn it into a word and others thinks of the color and how they feel about elephants in general.
For dating, it's proven to be a sucess, ross jefferies tried to use it for dating and found it brought results. I am interested in the results, not who santions it. If I post a wiki link, i'm just saying, there is some base to what i'm saying. Well i'm interested in everything psychology whether it's taught in basic psychology or not. I couldn't careless, if it brings results. I'm not defending it like I believe NLP rules or anything, but I think it has brought results in the world of dating at least. I doubt this theory could be tested by a bunch of old psychologist who can't get a good looking women no matter what, so it's dismissed. If you had a girlfriend for example, finding out her modality, you can communicate more effectively.

I don't feel these categories apply to me. You should have an option to say none of the categories match you, perhaps? If allot of people choose this, it might hint, as I suspect, that these categories are too simple. These things are very hard.
Myself (I am a medical student, current topics are statistics, biology, human behaviour and more): I always *feel* mathematics and biology as motions and changes, but these feelings I express visually in my notes, especaily when I communicate it with others. I think the combination of the visual and feelings aid my understanding. I have a hard time learning things that cannot be described like this. I also dress very casually, and I am not very good at auditory learning in general, yet my thought are sometimes very auditory, and working through things I find I do internal monologue allot, sometimes it also escapes through my mouth ;) (it seems to me like internal monolgue actually adds new information, like putting words to things connects information in new ways). Oh, and I dont think very fast.
All three? None of those three are all that dominant in my psyche that I can tell. Sometimes I think fast, other times I take my time when gathering thoughts, and sometimes sounds are very crucial to my ideas. It all depends on what I'm thinking about.
Still i'm finding the results interesting, alot of ppl who thinks visually. It seems like education system is all build on auditory. Arguing with alot of ppl, they don't listen to evidence either and they are often irrational. I think ppl can be moved visually or emotionally more than logically and that's what i've learned from the poll results so far. This thread was a social experiment and that's what i've learned from it. I'm also suprised how the other two options outweight kinesthetic and I met alot of ppl like that in RL, they do talk a bit slower, feelings rules their thought process. Ppl can pretend they don't think like this, however the polls shows, alot of ppl thinks like this. Keep voting and pick the one that is the strongest.
I think I have "modes" sometimes I try to say everything I'm thinking really fast, which is usually triggered by philosophy. Some times I'm auditory and mumble what I'm thinking. Italy triggered by math or writing. Some times I say meaningful stuff that's full of emotion. Usually triggered by sombody requiring wisdom that I for some reason can provide.
I use all three to remember or learn or work on anything. I have dyslexia and the theory of education when I was diagnosed was you just make EVERYTHING a visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning experience. That was the theory in the 1970s. for education
So, over the years I just got in the habit when I read my own writing to read everything out loud mainge it a cognitive audio and visual experience. When I learned something that might be more kinesthetic, I talk myself through it like and dance instructor. It has never hurt me to add as much sensory-input to what I'm doing. You might think that might distract other people, but I often whisper or subvocalize if I can't just talk. However, at work I do tend to have a constant stream of mumblingwhen I do anything that needs a lot of brain power.
I work in a library, so you might think me mumbling would distract other people! However, I'm the damn department head - if I want to mumble - I will damn-well mumble! My staff is used to me subvocalizing or mumbling when I'm working on a tricky problem. They have learned to never interrupt me when I'm mumbling because it means I am in my "dissociative fuge" where I do my best work.
Depends on what I'm thinking about. If it's politics or social dynamics or economics etc I will think in terms of machinery and how it interlocks with other mechanisms and gearboxes and conversions etc. etc. This lets me create a fairly easy to understand engine out of pretty much any complex topic(within my capacity to understand). A mechanism that I can manipulate to see what comes out the other end. I've always worked like this, and it's made it somewhat hard to explain things to others because I have to convert stuff into words.. However, I am pretty good at predicting what's going to happen because I've tweaked and improved these mechanisms my entire life. Human impulses are pretty simple once broken down into parts and reassembled as a machine. Also makes humans more boring when they become laughably predictable.
Most of the time my brain just churns out nonsense at random, words, imagery, ideas, music. Absolute shitstorm up there. I'm bipolar, probably the source of most of the chaos.
