Maybe you could kick this thread off and by telling us how your mind works? |

Either generally or in specific instances, I'm fascinated by the operation of mind. |
|
If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

Some are born to sweet deleight
Some are born to endless night
For instance, I was watching someone philosophize on youtube last night and became aware of how my receptivity to the speaker was shifting and modulating. Partly it was rational assessment of the content, partly intuitive probing for the speaker's true position and intent, but also a more subtle base activity underlying those, in which my ego was using the video as a support for its existence, as a boundary against which to press itself in order to take shape. |

Almost solely through in-housed three dimensional bllitting and visualisations. |

I'm mostly visual, and can think of abstract things visually. |
|
I am an extremely visual person. |

Auditory for me, visual too. |

I'm having trouble fitting my ideation to the visual/audio/kinesthetic paradigm. I'm leaning toward kinesthetic, but I've tended to term my own thinking as holographic and synthetic (as in employing synthesis). I have a good instinct for the shapes paradigms take, so I can get a rough sketch of the "big picture" of any given paradigm with very few details. I remember things best by fixing them at the intersection of multiple paradigms, and find solutions to problems by...kind of figuring out what fits in the hole in one or more paradigms referenced in the problem. Also, I often find novel or difficult solutions by referencing seemingly unrelated paradigms to get a feel for how the situation at hand should flow. |

My interpretation of the dancer is clockwise most of the time in my perception as a viewer: |

Visual for me. Alot of times I feel like I am the only human being with consciousness at times. Especially when im out on the town and just watch how people react to situations and move about. I think Im the only one that's actually thinking. lol. |

I don't know how to describe how my mind works. People talk about visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners, but I am equally good in each of those methods. I have a constant stream of thoughts in my head along with a movie that the thoughts are describing. If i'm doing a math problem it goes like this: |
|
It sounds like you are more visual because you get a picture in your head. |
|
Im gonna take the lazy way of explaining how i think. According to the dancer test posted by Mystery Hunter i am Right Brained. |

I never bought the right/left thing, as it relates to jobs. People like to say software people are left-brained, but left-brain does not mean "logical"... it's more... busy-work. Even math/computers/sciences becomes right-brained, especially when you get into more abstract reasoning. |
|
More direct, intuitive, even idiosyncratic assessments of your mental processes are welcome, also. |

When adding larger numbers in my head, I always add left-to-right, though in school they taught us only right-to-left. Anyone else do it that direction? |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
I'd say I'm mostly visual. I tend to organize my thoughts spatially relative to each other. Basically everything I know is in a big web that I can see in my head. When I study for exams, I tend to unfocus my eyes, and move my hands around so I can really get the picture in my head. |

I add right to left |
|
Hmm, I guess you're right. It doesn't so much eliminate carrying as make it more intuitive (for me). When you go left to right, you've got something whole or complete the whole way along, and you just adjust or fine tune it as you work toward smaller values, whereas right to left you've got nothing until you hit the final answer. More of my holographic thinking at work, I guess |
