I don't know if I'm part of a minority, but I have no internal monologue or dialogue unless I explicitly decide to have one. My default thinking mode is in abs

  It's difficult to tell if you're in a minority or not, because this is an area where one can say a lot of different things about themself and still be correct. We also tend to think in abstract concepts but we also narrate things like text we're reading or sort of talk to ourselves in our mind when we're doing things. How do we know if we're explicitly deciding? No idea. But we do know that our speed of thought is not limited by how fast we can mentally narrate, and translating things into words isn't an overhead on anything. Our thoughts aren't made of words, the words only describe thoughts that we have already derived. Weirdness all around! -Emily
