For what it's worth, I have perhaps the opposite[1], unless imagining a conversation or reading/writing I think almost entirely in mental pictures and the manipulation thereof. It's part of the reason my memory is so effective, and verbal reasoning confounds me to some degree.

Every embarrassing moment I've ever had is right there at hand.
