Thinking
How do you think? For the first time, now I'm at uni, I'm coming into touch with people who don't seem to have concepts of anything 
These are quite intelligent people - physics postgrads - but at least one actually belittled me, telling me that it wasn't that hard to describe something in words. Which strikes me as a very odd comment, because it's no different from translating into a foreign language, and that's considered to be very difficult.
So, um, how do you think? For me, I've not changed since I was a child - mostly concepts, with some pictures and words thrown in. This, for example, was 50% dictated to myself in words, and 50% subconciously translated, depending on how sensical I wanted the paragraph to be.
So, yeah, I guess this is normal, and these folks are just super-intelligent?

(lots of porn, I expect )Im not totally sure how I think...
I guess I think in voices, I talk to myself, I remember things that are said or that has been written. so when writing this I am following the voice in my head. It tells me to do things
. I work very much on experiences though... I think back to things that have been said, phrases, things I have done or been told... I guess. Its a very hard thing to explain really, how you think

You hear voices?
Just, let me know if they tell you to free France, and I'll phone up that friend of mine with the white coat for you 
I don't quite get what you mean about experiences?

How would you ideally describe 'personification' to me?
Actually screw that. Are you on drugs? What the hell is this thread about?

Yes I hear me...
erm well for example when I am doing a question my mind flicks through all similar things I have experienced... to find a similar example. It works by analogy if you like. Same with other things... I think back to phrases I have read, to things I have seen and done and been told. Like something a teacher said, or the words in a book. Its a little bizarre I guess, but generally how I think.

What are you hinting I personify? If indeed you are at all - I must confess, I'm tired, and subtleys often pass me by at this time of night 
My, this is an odd thread. Well, it's very difficult to accurately reflect to you how I think, but I generally think in shapes and colours - I know that may not be terribly enlightening to any of you, but I really can't be arsed to explain it right now.
I am not hinting you personify anything. You said that it was odd to describe something in words and I was wondering how then you would describe the word 'personify' (just a word picked out of the blue) to somone that didn't know what it was. Would you draw a picture? Hum a little tune?

No, I said it was difficult. Having said that, the word "personify" is easy - it's a middle-length word, with three sticks, begining with P, and containing the following 8 other letters, in the following order : E, R, S, O, N, I, F, Y
And those aren't words they are shapes that just happen to represent words? Right?

What? the letters are shapes which represent sounds, and make up words. The words are, um, words. It's a word, BECAUSE it's made up of these shapes. It's not "represented by them".
represent.

I think the op has a point.
Thinking in colours and shapes is not a concept that i can even understand. I also know someone who can do sum and multiplication of 6 figure numbers almost instantly in there head. That has to be something to do with the way in which they think. It makes you wonder if everyone has the same concept of reality due to the way in which there brain is "wired".

It might, but then there are umpteen shortcuts to multiplying long numbers in your head - it's not very difficult, it's just a routine. Plus, after doing it for a while, you start to see patterns and ways of 'tricking the system' so to speak, so you don't have to do the full multiplication.
I still don't get what the point of this thread is. Are we trying to compare consciousnesses?

I don't think it really has a 'point' as of such, but was just an enquiry to see whether people can explain how they think, as opposed to a real question being asked as of such.
I still think she was on drugs at the time of posting.
"I'm coming into touch with people who don't seem to have concepts of anything" ~ obviously mistaking vegetables and other inanimate house-hold objects for people.
"This, for example, was 50% dictated to myself in words, and 50% subconciously translated" ~ what the hell does this mean?
