Follow-up: How do you think?

The Task

Answer the question: How do you think?

Try to figure out how your thought process works and explain. As with all questions regarding who you are, this question is more challenging and more valuable if you are honest with yourself.

My Answer

Most of my thought occurs in two forms. The first is words, and I don’t feel that much of an explanation is necessary for that approach to thought. The other form that I have found myself using is thinking in concepts. What this does is provide me with shortcuts and keeps language from hindering the thought process. How this approach to thought works is difficult to explain (although I have tried on my personal blog). It’s basically the idea that you know what you are thinking but don’t bother to find the words for it.
