Visual—I don’t really see things, I just get some weird topological-ish representation.
My visual imagination matches your whole paragraph exactly. Great description.
I think the rest of my responses are typical: reasonable sound imagination, minimal taste&touch&smell imagination. Thinking is a mix of abstract stuff and words and images. Little mind control, no synesthesia. Strong internal monologue: at the extreme, most everything I think is backed by the monologue in some way, and the monologue is nearly continuous; at the other extreme if I’ve been meditating a lot in the past month there’s much less monologue.
My memory is worse than average, I think. I don’t remember a whole lot after a year has passed. I get the impression that many people associate many of their long term memories with time (like, what month it was or what season it was). I don’t, at all. I’ll remember something that happened during undergrad, but have to reason from context about whether it would have been the first year or last year (which is usually easy to figure out, but that knowledge is not attached to the memory).
