I think about the amount of people who have no internal monologue a lot. If having it is the actual wiring of the brain or just a different kind of filter that demands everything be articulated in case it needs to be spoken. They say only half of everyone has it and neither side knows the other exists. It's unnerving.
I've also heard that a lot of people think in printed words, seeing their thoughts lined up in their mind in real time like newspaper type.
These things can't be a measure of intelligence, there are way too many people who are genuinely smart that fall into either category. It just seems strange.
Do you think the internal monologue separates (as a whole, I'm sure there's exceptions) introverts from extroverts? Maybe the reason extroverts seek out others, is that's how they bounce ideas, whereas the introverts are busy thinking, and the interruptions are tiresome.
Possibly, sure. I hate to use the term but personalities are on a spectrum and it would take a study to sort it all out. Part of me would be afraid to read the results because we might find out that there are a growing number of people who think only in emojis.
